Thank you for the warm welcome!
Today was day seven and I've lost a total of 7 pounds! I'm really excited about this!
Tonight however I went off the plan - it was the company Christmas party. I will be straight back on it tomorrow.

Alto - you're right - I do have dieting bruises. Probably we all do.
I took your advice and looked at some journals and started my own too. The info on this site is amazing. I can even practice my french here! I'm so pleased to have found this site!

Atriana - Thank you for the invitation to ask questions. I'm always nervous of asking questions because some sites get a bit antsy when newbies ask without first looking. I have had a pretty good look around and found answers to most questions I initially had. I'm sure more questions will come up!

Thanks a bunch!
