    please help me start again!

    Hi Abbie! I am starting again after losing (and putting back on) 21lbs earlier this year. I fell off the wagon due to a house move, kitchen renovation, wedding stress and getting lazy. I am determined to stick with it this time - photos at my MIL2Bs wedding made me realise I do not want to be...

    Allergy question?!?

    Ok so this is VERY off topic BUT I got some of that Clinique All About the Eyes eye cream free in glamour this month and its says suitable for all skin types. Now I may be wrong but I always thought Clinique was a pretty good skincare brand and even though I have suffered from sensitive skin...

    Which Hand Cream do you use?

    I like Hand Food from Soap&Glory - not sure how much it costs because I always seem to acquire it around Xmas time in a gift set but can't imagine it would be more than £7.00 Bx

    incentives

    This was my incentive too...until it was pointed out that unless you are buying off the rack wedding dresses can take months to make/fit correctly :eek: Now like all brides I want the perfect dress and know that it'll take time but I also dont want to feel like an elephant when doing something...

    Wii Fit Plus

    I do! I love it...Its so blooming cruel though squealing when I get on it lol! My favourites are hula hooping and free step or jogging which I do whilst watching tv or listening to my iPod. I hate the gym environment and find the wii fit really helps me exercise. Plus if you dont use it all that...

    Wedding venue questions...

    I am wedding venue scouring at the moment and one question to remember is "Is that price inclusive of VAT and service?" There is nothing worse that thinking that you have been given the price for your venue and thinking all is well and then finding an extra 25 or 30% has been whacked on!

    'Britain's fattest teenager' regains weight after losing 14st

    This girl isnt even 18 yet and they've predicted if she continues as she is (and unless some rich person is willing to pay the £3,600.00 a month to send her to the fat camp it seems she will) she'll be dead by the time she is 20. And thats so very sad. Most of the time when people blame their...

    SW panic - going to Nando's...

    1/4 (or 1/2) a chicken, take the skin off, spicy rice and corn on the cob. Most SWers take the chicken as free, rice as 1.5 syns and the corn is free. Its probably the best place out to eat as its all so simple! Chips are a no :-( but you can have the fat free frozen yog at about 3 syns. If you...

    Jongleurs comedy club and hotels, covent garden

    Problem with london is even the travelodges/premier inn types want £100 a night and thats just a room (no lovely toiletries to pinch :D) my advice is to check out laterooms.com or stay somewhere like Wimbledon which will be a bit cheaper and you can be in Covent Garden within half an hour if you...

    Hi! I (re) started slimming world Monday and I want to lose just over 4stone for my wedding in May 2012. Its a really good diet and it was down to my attitude at the time rather than the diet that I stopped (I followed it half heartedly for 4 months and still managed to lose a stone )...
