good luck, when is your final?

i know it shouldnt just be about the biggest loss, but if you look back over the previous winners, you will see they have massive losses, your prob in with a great chance youself, its nice to have got this far, theres 29 in this district (N Ireland), but being realistic its hard to see me...

2 the C is meant to do the board, but mine said to me "i havent a clue what that is.." so i dont know if shes going to do one are not, thanks x

compared with all the previous district winners its nowhere near enough to win, i know that, but its nice to have got this far,

anyone for the district finals of woman of the year on sunday?

i am through to my district finals too, its on sunday!! i am not sure what to wear, or how dressy upsey its going to be, i was under the impression the consultant did a journey board for you? i am getting nervous, tho i am sure i wil go no further cause i only lost 6.5 stones, and even tho its...

just updating my own thread, i lost 6 stone in a year, and im still on depo, 13 months since i joined SW i have 6 stone 6lb off so i dont think depo stopped my progress

hi there im back, still loosing, lost over 6 stone in a year, now at target, and gone below target, still taking the xen, usually just one a day, but determine never to go back to my old obese ways

in work today with NOOOOOO Xenical :mad:...i forgot to replace the empty pack, with a new pack!!! ahh well....ate fruit and yoghurts all day, so not much need for for them anyways:D

ahh thank you, im hanging on in there, and hoping it pays off! im sure you havent been as bad as you think!:D

my next goal to loose 2.5lbs to get my 4.5 stone award, i really wanted it last week, but had a totally unexpected, out of the blue, STS...so i want that 4.5 stone award asap!

even tho i had a STS this week, i tried on the the clothes i wore on the first nite i joined SW...and they are literally FALLING off me...and i can now fit my 2 legs into the same trouser leg:D

our consultant recently told us "SW NEVER closes down a group" seems she is wrong! tho she doesnt go to a group either, which really makes me :mad:..shes hardly in a place to call out weights, ask you what you will do to improve your loss for next wk etc if she dont even go herself!! rant...

ahh tanks, have been really good again this week, and i am hoping for a loss at Mondays WI i am the opposite...i am prob even more determine now than i was at the start...mayeb its cause at over 60lbs lighter its not as big a struggle now, or maybe its cause i can now see the end in sight...

thanks, i hadnt heard that, i might well drop back to 1 or 2 a day, one of my meals (breakfast) is fruit, yoghurts and a SW Cereal bar, so i could cut the Xen from that meal maybe?

i have swopped my exercise bike for weight bands, so im hoping that helps, thank you for the tip;) hell yeah...i got to stay positive...for that split second when i looked down on the scales and saw the same weight again...i was:mad: so very :mad: and i very easy could have :cry: but i...

this is how it works in our group too,

i started SW just over 6 months ago at 18.1:o i am currently 13.10.5 my final target is 11.12, so just under 2 stone to loose now, and people are ALWAYS saying...you must be at target now....you dont need to loose anymore...you dont want to go too far....you dont want to end up too scrawny /...

morning everyone i had my first ever STS this week :cry: and i was so disapponted, i cant tell you how good i was, stuck to the plan, lost of exercise, is it natural for everyone to plateau at some stage? i have been at slimming world 28 weeks, and lost something every single week, up...

u will get it next week!! :) i bet ya u do!! well done on this weeks loss

you back on the wagon, thats the main thing, whats done is done! good luck with the rest of your week ;)

a wee tip, i find this really helps keep u motivated, fill in your weight, height etc under "your details", cause each week u loose, and you get to knock a few lbs off your total, its a great feeling to see your weight and BMI coming down, :)

thank you so much:D we are also the same weight, :D

i hope to have my 3 stone award :eek:for halloween (3 WIs and 6.5lbs to loose) and then be outta here the next week (7th nov) be hard going, but i will give it my best shot! u gonna join me ;):D

you need to have your treats and events too, so dont feel a bit bad about it, have a flexi day :) eat, drink and be merry...for the one day, then straight back on the wagon ;)

so its not just me then :o went to water aerobics last nite, (3rd week) legs and arms a bit tired today, hope that means its working :D

well done!! great first week :)

it really does help :D....esp where theres a low moment in the day...and your feeling $hitty. :mad:..and theres a good chance u might eat something u know u will only regret..:break_diet: just come on here and look at some of the inspiritional photos and stories....and tell yourself...that...

