    BB - I find that the butterscotch flavour does give you "just enough" of a reminder of the school pudding - let me know what you think! ;)Grannynise, how many cals in a serving of the real thing? Or is that a closely guarded secret too? I'd love to know :p

    Had to look up who my team (Austria) is playing next, and it's Poland on Thursday. I think that's Beanielou? Hehehe. Beanie - there's an easy win for you :rotfl:

    Tomorrow's menus all planned out, I'm quite stunned at how much I've managed to crowbar onto the list for my 1200 cals! It'll be a good day!

    Isn't this weather just gorgeous :j

    Oh my god, totally didnt imagine you to look like that! I had this image of a brighton hippy for some reason haha.

    You look soooooooooooo good in the after photo!! What a rab transformation. Look very healthy looking and motherly.

    How exciting! :D

    thanks for showing your pic BB. Bikini shot next yea? :p

    Yay new pics! :D Thanks BB! There's even one that's targeted at me :rotfl: I'm touched!

    I think your weight loss makes you look younger as well BB. You seem more relaxed in the second pic too, shoulders less tense - and looking at the camera completely face on. The teal colour dress really suits you by the way!

    As for the sailing pic, that is FAB, you look like a total pro there! Whereabouts was that taken? Activity shots are definitely the way to go, I think in honour of Raph and BB we should all post our best ones up :D

    You can't see my tiedye jeans in this pic then:rotfl: And motherly... MMmmmm, not sure what to make of that one:D . And by a 'rab transformation', do you mean I look like rab.c. nesbitt in the before or after shot:rotfl:?
    missyg -I'm no sure if my shoulders look less tense in the 2nd one as I'm in the presence of OH's mother in the first:rotfl: . More likely though I hated the way I look and really didn't want my photo taken (we've all been there I know) but felt obliged to agree. Action shot taken in Chichester Harbour: I'm helming my parents boat.

    Sorry Vix but it's still a No, I was wearing a white top not that you could see it. Could you have been thinking of Bright Belle ^^^ She was in a purpley top? If not then I think it must have been Grannynise :confused: ...

    ...BB What a fabulous transformation :j these pics really are excellent examples of just how to inspire other folk on here...

    ...Nice to see you back here again;) Bindiboo:j I think that it's an excellent idea to go straight back on the chart, you did so well last year :D ...

    ...Whenever I hear about World of Warcraft I immediately think of the South Park episode :D

    ...Welcome to some more new folk, you've made a good choice by joining. Play your cards right and you'll get on very well here, there have been some excellent success stories...
    I wish that I could be the oldest AND wisest....sadly it's not the latter :p but my time will come _party_ wooooh hoooh! Beware!!!!!!!
