    Pakora , as in chicken pakora that you buy from indian takeaway's ? If it's the same sauce as used to have it's cream based so would be higher in points.x

    What do you wear

    Well done for joining the gym by the way. And your right they will all be too busy to worry about your clothes.
  121. slimmarach

    What do you wear

    I am the same clothes size as you and i buy from m&s. They have lovely polo t-shirts and jogging bottoms. Really a lot cheaper than the sports shop as you will have to replace each time you drop a size.