Just the 1lb off for me this week, a wee bit disappointed, i need 2lb to stay on course for my xmas target, and i really wanted rid of the half pound, so i was ultra good, and had hoped for 2.5lb of a loss... ahh well...i did get my 2.5 stone award on my 13 week of weigh in :D so its not all bad

go you :) well done!!!!

thank you so much, the advice and support on here, means so much to me :)

i must get back on my exercise bike to just changes things around just a wee bit,

fingers crossed for all 3 of then, i wud love my mum to get a good loss like she deserves, im sure all this hard work as got to show on the scales at some stage! what form of exercise do you do? is it new to you? we were told at group with the water aerobics and circuits being new to us...

:D ahh chin up...it is disheartening..and theres no logic to it, but hang on in there i only lost 1lb this week, and my poor mum STS for the 2nd week running, and we are walking every day, and swimming and circuits once a week, and she so fed up, i am encouraging her to keep going, shes...

:) thanks, i will keep with it now...its just a wee bit disheartening...when u hear girls who have been very bold...and dont exercise...and they loose 2 or more..:cry: i know everyone is different...but theres not enough hours in the day for me to fit in anymore exercise....and i dont ever go...

it does show me though....how hard it can be to loose one pound sometimes.. like i walked 7 days a week, did a water aerobics session, a circuit training session, the Wii 3 nites, and i never went over my syns, and i am on Xen, but i will stick with it, its doing me the world of good :o

i feel sooooo much better, 14 weeks ago i could not walk the lenght of myself :o now, 2.5 stone later, walking 2 / 4 miles every day, feeling lighter on my feet, i feel a lot better! still a bit to go, but i will get there someday :)

i have put down 170lbs, but i know i will prob have to come down closer to 11.7 stone my GP said 11.7 / 12 is fine..she knows i have been overweight for years so i have 3 1/2 stone to loose now to take me to 12 stone where as when i started...i had 6 to loose to take me to 12 stone.. so...

omg...u can sooooo see a difference...:D i havent taken any pix of myself yet...aint brave enough.:eek:..and like you...i cant see a difference! well done...go you:)

yeah, the nearest thing i have ever tasted to it, outside of Ireland, is the scottish "square sausage" (which i also love:D any idea how many syns would be in this) its prob much the same. no, it doesnt come with any information on it (:eek: maybe thats worrying too!!) maybe i will just...

It’s a mixture of sausage meat and vegetables, i think its an Irish thing maybe, cant you get it anywhere else? it lovely on a fry, with bacon, sausage, eggs, tomato etc...lovely..:D

hi anyone know how many syns is in an average slice of vegetable roll? i have checked the SW website and cant find it i know lean pork is free, but i cant imagine veg roll is, cany anyone help? ta

ohh u can do it!! (early xmas party)

went to water aerobics last nite...week 2 there... can feel it working today...ouch!:) i have to step it up a gear if i hope to have an average of over 2lbs per week every week from now til the last WI before Christmas on 19th Dec! i think i will buy the Zumba for the Wii, anyone have it?

your rite!! i prob wont! or as been said on here, you just dont enjoy them as much as you can taste "fat" off them! have you a target date?

no way...not bored at all... love reading others tips / advice etc.. esp someone like yourself who has done so well... i started out 12 weeks ago at 18.1...and couldnt (still cant) set a final target, its still too daunting, i have wrote here on my statistics 12.12, but i know i will...

well done you...u look great... but tbh...u look great in ALL the pics...before...during and after great job!

wow!!! what a great loss too in 14 weeks...44lbs!! good for you!!!

well done you!!! u look fab...and all within a year..:D

TOTALLY FAB!!! And i second all the "legs" comments :D

really inspiring...well done you... half way there...:confused: i wud say...THERE...u look totally FAB ;)

u will get there soon, im sure of it ;) any tips for someone who has in the region of 4 stone to loose:eek:

is that you just 3lbs to target then ?

i have been following slimming world for 12 weeks and been on Xen for 7 of those weeks now, i find that being on Xen really does help keep me on the straight and narrow as i dont want the nasty side effects:eek:, so i really think about what i eat now more, i am happy with my losses so far...

good luck, thats my mini target for next week too fingers crossed for us both :)

yes please, i was just about to ask the same thing :)

no probs:), can i ask that if you think of it, could you maybe update here for me, thanks ;)

i think i will have a rethink as soon as i cross from 13.01 into the 12.13 bracket, it was just when i was 18.1 i couldnt even imagine seeing 15 on the scales, and 2 weigh in's ago i lost 3.5lbs so just to see 15.10.05 on the scales just felt like such a majot breakthru for me, my own gp...

