    The Wendy plan is a manipulation of the weightwatchers points system so you have a super high nosh out day and a super low starve yourself day, in the course of the week......supposed to keep your metabolism on its toes, so helping you lose weight :D

    Ahhh thanks!! Now I understand, so your body does not get used to the same old same old every day!!

    Great idea too, as can have a bit more at the weekend and then be extra strict on a borring monday!!

    Exactly, chops! Works well if you like to have a takeaway on a Saturday, or Roast with all the trimmings, plus pud on a Sunday.

    Hi Hypno,

    I'm coming out of lurkdom to say that I too am interested in a matched betting workshop.
    I've read it and read it and opened all the pages and get it in theory until the moment comes and then it all deserts me.

    Think I need to see it in action .

    Were you thinking of an online workshop or are we all piling round to your new office - No idea what county you're in even,so just registering an interest at this stage.

    Sorry, lousy painting skills but can make tea and bring cakes or ww/sw alternatives.
