Really good item on BBC Breakfast TV this morning. 'Penny' spoke really elequently about the benefits of following the programme and how it has changed her life.

Penny is from London: does anyone know Penny, she did great on the programme and she looks amazing!

I like Penny, she is great ambassador for getting the word out. I wonder if she ever came on here.

Ooh, how very exciting! I'm going to have a look at that Jacs, thanks RFC for the link and further info. Great to have another eloquent ambassador for our programme! And one who looks amazing! Obviously it's not me, on both fronts! πŸ˜‚ Maybe you should get people to say it isn't them, until you find out the one it is! Going to look at this link right now!

Can we have a competition juju, you know like where's Wally? Where's Penny?

Penny are you on this forum (big shout out)! If you are we want to say we are very proud to have you as one of our ambassadors!

Keep running all!

Yes, a good ambassador. The programme also got a couple of mentions on Radio Five earlier.

Too bad, BBC iPlayer only works in the UK due to rights issues :-(
