5 AFD's please shaggy and 4 for the SNC please bearacus.
Well done for ignoring those pesky bells candygirl
Hope you feel better soon Mackeroo.
Shaggy - 6lbs is great...that's nearly half a stone = half a dress size :T.
Topaz -it took me a week or two after joining this thread before I managed my first AFD- I finally got started by replacing my glass of Bacardi with a chilled tonic water, ice and a slice.....I felt great in the morning and that was motivation enough to make me try another. I still have a drink at the weekend but drinking in the week is almost a thing of the past. Just try and get that first AFD under your belt and then take it one day at a time.

ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
