    It can't be that bad - since you're on it.

    For my surname on fb, I used the contraction that my nephews use - too many clients on there knowing me, otherwise! In 3.5 weeks, I won't have that problem :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    About 3 stone.
    I had lost it all & then put part of it back on so would need to look through my books to be sure. Overall I have lost over a stone since I got really on it again.
    My problem is keeping it off.

    Well done Beanie :) I agree that it's harder to keep the weight off once lost than to lose it in the first place.

    Boo to breaking the Pandora bracelet :( I have a Thomas Sabo one which I only wear at the weekend as it's not really the best thing to wear when you're on a computer all day, clanking on the keyboard.
