    It is all about slavery; it was a mini series in the 70's (i think)!! Incredible and very thought provoking. Like Jan says, have a read up on it! It was Tunc that mentioned Kunta Kinte the other day and it got me thinking, so decided we needed some new dvd's to watch as we are not for watching...

    yes, looks good Tanya, but I would have a few nuts and dried fruit maybe..only because you are cutting out carbs on meals I feel you may feel a wee bit hungry and then pick, which you dont want.

    Weigh in Number 8.

    Well done Bev...2lbs is great esp on ToTM and with you not doing much exercise when you are used to it! But, as always as strong as an ox and getting that weight down as quickly as possible...8 weeks, it will go in so fast! Just in time for a nice September with your nice skimpy clothes :)

    WAW...that is self restraint for sure Irish! I reckon it can be done...maybe I just make excuses, although I didnt miss carbs when I was on TFR so why should I now :D But cutting them out and having a fear is two different things and i had a fear so I suppose I dont want to cut them out...
