It has to be experienced yes, it's a great country full of great people! We're very very lucky!!!

 

[millo]

Lol, thought id give it a go to see if it works.

Has anyone found syn free yogs, pasta n sauce and ff cottage cheese anywhere. Cant find any fat free stuff here ggrrrrr no wonder ive put so much weight on (although the cheap wine hasnt helped)

In woolies they do extra light ricotta cheese, very lovely mixed in sauces etc.

As for living here, it's been really good, but with every country, lots of pros and cons, just depends what you're looking for in life xx

Hello

Go to Weight Loss - Diet Ticker and follow the instructions there and from memory when you've finished there will be a code for you to copy and paste. Come back to minimins and go to User CP and then Edit signature and paste it in there. Bob's your uncle! - actually he was my uncle, but there you go! :8855:

Glad to see SW is working for you!

On the subject of constipation, I've only ever had trouble for the first week or so I do the plan and then my system adjusts. You've only just gone back on plan, so hopefully you'll adjust to it all again soon!

 

[jen1977ni]

Ah ok, cool. Well last week I wasn't having both of my HEb's so that might've been a problem! On the right track this week though, I think lol
