Thanks for the input! Yeah I can go without the snacking but to cut carbs completely just makes me bloody depressed lol! I am glad to hear so many people speak ppositively about it so am going to give it a try and see how things go. As for the tae-bo... its just great to get some exercise back into my life... I have been really lazy for too long... but I wont lie, my body is taking strain... just goes to show how darn unfit I am haha :) - but... baby steps :D
