WOW you guys are fantastic and doing a marathon, that is even more inspiring,way to go girls.

Yes Debbie the weight loss can be unkind to the face, i have not lost enough yet for that to happen, and i have not got too much too loose ,but i have remained at a level i am not happy with since my daughter's birth 15 years ago, it took me ten after the first child to get slim, so i am really gonna have to do it this time,and stay there.

I must tell you all i have given up chocolate, and i loved the stuff, I never pigged out on it ,but it was always my choice of treats,now i just have low fat ice cream as my only treat and sometimes it is chocolate so that keeps the cravings away, I am not saying never a bar shall pass my lips again, but for now i am staying away, my stomach problems have prompted this choice and in the long run it is good for me all round,infact sometimes i wonder, my diet is so low fat if indeed i am getting enough, as we all need so much to be well.

Keep at it everyone, we all have different challenges and things that make the weight loss more difficult,but we are all in the same boat,so come on guys row row row the boat gently down the stream and merrily, merrily merrily life will be a dream lol.

p.s It is so great to be amongst so many fellow weightwatchers, i don't go to meetings, and do it at home, so i need that little bit of extra support,has anyone tried the berry mudslide ice cream, so yummy, rather rich, but certainly takes care of my choco cravings,our range is lot more limited down here, even oz have such a better range, but slowly we are getting some of the cakes, bakewell cherry tarts, yum ,yum,but only certain supermarkets sell the newer range, i can imagine in the states the choice would be so great.,when you are so good you need these little treats for sure.
