    Thanks Bails :) I take all the losses and gains in my stride now, I know that's how it's going to be and I completely accept it.

    I have decided to raise my "upper" BMI limit back to 21. I have not been having much joy staying under 20.5 so I think this is too low for me. Hopefully I will be able to stay under 21 at all times, even with huge massive holiday gain weeks :D

    Have munched my way through 976 calories today which I know is too low but I felt like a "kick start" day was needed after last week's excesses. Will try to stick to 1200 for the rest of the week and exercise every day except Sunday.

    Wendy I posted your dvd on the way back from tennis so I hope you get that OK!

    Can plse ask a quick q?
    When I use the cross trainer at the gym I get a wee bit of pain up my calfs & find it very hard to do more than 2 mins.
    Its been suggested this happens because I cant put my heels fully down.
    Does this sound about right?

    Was at a birthday party & I have eaten a few naughty things.Ooops.
    Well as Ive always said life does sometimes get in the way!

    Beanie, once again sorry for missing your post. Most cross trainers I know of allow you to adjust the slope that you use?? Is it not possible to adjust yours to be a little more horizontal? On the ones in my gym its the resistance level that adjusts the slope? Failing that check with an instructor? The only other thought I have is you cant fully put your heel down is that your calves are tight and not fully stretched? A simple calf stretch may help. I googled THIS It might be of some help?? Again check with the instructor?

    Hope this helps

    missyg thanks will let you know when it arrives still suffering from bad back after attempting sit ups so will have to go steady for a while tagz no maltese connections unless you count present addiction to fun size maltesers[no joke am down to 1 pkt a day]can't live without choccy fix.As for chocolate brownie I totaly understand as I too have been attacked in a similer way,and by a desert,in my case it was strawberry gateaux and cream the details are very messy so I would rather not go into them but you were lucky it attacked me 3 times [yes 3] suffice to say I was rather ill after my attack, but I blame old timers disease I forgot I was on a diet
