    Im back for good! 2012 is my year to taste success-& it tastes like a cambridge shake

    Thanks Katie, I'm not too proud of myself today- I've had a shitty day to be honest! I had a CD summer fruits shake for breakfast, then went cockle picking (!) in Oxwich Bay which was fine - no food around for miles so I was OK! Then on the way home we stopped in to watch my nephew's rugby...

    Hey hunni, Well done on your 100% day and 3l of water!! I think you're being too hard on yourself missy! You should be congratulating yourself on that 4lb loss this week! Here's to 5lbs next week! I've had a shitty day, I had a summer fruits shake for breakfast, then went cockle picking...

    Day 5! 15:24pm I’m 5 days in and I KNOW I’m going to go all the way down to 8 stone!! It doesn’t matter what obstacles get in my way, or if for some part of it I take the scenic route I AM going to get there! And by Christmas 2010 I’m going to be a hell of a lot slimmer! That’s not to say...

    Morning everyone, I've got a confession to make - I got up this morning and had another sneaky weigh!! And that little 2lbs has turned into 5lbs loss overnight!! Not sure that's even possible?? But now I know it can fluctuate up and down that much on my scales I'm just gonna go at it 100%...
