    Sorry, response was perhaps too brief and was a response to your original and this post.

    Tories to ditch alcohol units system

    Actually centilitres of alcohol per measure would be a more accurate method, assuming that people actually measure their drinks in mls, etc. Units have often been seen as arbitary - one glass of wine has many a meaning :p

    You'll soon lose that 1 lb. I've got bored of DC many times. I think it may be best to do one month on and one month calorie counting. Even with the variety, it is all kind of similar after a while. I'm sure DC won't like my suggestion though hehe!

    I've been thinking about JUDDD - it sounds like my kind of diet! When I'm good on the DC programme the losses have been excellent and consistent - think about 5lbs first week then 2 or 3 lbs after with the odd 1 or so thrown in. Alas, the diet is great but I'm the one lacking!

    Woohoo :D My time bank in Wii Fit has turned gold - 10 hours of usage apparently - blimey! Been using the short job on the spot - blimey, 3 mins have never been so hard lol I'm sure it will get better.

    I can relate to that the worry but have decided to deal with any skin as and when. I'm going to start using Bio Oil again twice a day - some say it works, others say not. Exercise is a definite, as is patience as it apparently can take 2 years for skin to shrink!

    The tikka massala was heavenly and I see what you mean about the sauce, but I eat with a spoon anyway lol Easier imho! Had a bad night - well irritating. Stupid neighbours down the road throwing a party and making way too much noise, then lots of talking in the street, etc. Admittedly some...

    They say they have sent all the QVC ones so at least that is done. I sure hope you get it soon :) Imho, I think you have a right to take it up with them - I certainly would and ask for an explanation - it's only courtesy imho! Especially since they say next day/two days, not an entire week!

    Bummer re your order :( I think you need 50 posts to get full privileges on here - there's something up the Introduction forum about what you need. I don't use the gallery myself and haven't got any after photos. I so wish hehe!

    Ooh Shep hope the weather is good. I need to tidy up the garden and sort out the veg and stuff. My tomatoes, etc. are just not ripening :( I'm hoping they turn sudden. As for my sweet potatoes - well, pitiful is all I'm saying! Charlene - I look forward to seeing you on Facebook - it's a...

    I hope they do more paella type stuff - maybe a ham and pea risotto, yum! Would mind more fish though but I've decided that when we go out to eat, I shall get my fish dosage then hehe!

    oh noooo

    Wow, mine was next day but then I'm on the monthly scheme so they knew it was due well in advance. They will email you a tracking number once despatched - perhaps email them and see what the problem is. I would think they are overloaded what with being the Today's Special Value on QVC a couple...

    Week One WI

    Good luck with WI - hopefully you will be surprised. There are two days I plan to celebrate and let loose and that's 1. My birthday and 2. Christmas Day. I figure two days isn't so bad. Problem arises with the temptation of other's people's birthdays and Christmas parties. They soon mount up...

    I shall be having the chicken tikka tonight - just got to rummage in the box for it. It's a lovely start to the day here in sunny Manchester - fingers crossed it stays that way :D Hope everyone else is having a sunny day :D

    I take Alli but only if I eat 15g or above on the fat (but not if it's a pizza obviously cos that would be disasterous, eek!) Here's hoping Xenical speeds it up - I'm not sure the Alli is making much of a difference - hard to tell to be honest. Weekend - going to Somerset to visit a few...

    I had the paella tonight and wow, it was really lovely - the smell was incredible! It was odd with the veg - next time I'll have the veg separate. I did a whopping 40 mins today on the Wii Free Step - set on fast pace with 10 mins at lunch and 30 mins at five o'clock. Think I may have to move...

    Whoops Diversity - missed your second post re chicken tikka masala - did you add veggies cos that's what I usually do. Ooh, I've got some in my box and will give it a go tomorrow :D Sounds lovely but will no doubt have to add some extra chilli ;)

    Alas your faith in me is misplaced - I've been a bad girl :( What is it with me and junk food! On well, onwards and upwards - no more rubbish today and a good day tomorrow ;) In good news, calories are about 1,200 for the day so not all bad I guess.

    Week 4 WI

    Congrats on the STS - that's a victory in itself :) It may be the chocolate, it may be that you've had some amazing losses so far and the body needs to adjust. Either way, chunner on and next week you'll no doubt lose something - wouldn't it be great if the human body worked like a machine...

    Italian woman sues EasyJet after 'being told she was too fat'

    Oh my, poor lady! I can sympathise with the airlines and people not fitting into seats without squashing their neighbours but that's going way way too far - awful! Hope she gets decent compensation.

    I'm doing okay thanks - ignoring the little voice in my head that keeps telling me one kebab won't harm, etc. etc. etc. Stupid brain! hehe!

    The Exante week's worth consists of 7 shakes, 7 soups and 7 bars which add up to 600 cals. You can do total food replacement which is what I'm doing at the mo for 5 days having done two intro days. You don't have to do it as a total food replacement. Like W8, they have different plans, so you...
