Hi Ermintrude! I often come lurking around your diary to view your food, it always looks so delish!!!! x
Hi Erm
I feel that I know you so well having read your diary from start to finish over the last coule of weeks, it's been so uplifying to read and should be on a best seller list somewhere! Your recipes I have copied them all and now have an Erm's recipe book in my kitchen (thanks also to Honey, Mama etc who have also added to it, I have subscribed to their threads to read now).
Your weight loss is phenomenal, and you deserve every pound that you've lost.
Thank you.

This is my slimpod blog http://jackienewmanslimpodjourney.blogspot.com/
Slimpods have peeled away the layers like an onion. Putting me back in control of food rather than food controlling me
I made my own the first time I used any, then I bought a bottle from The Asian Cookshop
Both were fine, but its much cheaper just to buy the bottle for the amount you get out of a pomegranate!
