    True, I can't see calories listed anywhere on the label so that means it's calorie free ;)

    It's so fattening even the bottle has gone rotund...

    Its Ok for you lot - at least you had the baby as an excuse! I was just plain fat! Started last March 15 stone 10 and at only 5 ft tall thats VAST (size 24!!). I lost loads with lighterlife (bad for debtbusting as it costs 66 a week & I dropped 12 wardrobes of clothes in 6 months!!) but Christmas & no excercise has put a stone on & I am DETERMINED not to put it on again! Would also like to get to the stage where I cant pick my tummy up!! When I am debt free am also going to have a boob job & this is something I am 100% sure of!
    I definately think that if this challenge goes pete tong a tummy tuck is going to be in order.. that and a boob job!! lol!

    Good idea Buffy. You sound like me- I used to have a fab figure- size 10-12 with great boobs and a small waist. Now my size 14s are too small and my work clothes are all uncomfortable except for one pair of trousers which I am completely sick of wearing.

    What's our weigh day going to be then?

    Rubbish excuse Skinty :rotfl:

    I've still got an unopened bottle. How long will it last if I dont open it :confused:

    It should last for ages if it's not open, can't give an exact date though but mine says 10 2008.

    What's our weigh day going to be then?

    DH and I were talking this afternoon about weighing in tomorrow, to see how much damage Christmas has done to our diet efforts over the past few months.

    The results of tomorrow will be my starting weight for this challenge, if that's OK :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    In that case, I'm going to save the unopened bottle for a treat later in the year, maybe my birthday :D

    What is Tao Bo Buffy :confused:


    You see that would imply that I had actually done the video.....:o

    its basically a kind of Martial Art, it is very good for building strength and fitness, this is the blokey who does it.

    Oh,can I join too, please IA? Have already told the OSers that I WILL have lost a stone and a half by June (a few summer weddings to go to next year!) and think this would help keep me on target...no tape measure/scales to hand, but will add stats to my sig as soon as I have tracked them down!
