    New Years Resolutions???

    That if I do ANYTHING dietwise, I am going to have to give up chocolate. It's my weakness. I can't pack away bix/cake/anything else like I do choc - it's like it is my trigger for everything else. It's almost like - "if I am eating choc then I am not on a diet - if I am not on a diet, I...

    Slimming world or ww?

    I understand your dilemma - and right now I feel like crap too. I have had a weight prob all of my adult life and yoyo-ed on/off. I then used soups/shakes/bars (no name no pack drill, but I took a stonking lot off and put it all back on with VAT and a small tip). Now I want to eat properly...

    Matter of Taste

    Please forgive me if this topic has come up before, but I have wondered if anyone else has used 'flavourings' to cheer up their shakes/soups? Now, I know that some have used coffee and sweetner in some of the shakes, but has any of you tried the Dr Oetker natural flavourings that you have in...

    Snow was a surname on my mother's side of the family. As I resembled predominantly that side, I was referred as definitely looking like a Snow-Baby :-)

    Has anyone swapped from CD to Exante?

    Yes, I did - but only after a long break. My CDC was lovely and the shakes/bars great - but I prefer if this way, especially since the soups seem so much better. Good luck with yours :-)

    I would stay on the diet and use the meal money to get yourself something nice - as in 'oooh look at that lipstick - I can have THAT on the Cambridge diet!!!' lol Seriously, have a great time and enjoy yourself in whatever form it takes :-)
