At the risk of getting shouted down for intruding in a forum area that I am not qualified to be in (not being cabin crew I mean), may I offer my experience to you:
I have lost 30kg this year and over 28cm (almost 12 inches) off my waist through nothing more than eating the right food and doing a little more exercise than I used to, but nothing extraordinary.
I won't bore you with details right now unless you're interested. Either PM me or reply to this thread and I'll get back to you.
I have not paid a cent to ANY diet company or multi-level-marketing company *cough*Herbalife*cough*, and I am not looking at making any money out of sharing with you here, I only raise it out of pride in my accomplishment and a desire to share with anyone else interested in getting their body back.
Cheers,
wishtobflying
