Aren't diets like that more for people who need operations? It's ok losing 10lbs a week, but the minute you lose your weight and start eating again, your body will automatically look to build up it's fat reserves again.

I'd recommend you try and find a balance of healthier eating and some exercise if at possible? I now it must be difficult with a little one, but burning more calories than you use is better than not using enough calories.

This is all well and good, but I want to be a size 10 again by my birthday, which normal dieting wont allow

We are having a big night out, meeting with people from school and stuff, so I want to look good

So I'm thinking less about the long term aspects of it tbh.

Ahh - ok. A womans prerogative? Why didn't you say so?!

In that case, isn't there a cabbage diet that the hospitals use?

Thats not really realistic when its gotta pretty much be til january. That cabbage thing might ake me lose it all in 2 months, but by january I will have a lot back on.

Apparently with atkins after the first few weeks you can slowly add carbs, but the weight stays off..so I was thinking a month or two of caning it, then adding to make it more healthy, and that way I should hold out til january
