Thanks for all your replies - and the kick up the bum!!! I WILL get back into it and lose my stone before Xmas (3 lbs to go!) Can't go to class this week (Tues) as I'm away for work, and there aren't any others I can go to, but I'll go the following week and hopefully leave with a shiny new sticker - and weigh a stone less than I did at the beginning of October
