Oh I was wandering about tea too but I dont have alot of milk anyway so cutting out altogether should not be difficult. I have ordered Hannah Watermans Body Blitz DVD to get me started, as I hear you can do it in 10 minute bursts which I think will be handy.

I sent an email this morning to Exante reagrding the above and had an email back within 20 minutes telling me they would look in to it and then one back an hour after the original email advigin me of the outcome, which is I should receive my pack today :) I cant believe how quick and effecient...

I watched this last night and well at first I laughed but as the programme looked deeper and deeper into her life I wasnted to cry. Her life must be pretty shallow if that is all the aspires too. I really felt sorry for her at the end after yet more surgery and she was crying and the camers...

Thanks love after popping the thread on found the dessert sticky! Very happy. TY

Evening Ladies Just a very quick question, what do you all have for dessert. Now I dont have one every night but I do like them every now and again. I have mullers through the day and fruit but any other ideas would be fab!! I have quite a sweet tooth although I do like savoury stuff too...

Thanks ladies. I have been in work so unable to reply but am able to read the messages. I have come to a conclusion from all your lovely msgs. I am picking myself up, dusting myself off and starting again. I am going to put behind me what I have and have not done and starting a fresh. I...

Flying saucers are 1 syn per 4 sweets but cant find them for love nor money - If anyone has seen them please let me know - Bet Wolies would have had em! grrrrr

I am sure you could because if you pay at one consultant if you could not get to your normal class you dont have to pay a week back - if you get me, so cant see why it could not be transferred. Afterall the reason for the countdowns is to keep you encouraged to keep going! I would phone new...

Well done you love - No idea of the syns in beer as I am not a drinker, but the pizza def deserved a round of applause!!!! Wooooohooooo - Thats it I think officially a convert if you can resist pizza!!! haha

Hi Bev Definatly GO GO GO. I am one of these people who never did PE in school and mention exercise and I would walk the otherway I hate(d) exercise, but this was fab. I worked up a sweat but because you were in the pool no one noticed!!! I got a bit flustererd and face went red at times...

Oh I should have also said that any one whol looks with disaproving eyes are not worth it and if one of the cocky ones say anything just tell them that at least you are doing something to help your weight unfortulnatly it looks like their personality problems are there to stay!!! At the gym...

I went last night and it was pretty dead in the pool to be honest. Look to see if your local pool has adult only times as this is when you will find a lot of the hardy swimmers go so not to be interupted and like PP says there too busy working on theor own ego/swimming techniques to notice the...

Good Morning Ladies and Gents Well tonight will be my 3rd weigh in and I have TOTM but have been doing alot more exercise than the prev 2 weeks, please see my food diary as o there it says what I have and have not been doing. Anyway I am at wok all day and then straight to the gym...

Nope! No mistake I had mine through and not quite as good as yours but im number 15!!!! Its wicked!!!

Welcome to the boards Jo I understand what you mean about being in the right frame of mind this time. I used to think I could losse my excess weight just by dieting alone. I now know that I must exercise and well although its not the nest at the moment using my wii fit and doing a minimum of...

I go to class and stay it takes me 20 mins to get there when DH drives me, or 45 mins on the train so pointless if I dont stay! I like it too gives me the boost to keep going, love this forum too and although not too much of an active poster def a lurker!

My DH tends to do a "radical" diet like now he is doing Atkins and will loose loads however the moment he comes off it he puts it back on! Although he would stay on it forever if he could but I dont think its so great for the health long term. He def finds it easier to loose weight it drops...

Good Luck Lucy i am sure you will be fine though sweetie

What do you have it with or in?

I was thinking of anyone says anything that at least I am here doing something about it!!! I dont know if I am being too optomistic with what i wanna do, but 2 classes a week and swimming twice i dont think that its too bad. I know that once I get into the routine of going it will be fine...

Well hubby is also a big guy and following his own diet plan, he has been down to the leisure centre this morning and has signed us up to the gym/swimming pool/classes. I am not wasting £30 a month on nothing so I am going! Feel a bit self concious but really wanna do the legs, bums and tums...
