    Well done, 1lb is going in the right direction!! I'm loving the free chicken, fish and eggs. I've been mostly on plan so hoping for another small loss on friday. Finding it harder and harder to stay away from the xmas goodies though.

    Anyone doing Flex??

    Yeah that's what it looks like to me too!!! Quite enjoying the new plan though, nice having some free foods other than fruit and veg. You'll make it to Sunday no bother lil miss!!! Boofle i find the plan pretty much the same but more foods have zero points now.

    I hate those skint weeks, it's so unfair it's cheaper to eat crap than it is to eat healthy!! I am lucky that there is almost always fruit and salad stuff left over at the end of the week at work so i can take some home. I have been a bit naughty too, i had a chicken fried rice and a small...