Im a Monday gal too :) i find it really helps keep me on the straight and narrow over the weekend, i do update on the monday weigh in page, so i will watch out for you there, i am so focused and motivated at the mo for the 23lbs off for xmas

what day do you WI?

oh thats good....keep you on the straght and narrow over crimbo, i am more than happy (in fact i really hope there is) to go to class as normal if its held on monday

i am right with ya....i plummed for 25lbs, lost 2 last nite, so 23 to get off in the 11 weigh ins before xmas:eek:

i would guess that the venue would be free, its a community centre, we asked last night and the consultant said "ohh i dont know what happens..." i checked the website and it says "we are open 52 weeks of the year" i would go if the class is on monday as normal, but i dont think i will if...

hi, does anyone have any idea (maybe a consultant would know, have asked mine, and shes not sure) how does SW work over Xmas our class is due to fall on Boxing Day, any idea of what happens in such a case, sorry, but i wasnt a member last year, so i am not sure myself thanks

wow...its like 2 different guys so well done to ya ;)

lost 2lbs last nite at WI, so im now 15.8.5, want out of here for halloween :D

2lbs off for me:)

Week 12 at weigh in and week 7 on Xen and i had.... 2lbs off last nite at class, :) So thats 23lb to go for Christmas:eek: and 34.5lbs in total i really wanted to get my 2.5 stone award, but as its only 1/2lb....i will get it next week... i hate halves...:sigh:

2lbs off for me this week, grand total of 2 stone 6.5lbs! want rid of that pesky half next week!

2lbs off for me this week :D, i have updated the list, hope its ok bb65 22lbs (10lbs lost - 12lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (2lbs lost - 25lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (7lbs lost ~ 15lbs to go) carriebrad 22lbs (5.5lbs lost ~ 16.5lbs to go) Eyden Hainsworth 22lbs (2lbs lost - 20lbs to go) fat&40...

WI is at the Mondays 5pm class, and i do start asking myself every week from Sat / Sunday...."have i done enough...was i good enough...did i walk far enough" i never feel any different, i have had losses of anything between 1lbs and 5lbs, and i never feel any different, :confused: i am...

that might be Gormans butchers, just opposite Dunnes....must give them a try, i didnt know they did SW Sausages... but like you said, with what seems like all of newry and the surrounding areas at SW, they all are prob.doing their best, have you seen the muller lites in eurospar, 3 for 66p...

at weigh in this week...i lost 3.5lbs, so between all the walking, the Xen and slimming world....somethings working, i was so happy, i got SOTW and SOTM:D Thats taken me to 15.10.5, and just to see 15 anything on the scales felt like such an achievement, when i started out at 18.1 :o eleven...

brill :D

Was it the "meat boutique" maybe? are they syn free sausages? i must try them too, i havent tried Bellinis menu, is that Naomis choice menu? (is that the class u go to? i dont go to that one, but i follow it on facebook, some great tips and advice, as do the SW Class in Dundalk, if ur on FB...

hi, is anyone following the slimming world plan who is on the depo provera contraception injection, do you find it hampers your loss on the week you get the injection, or does it prevent you from meeing you final target at all? my own personal target is 12.12, i know its a wee bit...

i am a bit unwell myself, and yesterday my doctor give me difflam spray and a cough bottle, and i noticed both said sugar free...so does that mean no syns in either ? thanks :)

ahh thanks, :) also on saturday i dont have either healthy extra option (breads or milks) and my chinese takeaway is like my dinner and tea all in one meal i do eat free all day, fruit and free yoghurts, so i can really enjoy the curry without a shred of guilt! i have a proper sunday...

hi there, everyone is different, but i find that having your WI on monday really does help keep you on the straight and narrow over the weekend. i do have chinese takeaway every sat nite and thats my treat cause at the same time you dont want to deprive yourself! plan your meals and snacks...

