Wow Christine, great to hear that they have contacted you. I hope that you have a good interview and photoshoot. Want to read all about it here. You never know what will make the papers.

I'm sure they will have thier own agenda, so make sure that you have yours as well and write down beforehand all the points you want to get across. They may well ignore them, but at least you will have tried.

Hope its a great interview.

Hi Christine,

Good luck with your interview tonight, don't let them twist your words.

Keep us posted on when they're going to run the story.

They have contacted me as well now. Going to have the interview, by phone this evening and photo tonight as well. Will be interesting. I'll keep you posted.

thats great anne, pleased i,m not the only one.

christine

They've changed their tune just a bit haven't they? lol

Good luck girls!

Good for you Anne. Let's hope that they listen to the facts and write an unbiased piece.

Good luck.

Good Luck Anne. Come and tell us all about it as soon as you can.

hi folks,
the interview is done, just the photo session to do now.i think they want more on the weightloss aspect than the diabetes control.not sure if being able to stop insulin by means of this woe is sensational enough.we,ll see.

christine

Hi Christine

Glad it went well. I would say the diabetes control is really important especially at the moment with all the ridiculous stories on how bad to your health Atkins is.
It's about time a newpaper printed how it can be GOOD for you. Fingers crossed they will include this in the article.

Anyway to more important matters LMAO what are you wearing for the photo shoot and are you going to have a 'make over' too?

it would take a lot longer than 24 hours for a makeover,i need implants and a lot of cement for a start!
have to make do with a visit to the hairdressers in the morning-hi and low lights touch up, and then on to the shopping.the reporter said "wear something" summery",shed better not mean a dress.never worn a dress since i got married 26 years ago.i,m a jeans and t-shirt girl.might go for some trousers and a dressy top(yuk).bet i feel a right berk!mind, i won,t let the side down, i.ll cover the tats.
there again, this is the sun we,re talking about,do you think they would like to see a 45 year old diabetic grandmother with tattoos wearing ketosix across the boobs?
might make front page!!


christine

you need help lady!! glad the interview went ok, as your agent when do I get my cut, and I dont mean the hair kind either!!

Hi Christine, was it Jane Barnes that interviewed you. I thought that she had a pleasant manner. Hope I remembered everything of importance.

When I got home I found a message from the photographer who said could he come earlier, he was scheduled for 7 pm, so said yes and he arrived around 5 45. Took some photos and went about an hour later. No sooner had he gone than a lady knocked on my door to do my hair and make up for the photo shoot. So we had an interesting discussion about what had happened. Anyway she went away and phoned and in the end it was decided that she would do my make up and the photographer would have to come back. What fun. So I had my makeup done and then had more photos taken. The lady from the Sun rang up during this time so she ended up interviewing me around 8 20 rather than 6 30 pm as orgininally planned. Good job I was not doing anything else. Had a good positive chat about Atkins and low carbing in general. Hope I got all the good points across. Forgot to mention the importance of drinking water! Wonder when the article will run and if I will feature in it at all?

So Christine make sure that the two arrive together and don't get put off by one. You will also probably need one of your old style outfits so you can show how much weight you have lost. The photographers and make up people are free lance, so they need to be all coordinated together!!!! Enjoy being pampered. I've got some mascara and lipstick out of it. I certainly look a bit different. Very large eyes!

Now all we have to do is watch and wait! Who can spot the article first.

Looked at what you said about clothes. I was told not to wear black. Wore trousers and figure hugging top to show off the developing curves! Your body shows off better in that rather than a dress. Skirts are for work!

must have been great to be pampered for a bit!! I will look forward to seeing both your articles in the sun (page 3, eh girls!!)
