Hi D
Thanks for the reply, I wouldn't say your reply was of no use, even for the fact that we know someone else is out there is of use, it shows that support is at hand.
Its funny what you say about Slimming Magazine Slimming Clubs because I was trying to find their web site on a search engine and I found a piece posted by, I think a woman who was a leader. She was saying that her room had not been paid for by SM for so many weeks and that they were in trouble financially.
Now bearing that in mind, about the same time last year that the article refers to I subscribed to the mag and the isuess got slower and slower, in the end I cancelled my subscription as I was sick of chasing them. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I think WW has seen everyone off... looking at it, the RC clubs and SCM in my area have gone.. I think I will have to succumb, in fact I have got out all the slurge from the last time I went to WW and will start from in the morning. It is much easier than working calories out though. The problem with WW is that they do not stipulate portion sizes, so I'm going to keep them very low if I can) and you are quite right I would pay a fortune to be slim, unfortunately even that wouldn't work.