if you go to the SW website and put in your postcode, the local groups will come up, :) tho our local newspaper does always carry an ad, and theres more classes listed in it, than comes up on the website, so if you dont see anything close enough that suits you, ask around, or check local...

i had a "holiday week" one month ago, was in Scotland for a week, and like you i ate like a horse and drank like a fish... and somehow...dont ask me how...i was back with 5lb off....the human body is the oddest thing... i can only thank all the walking round scotland i did...cause i ate...

thats really good....7lbs in 3 weeks....well done..we had a lady at our group who put that on in ONE week!

thanks...thats just what i will do...i havent set a final target weight yet, at the mo i am taking it "sticker at a time", so my next is 6lbs away, for my 2.5 stones award, i can do that :D

A big well done to Spuggle and Jengen!!:)

same here....but i have made a deal with myself... i am going walking...hail, rain, blow or snow! (and you know we get ALL of the above...all at once sometimes,:D) i have a good raincoat, and decent shoes..so i have no excuses...and i cant be looking for excuses...i have too much to loose...

i am just right on the border, Co Armagh, we can ...and do...walk for miles over hills and mountains...up and down..:) i am the same...last time i EVER do this. im gonna get it off....and keep it off..:D

i can see how that might happen....just getting used to to taste of less and less fat in your diet....i do have chicken curry, but i fish the chicken out of the curry sauce so i have very little of it, with boiled rice and a FEW chips :)

i can see me here (AND at Slimming World) for the rest of my days!!

hi spud, i only joined SW 9 weeks ago, tho i would say read the book, keep it to hand at all times over the first week, study it, look up foods you eat a lot, inc treats. Make a list of the syn value of treats you enjoy, and stock up on these (for me, its chomps, curly wurlys, WW Crisps...

ohhh i hate the halves too:(

so i have been taking Xenical x 3 times a day for almost a week now, before that i was only taking one a day, with my main meal. but i decided to take on board all advice i have read and been given here, and start taking it 3 times a day. so i will update tomorrow as to how weigh in tonite...

well done you :D

i do feel like this every monday..:eek: have i done enough exercise...ate all the right things...really want 2lb off tonite.. (for my club 10)....but i think thats a big ask after 5lbs off last week.... 5pm will tell the tale..:eek: i was very good...but u can be good every week...doing...

go you!!!! well done:)

well done you! is that about a half stone?

congrats...well done you x

could i be added please, a 16, ta x

and you too.... 9.5lbs in 3 weeks.. go you :D

me too....i just wanna see 15 anything...even if its 15.13 1/2!!! i started at 18.1 back on 4th July, i never wanna see 18 anything again..

well done u :D

hi there toby, i am also an Extra Easy gal! i love it, cause i love my meat and potatoes, so its working well for me...so far so good!! i started class on the 4th July and IMO class is essential..or should i say...in my case...i could not do it without the support of the class, and i have...

good for you ;) i still cant get my head round how it all works....it works and thats the main thing!! like you do the exact same thing...week in...week out...and some weeks you shift a pound...the next week its 3 or 4 pound! its a mystery...but it works!! onwards and upwards for next...

well i walked the legs of myself...but i also did a few wee tricks like....cut the batter off my cod, so only the chips were syns....lifted the top of the bap off the burger.....had lots of boiled rice and only a few chips with my curry... tho i know myself...i could not get away with eating...

i had 3 days in Edinburgh, 3 in Glasgow, did a LOT of walking, up to the castle, around the town, etc... did a HELL of a LOT of eating and drinking tho... hopefully i dont pay the price at the next weigh in :eek: it didnt rain on us at all....tho from ireland...we are well used to...

thanks, and as of today i am gonna take 3 Xen a day, so lets see does that help at all, ;)

love the quote.....thanks for that. As i am a newbie...i find i need the group all the time...just not desciplined enough to go it alone yet...maybe never will be...but i dont mind if i always need the group.

well good luck....and you never know...5lbs was my biggest loss to date...(see sig) and it was the week after my holiday week....so defo unexpected and out of the blue!!! in fact i am stunned i had such a loss...was expecting a 1 - 2lb gain! good luck x;)

thanks...was quite unexpected too...especially after holiday week...chips, burgers, curry, alcohol, etc...etc..list was endless....i think all the walking i did round scotland must have saved the day ;):D

5lb off for me...:D delighted....was holiday week last week...so i was shocked and delighted!

i find they work very well!

