It had really surprised me too. I've gone from a small 18 to a size 13 in a couple of months and it took til now to notice!
Thanks for your kind words, it hasn't exactly been hard work but it has taken dedication and will power and sheer determination. We've both done so well.
Having bigged myself up, I must now report that just now I ate a packet of ham! I was ravenous, and it's yet another thing that I'm going to blame on flo ( or rather elusive flo!).
Have just ground some coffee beans, they smelled gorgeous. Ooh, it does taste very, very nice. The flavour is very different, it's of sufficient strength, but softer and really easy to drink. Yum.
