Wow ojoj, you are a star! Six stone, if I could lose 3st I'd be delirious! You must be so proud of yourself and rightly so.

I can never aspire to your success, my excuse is that I am old. It is only an excuse because I should have stuck with Atkins years ago - and years before that I should have stuck with Prof Yudkin..

My carb count is about right but as Just Jo and the other lovely posters here suggest, my calorie count needs a little trimming.
