    Will have to do it when I get home as I'm 'working' and while I can get away with typing/staring at the screen getting my cc out might be a bit of a giveaway :rotfl:

    Added myself to the list anyway :D
    Have weighed myself and my weight seems to have 'stagnated' as I'm neither really going up or down, think I need some motivation :)
    I've never signed up to anything like this so am hoping it works, I need to lose the baby weight I gained from DS1 (who's a teenager :D )
    I've made a good start by myself and I'm not sure I'll be able to manage 5:2 with my weird working hours but I'm gonna try my hardest :)
    Will be interesting to see the combined elite weightloss by Christmas :j

    can someone link to the original post please....looks like a diet thing- i would love to join in too........well actually no i wouldnt love to join in BUT i NEED to !!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    It's the 5:2 diet first mentioned by mimi and QoC (I think :o) - (very) basically for 2 days a week you only have 500 calories and eat what you want the other 5 days. FunkyFeet posted a very helpful post on it here

    Yes, unfortunately Ts now compare reduced items on the PP. I find it best to put whoopsies through on a seperate shop HTH
