I lost about 60 pounds about a year/year n a half ago - the only thing I can reccomend is exercise. I've been overweight since I was a kid and i only lost weight when I was going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week and playing rugby twice a week.......I've put a bit back on over the last month or so (scummy ex-bf!!) but I'm getting my fat ass back to the exercise class so hopefully it'll disappear again!
