    Do you struggle to see it yourself?

    That made me chuckle lonestitcher ! I think its really interesting that you allow yourself to feel normal with people who never knew you when you were bigger. I suppose in the natural order of things these people will grow in number(,whilst of course still keeping the lovely supportive...

    Best Holiday You've Been On?

    New York is the most exciting place I have visited. Went for the first time at christmas. Its just how you think it will be (from every film you have ever watched) but better!

    Friendship advice....

    I agree with Donna Jez and Korrigan, You obviously really miss your friend and would like her to be a part of your life again. You are admirably honest in acknowledging your suspected reasons for her not wanting to see you and that, I think, is crucial if you want to persuade her to be...

    Culinary Flops!!

    I havent found a sw cake recipe that doesn't taste of omlette! But then again when the ingredients are half a dozen eggs and artificial sweetner with little else in the mix, its a bit rich to expect it to taste like one granny made. Oh how desperation decieves the dieter

    Kingleds Food Diary - help needed!

    Hi Kingleds, You mention rice in a flask. I was thinking about doing this with spag bo.l and chilli and rice. Does the rice stay the same as when you put it in ? I have been reluctant as I thought it would continue cooking and go mommy. Which brand of flask do you use ? Cheers Jilly

    How have your taste buds changed since starting slimmers world?