i lost :D:D:D:D:D 5lbs!!! yipee... must have been all the walking....cause i ate like a horse....and drank like a fish!!!

still here....lost 5lbs last nite...:D...so at 16.5lbs...will be here for a few weeks yet!

as of today i am going to try it 3 times a day, no, fruit and yoghurt are my Slimming World breakfasts, before i would have had toast, or a (sugar filled) cereal.

thanks...well i am a newbie myself....just started SW on 4th July, so only had 8 weigh ins, but what i try and do is eat Syn free all day...and save my syns for night time when i have a bag of weight watchers crisps or a curly wurly.... ;) i exercise (by form of walking) every day, regardless...

me too....i must be doing something right..5lbs this week...:D

lost 5lbs at last nights weigh in...:D:D:D:D:D dont ask me how...after holiday week....burgers and chips, fish and chips, fry ups, currys.... had to be all the walking!!! delighted anyways....24lbs in 8 weeks..:D

The caramel snack-a-jacks are a very good sub.for popcorn ;)

i have my weigh in at 5pm, last week was a holiday week (in Scotland for a week....far to much to eat and drink!!! :break_diet:) so i am expecting a gain tonite tho i am back on the wagon since i come back (Thursday) on the up side...i got SOTM for August...even with the holiday week...

thanks....as of tomorrow...im on 3 a day then ;)

i usually only take one a day cause for breakfast and lunch i try and stick to fruit, yoghurt, porridge etc. i take one with my main meal, potatoes, meat, veg, etc.. am i doing the right thing...my GP told me there was no need to take a tablet with a meal of fruit

i only follow EE with SW...most Fish is free there...tho i dont like it...(only like the "bad fish"....from the chip shop!!) and i dont take cheese...my HE is always milk tho i never take the full quota... i am sure i will get there...somehow..someday ;) i think the Xen is keeping me on the...

cant wait til weigh in tonite.....not cause i am expecting a big loss ot anything....but i had booked a holiday week for last monday....was in scotland for a week....and i cant wait to get weighed...and start over with a clean slate....i was good in some ways....walking, fruit, etc....but very...

this is so very true!!

hi there i have been at slimming world 7 weeks now, the first 6 i managed to loose 18lbs, and then last week i stared Xenical and only lost 1lb this week.....i would have thought / hoped that by using Xenical i could have boosted my looses from 2 / 3 to 3/4 hopefully... i followed both...

i feel your pain...:( I am at slimming world also, and for the past 6 weeks i have been happy with my weight loss...and then this week (my first week doing both SW and Xenical) i only lost one lb...i was disappointed too.....if i was loosing 2 / 3 alone, i would have hoped to loose 3 / 4 with...

just fantastic:D

ahh cheers :)...i have never tried that little dish now....but any idea how many syns....in case i do...;)

i was a wee bit miffed this week as i just lost 1lb...i had done everything the same as the previous weeks...and last tuesday my GP put me on Xenical...so i was really hoping for a better result, but i will stick with it for sure, ;)

there is 3 different syns values listed for Quavers, cause theres the small bag (the multi pack size) then the regular bag size you buy as a single pack, and then a larger bag, hth;)

yeah, 2.5 syns, i dont like them....what a shame...cause they are a lot more filling that jaffa cakes for 2.5 syns also

will have to have a rethink now... its just hard to get your head round food that is usually "free"....eg potatoes, steak, etc...is so very high...while i wanna enjoy myself and enjoy some nice food...i dont wanna put on half a stone either...;)

but its "free" on SW EE plan?:confused: have i missed something...? (i am a bit slow on the uptake:D) 28-day-matured 10oz Rib eye with Chips, Peas, Tomato and a Flat Mushroom 1350kcal GF even this seems so very high.....

