    Aw red heart, so sorry to hear you are feeling so low. Don't beat yourself up because in actual fact, for a cheat, it was an incredibly restrained one! You are in this for the long term, and none of us are perfect so we are certain to have bad days along the way. The important thing is not...

    Yes thanks, much better! Saturday I was just wiped out and couldn't get out of my bed. More energy today. Just left with a tickly cough. Blame it all on my eldest who is a nursery nurse and brings home all the germs known to man :rolleyes: French Dijon is gorgeous. A bit hot for the kids...

    Well done for starting a diary - it all helps! Just a couple of little points I noticed. Agree with Mirjam re the mince. Try to get extra lean mince rather than just lean, as it does contain too much fat. Also, watch the WW yogurts. They contain 6.3g carbs which can mount up and might cause...

    October, it sounds like you have really thought about this seriously and I can't give you any advice as am not a long term Dukaneer. Just wanted to wish you well in whatever you decide to do and hope you will stick around on the boards.
