Hi all,

I have tried SW & WW and Fasting diets over the last few years but have been unable to stick to them, I have made good progress on all at some stage but have then have slipped off. My wife and I are travelling with my sister in law and her husband to Vegas in October and this has spurred my into action. The couple we are travelling with are extremely photogenic ( as is my wife) and there will be 100's ( not a joke) of photos being taken when we are there so I want to be comfortable having snaps taken, so I will be kicking this off tomorrow and will keep it updated in an attempt to keep me on track....
