Yes just if your going out of sharm, but this time they just really got us all to line up and get one, which i found was strange perhaps its changed but I think its best to get one, as you might do a trip and saves hassel if you dont have one.... eg. cairo, jeruseulm, luxor, some snorkle trips...

Thanks Sooshine :) Will know tonight !! Congrats on your 7 - youll be at your goal in no time :) keep up the good work. Fingerscrossed. Amber

Tasha, Kealey Nice losses ladies!! Well done :)) Amber

Hi Nikki Now if those were actual double flips i'd say that was instead of the aqua challenge :)) but alas..... evil chuckle.... Amber

Hi Slimmingagain Ouch, your pain sounds awful and restrictive hope you feel better soon. With regards your question about taking a week off in Italy, yes i think i am going too and then focus 100% when im back. But perhaps not eat all around me..and maybe a few nice walks by the lake... we...

Morning Nikki (Hope you dont mind me calling you that, its either that or ATM - but i wouldnt mind having a buddy who was an ATM so no matter either way) That person saying those things sounds horrible, but at least i guess its to your face and you can go tell them to well, whatever words of...

mmm pizza :)) Keep up good work Johnny, its very hard to turn down the sauce once its made - so you did great . Amber

Hey Sean Welcome :)) Im so jealous of your home gym - sounds great. Keep up with your goal - perhaps do a food diary to ensure the 1500! Its very easy to slip if your not watching, at least until it becomes your new way of eating and or lifestyle.. Lets know how you get on. Amber :))

Hi Sliming again, Well firstly this is NOT the way you should do the diet, so i wouldnt recommend it. Also im not going to do it ALL the time, just from now till my holiday in feb. Then back to sole source. To be honest, mentally it helps me at present as i know i will have my 'threat' at...

Oh no so sorry you hate water :(( I try gulp mine back at times and i find if i dont have it toooooo cold, its easier to drink. When its cold, i find it terrible to drink. Not sure Ive any other tips , perhaps hypnosis? lol.... Amber
