    Ditto me yesterday:eek: I'm 6 pounds over my previous "lowest" weight - too many BBQs!!!

    New diet started today......so far so good....


    My diet started yesterday with a fast day but since my work arrangements have changed since I did the 5:2 diet successfully last time I am not sure if I will switch to Slimming World and bite the bullet and sign up for 3 months.

    As well as going to the gym tonight, I have managed to stay AF, which is a first in 3 weeks for a Tuesday so now at 6/18.

    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    I'm trying to convince myself that my lack of AFDs is justified, but honestly, I've been bottling up home-made fruit liqueurs (for Crimble pressies, I hope) and obviously they each need to be taste tested to ensure quality control. Some have turned out more successfully than others - rhubarb vodka is a hit folks!

    I promise it's only been teaspoonfuls :D

    If you mean to join online: I've not heard any good reports at all. I'd suggest you find a local group and even if you just go once to get the books and explanatory talk it'll be £10 (or£5 with a voucher) well spent. There's a good thread on here for support.


    Target day for me today but that's just my bottom line. I intend to have a few more AFDs before the month's out.:)


    10 AFDs please Shaggy.
