My friend has just booked a cottage for her thirtieth, with a swimming pool and sauna, she wants us all to stay for the weekend. How can i loose a stone, banish all cellulite and get away with wearing a nice costume. I have refused to go swimming for about three years. I can't think of anything worse than sipping cocktails next to my male friends with us all half naked.

eek! Not sure how you feel about sunbeds? As a tan always makes you look SO much better than white skin in a bather IMO

You could lose easily half a stone in that time, maybe more if your good

Concentrate on getting your skin in really good condition too - exfoliating and moisturising regularly

Buy a costume to best compliment your features - for example if you have great boobs buy one that will look good on your boobs but maybe cover up a wobbly belly etc

Thanks Becca ,I'm not really into sunbeds but it wouldn't matter for a month would it? Do they work in that time? So what do yo wear if your boobs are alright but you'd rather not show your bum
I will scrub everyday

Put a wrap/t-shirt or similar on as soon as you get out of the pool. When you're in it keep moving, so that no-ine gets a good look at you bum - swim on your back!

I meant of course YOUR bum not YOU BUM !

I'm going to loose a stone once and for all and then i will be fine. Nothing but nothing will make me as much as a party like this, maybe i will buy a dettox book, anyone know the best?

Thats the first thing i usually do, no dairy, pasta, bread, potatoes. I will do it!!!!!!!!!!! Can't give up alchohol i'm afraid though
I don't really want to get a babysitter to go to weight watchers either, it seems a bit of a waste of a night off. Good look with the 4 5 lbs Lady C
