Jo, i appreciate you wrote this thread ages ago but i'm just trawling through .... I gatecrashed Mr. Woodcock's seminar on Thursday - he's fabulous isn't he!! I would ring the secretary and tell her you've done the food for thought and as long as you have some kind of history of dieting and problems - doctors appointments - different diets - exercise then I'm sure you won't have to redo ... i'm on the program lighten up through northumberland and have done about 7 of dietician and exercise. update me - where are you now? have you had surgery??
