    good evening everyone,
    15 please Shaggy
    Fatrab    I can endorse what Maman has to say re SW I have been at target for a couple of years and once you get used to the plan it will work. Whatever plan you follow it will be good for your health.

    MamanCongratulations on your wedding anniversary.

    Evening all, just checking in to hope everyone is doing okay. Some of the same old faces. I've recently gone 3 years now without a drink. Nearly did on holiday and if I do I won't beat myself up about it, but given I've got into Crossfit and eating with a proper routine (and hence gone from 17 stone to 12.5 this year) I think I'm sticking with it.

    Hope everyone is well. Best wishes!
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?
