maddy -- I am on the wagon!! I'm at 1500 calories for the day and I am eating only grapefruit for dinner! Then I plan to do my pilates before I go to bed. (((((maddy)))) you are NOT alone.

As for the breakouts...the only thing that works reliably for me makes most people cringe. I pour a bit of rubbing alcohol on a swab and scrub my face with it. If I do this for 4-5 days, the pimples seem to evaporate.....for quite a while.

However, this strategy is not recommended for those who are into face moisturizers and other such things. But it does seem to work.
