Four out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline（腰圍）, a study revealed today．The research also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight．

Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said: 'In the UK 61．4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese．Successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good．Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important．Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started．

The ‘Food: Body: Mind’ report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss．Six in ten said they are currently on a diet and one in five women said they are on a continuous diet．

It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their reflection in the mirror , preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites．Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half．

However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more．The average is ten days．Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal．Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers who polish off their children's leftovers was another common cause of weight gain．

James Blunt is one of the most popular singers in the UK. His first album, Back to Bedlam, and his number one hit, You’re Beautiful, brought him fame in 2005. his music is a mix of pop, rock and folk.

Blunt comes to China for the first time this month, he will hold two concerts, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai on April 18 and 19 respectively.

Blunt, 34, took an unusual path to stardom. His father was a soldier and so was his grandfather.

“The only music he heard growing up was Happy Birthday and Silent Night. His father considered all music, even classical, to be unnecessary noise,’ reads Blunt’s official website.

Even though Blunt did not want to join the military, he eventually followed his father’s wishes, and served as a soldier in Kosovo on peacekeeping duty.

“Like any parents, mine wanted me to have a secure job with a regular wage and career prospects,” Blunt said. “And the one job my father knew of, that he’d had experience of himself, was the army, so he could help me in that direction.”

Blunt eventually became a Captain. One of his final duties in the army before retirement was carrying the coffin(棺材) at the funeral of the Queen Mother of England in 2002.

But Blunt couldn’t escape his love for music. So, after leaving the British Army he moved to Los Angeles and worked on his first album. While in LA, Blunt lived with the actress Carrie Fisher, who played the lead female role in the Star Wars movie. He recorded his song, Goodbye My Lover, in his bathroom, where he kept a piano.

Blunt took his new album back to England where it was not very successful. But he kept performing and eventually his song, You’re Beautiful, became a number one hit.

Now Blunt has won numerous awards, sold millions of records and dated super models.

But his greatest accomplishment might be that his father now enjoys music!
