I've started on my fish oil supplements and vit sups…

don't let others hold you back!

Interesting and helpful youtube videos!

I wonder if anyone else has this problem. Basically had my lunch at work - nice and healthy and I was happy and satisfied with it. Then I had to clear up after a meeting and there was basically trays of food left which I had to take back to the office to share. Now even though I was already full from my lunch I still had 3…

Will do the first couple of sessions…

Howdi folks!
Hi All, I decided to join up after some people at work read an article and sent it on to me. I've tried Slimming World, not eating, SlimFast and still no change - then a family member landed a surprise wedding on the family which gives me 2 months to shape up! This site is brilliant, and it really makes you think twice…
