    Well done Rachie and Tinkerbelluk!!!!!

    Off on holiday tomorrow - so the challenge begins.

    Have posted a couple of red day recipes on the OS board that I put together last night.

    Will catch up with every one next Thursday. Hope everyone has a great week. :D

    Had my first SW class this morning - so hopefully I should be looking thin by now! I'm about to sit myself down with a cup of coffee (no biscuits) and read the pack they have given me.

    The people at SW were very helpful. I was horrified to see that I weigh half a stone more than I thought, so must start diet immediately!! :mad:

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm new to forums and new to SW but started doing the diet last week after reading the magazine and can't go to the meetings. I seem to be eating really a lot of food but I keep checking and I think it's all free or healthy extras. Will I really lose weight eating this lot?? I really want to lose about a stone before the end of May - is that totally unrealistic ? Any tips would be welcome - I'm going to try that chickpea cake! :)
