    if you dont lose for some weeks, then take a step back and put it in perspective - see how much you've lost so far and try some different foods, different meals, vary the way you eat, dont have the same breakfasts for instance, because its the variation that makes your body work harder to get...

    Is SW really difficult for you guys who like a drinkie?

    im not much of a drinker during the week, but if im out with friends i can quite easily drink malibu and diet coke, my downfall is when i decide i need a double vodka and red bull which then leads to the shots...hence why ive got 3 horrible bruises on my arm from falling over...i dont get that...

    Are KIDS throwing a spanner in your works????

    thats definately true circes, but most of that was me doing it myself 'oh ive done my homework so i deserve some chocolate' rather than my mum and dad 'rewarding' me with food, they tended to buy me clothes or a new toy if id been good
