Is it really only me & WWB that are d & e ? I don't believe it.

But then, maybe running after kids all day is good exercise. I'm sure desk jobs make you fat! (Well they don't - it's all the biscuits you eat at work plus being completey sedentary all day).

Is that what you're hoping the survey will prove?

Flum - only problem I have with the theory about losing weight at home is that I eat when I'm bored and I get bored being at home with baby. (She's gorgeus but not much on conversation).

So, the only time I don't snack is if I'm in meetings all day. If left alone (at work or home) then my hand is in the biscuit tin off & on all day.
Only other solution is to ban sweet/snack food from the house - it's the only way (speaking personally) to do it if you have a sweet tooth and the oportunity to indulge it!

Good luck though
