How long does it take? That really depends on the person. Reinhard 
claims on the site that it takes about 3 weeks. For me, that was kinda 

true, but at the same time, I "fell" as you put it twice since those 

three weeks. The first time was a short period around Christmas...Then 

again when I got back to work (work at a high school) after the 
Christmas one I gained all my weight back, and started over...Got back 

to work, went for a week fine, then I started working so much that all I 

could do was snack. It's been about a month since I restarted again, 
and I still have a hard time passing up those candy bars that we sell at 

the basketball games, that I get for free. Yet, I force myself as much 

as possible, and if I slip...Well, I try to not slip again that day 
(though often if I do, the whole day seems to be craving sweets) but I 

weighed myself for the first time since I restarted this weekend, and 
I'm back down those 15...So, from here it's all progress, and I have no 

holidays that should mess me up. So basically, what I'm trying to say 
is, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and give it another go...and 
another, and another. If you need help, look to the group, they'll be 
happy to give you the support, I'll be happy to take anything you say 
and turn it into a long story about myself : ), if you need more 
physical help, tell someone to slap your hand every time you're caught 

with an S, or put money in a jar each time you fall as someone suggested 

a while back (I've toyed with that idea...I need all the money I make, 

would stop slips pretty quick).