I am going to Scotland for a week on Thursday...so i will let you all know what damage the beer (and food!!) does when i get back!! :break_diet:

Sorry, table didnt copy so well 175% your GDA for Saturated fat....:break_diet::eek:

and more protein and fat than GDA...omg..look at the %GDA of sat fat....holy moley....and you would think steak, jacket spuds and salad would b a slimmers champion... 28-day-matured 10oz Rib eye with Jacket Potato and Butter and Dressed Salad 1386kcal GF NutritionEnergy (kcal)Protein...

according to the JDs website.....the above has a whopping 1386 calories in the above... i just cant figure out how..

can anyone help....i am heading to Scotland on Thursday for a week...and i was flicking thru the SW Food directory....thinking about where and what i might eat... i was thinking...sure i could have steak and jacket potato....(free on EE)...but when i checked the wetherspoons section..i was...

just lost the 1lb this week....so here for another while yet at 16.10;)

lost 1lb at WI last nite, was a wee bit miffed, as i had done the same thing as every other week before.....stuck to the plan...12 hrs of body magic....and my GP put me on Xenical last week....so i had hoped for a better result....ahh well....will keep going. ;)

Me too....got the 6 weeks and got nowt:cry:

i have only had one weekend out since i started SW, and i stopped counting the syns at 40 that nite, and still managed to loose 2lbs,

not sure where in Co Armagh you are, (maybe you posted it...and i just didnt see it...sorry if so) but theres a butchers in Newry, McIlroys....does a great range...meat balls, sausages, burgers, chicken burgers, chops, steak pieces etc... Famished now...:D

i usually poach them...but i will try the fry lite / poach the next time

sounds lovely!:)

Thanks...:D long way to go yet...but i will get there.. all the tips and advice on here really do help!!

no...god i never starve myself before WI...i would pass out in work..:D i do eat normal...just like every other day...syn free all day...with my healthy extras....and then WI...and then home for dinner.. i do wear the same clothes tho...:D

im sure you will get it at your next WI ;)

OMG...Inspiring....well done you, how fantastic :)

throw them away!! :) really...hopping on and off them more often than once a week is no good... u get false hope....and major letdowns.. once a week is enough

i wear the same clothes every week too! then when i get to the scales...shoes off...slippers on..:)

ohhh the caramel snack a jacks are lovely :D like a bag of toffee popcorn!!

what about Polly Pineapple...anyone know?

yeah, i also like the idea of "sticker at a time" so that leaves me 3lb off my 1.5 stones sticker, so thats my next goal, and then 5 more after that for my club ten... and then 2 more after that for my 2 stone... so i will just keep going like that.. nice one...sticker at a time..thanks for...

thats what a few always say at the class i go to.."lets just chip away at the next stone" i think when your like myself...and the reality of it is you have 6 / 8 stone to loose...its hard to imagine that...its almost scary...but if you can just concentrate on the next stone it makes it so much...

weight watcher hoops (like hula hoops) salt and vinegar...3.5 syns and WW crinkle cuts, roast chicken (yum!!) and ready salted, both 4 syns all in Poundworld at 4 for £1:D

you can do it!!! 6 weeks ago i was in the 18's....as of WI late nite...i am now in the 16 to 15...if i can...anyone can ;)

i do syn mine as 6 as we share the portion, then the rice is free, and then 6 for the chips, as i have about 1/3 a portion, hth

yipee...lost 3.5lbs this week...grand total of 18lb in 6 weeks :)

i am the same...tho only at SW 6 weeks now (and 18lbs lighter) i dont ever get hungry...and never feel like i am on a diet..i never felt better :D

can i join... i lost 3.5lbs this week.:) that takes me to 16.11 so i will be here for a while

i did it...i lost 3.5lbs last nite...so 16 / 15 here i come :)

lost 3.5lbs this week :) delighted, thats 18 in 6 weeks

i also managed to loose more my 2nd week than the first week...it really spurred me on for week 3...:)

i never feel different, tho i have only been at SW for 5 weeks, well 6 on Monday, and tho i have lost 14.5lbs in the 5 weeks, i do start wondering on Friday or Sat....have i done enough to loose anything... i can feel my clothes looser..but i can never tell if i lost anything..i thought it...

i do WI on Mondays at class...but usually come Friday or Sat...i do start to think...did i do enough to loose anything....was i good enough...did i exercise enough... :o anyone else ever think like that....or just me..:sigh:

i hope to, i have a holiday week on Monday 29th Aug:break_diet: (holiday thurs 25th - wed 31 aug) so i am hoping to not do too much damage over the week...i may be good Mon - Wed, and then again Thurs - Mon, to see if i can even STS...;) But then i will have to get stuck right back in again!

:D I WISH!:) I imagine that it will slow down a bit now...tho i would like to have it before September is out.

fantastic...well done...take a bow!!:) you should be so very proud!!!
