I just want to say a huge thanks to all you lovely people who gave me tips for our trip. I did put on 10lbs but it was all worth it!!! New York was fabulous but I am so very much in love with Boston, even more now my partner proposed to me on the sunday at 7am (because our body clocks were in a mess) in the public park…

Elisabeisme, that was brilliant. Thank you. I don't think of myself a worried eater, but tend to shy from asking the questions. There is a lot of reassuring information there that makes me feel confident that I can order without feeling obliged or under pressure.

That is good to know. Something we are lacking in the UK.

This is all so great, thank you. Making a number of notes :D

Haha, love it!

Thanks for this advice. Feel less panic-stricken. Get a good breakfast in, avoid grabbing something for the sake of it. Walk, walk, walk :) That is a really helpful point about being served 2 portions of everything, that puts things into perspective for me. l will keep a close eye on the sauces. Not a big one for sauces…

We are going to 2 games at Fenway and I am well rehearsed for Sweet Caroline. What happens at the end?!? No, don't tell me ;) very excited!

Dragonnade, I am well jels you are off to the Oval for the SA match! Yeah, think I would write them off too ;)

Love it!

Gail, yes I will be there. Very excited indeed. Me the Mr and a gang of lads so I know where you are coming from with the food temptation. Fingers crossed for the weather!!! :)

Thanks for the super tips everyone :) doing the food shop tonight so will stock up on the chicken recipes! Beating those meat snacks off with a stick! Chicken drumstick (I'll get my coat!)
