Thank you for all your replies, i have taken on board what has been said, i have had a great day, 1st i lost four and a half pounds at my weigh in and ive had some chocies, crisps and lovely pizza and garlic bread for tea and later i will be having a couple of brandys! Anyway i feel totally satisfied and ready for the week ahead, i never feel hungry during the week or deprived as there is sooo much free food on offer so believe me i dont feel deprived. Next friday will be the test anyway and if ive lost a couple of pounds fantastic i will stick to what im doing, but if ive lost none i will follow the diet properly, i will let you know how i do
