I've been reading this thread with great interest. Ever since I joined the FL and I started dressing better, my wardrobe has been my main motivator to stay in shape. As such, I've significantly limited my food intake. I admit right now, that I have almost NO self-discipline when it comes to diet, exercise and portion-control. But for the past two or three months, I've been cutting down on my intake and I have lost weight. I'm not sure how much, though. I started at 68kg (149 and a half pounds). Right now, I'm down to about 64 or 63kg (138 and a half pounds). So I've lost about ten pounds (give or take a few ounces). My height in the "old language" as my highschool sports-teacher would say, is five feet, six inches.
Feeling very proud of myself right now. I don't know if I could live with the "ration-book diet", although I can see that it would certainly have dietary and nutritional benefits.
When I was in London earlier this year, my father and I went on the Blitz Walk (one of the walking tours offered around London). The tourguide told our group that during the War, people were actually a lot healthier than at almost any other time in history, because their food-intake was so restricted and they didn't have the advantages (or privileges) of excess that we have today.
