    Tattoos - yes or no?

    my tattooist has a cream he gives to people who have a low pain threshold, you rub it into the area that is to be tattooed a couple of hours before and this stops the pain. I will get the name off him and post to you later stoo x

    Are slow losses normal on Slimming World

    agree with the feedback, I have averaged about 1lb per week, but have lost loads of inches, new cloths are now required and people have commented on the new look, nothing drastic so I dont look drawn and ill, just healthy
