  • What a great success! You must be very proud.....way to go! You look really amazing.
  • Thanks, I'm really excited. I've always wanted to visit and now have my 'dream trip' one week away. I'm ready for some warm weather :happy:
  • These are all great suggestions. Thanks everyone and I'll heed the advice of keeping away from dairy, meats, peeled fruit and veg etc. I'm really looking forward to it!!
  • I'd go back to your doctor. If it isn't your bc (as suggested above with the hormones) you may want to discuss having an ultrasound scan.

  • Being in the UK, I sooo miss IHOP. ENJOY! If you can, save up cals over the day and/or do extra exercise to maybe have a treat! Enjoy for us expats missing out ;o)...
  • I just joined too...what is the food log idea? How do you see other's food logs?
  • I've found that the best way is to just keep a colourful water bottle with you at all times. It just gets to be a habit of having it with you. You can buy a really pretty one that will help you feel good about it ;o).
