As a polyglot I am very proud to be a grammar and a spelling nerd.....but we also have to recognise that language evolves over time. Today's mistakes and faux pas become the norms of tomorrow......twas ever thus!

It's great fun if you do your research and find a place you feel comfortable. I did one two years ago (before I put on all the weight).....I'm almost back to looking like I do in the pics!

Stupid question time.....what is an interval timer?

I agree 100% with this. My youngest son 'pinched' a baby doll from a friend's daughter when he was about 18 months old. It became his baby. We gave hima pushchair and a blanket and for a couple of years the baby went everywhere with him. Some friends and family thought it was weird but we didn't care...he was happy. he's…

Hi all. I'm Gail, 52 living in Warwickshire, UK but from Manchester originally. I have never labelled myself a feminist as such, mainly because I have rarely feel the need to. I was brought up with my sister to get involved with whatever needed doing. I helped my dad service and repair his cars and my mum cook. I went to a…

A thriller by Greg Iles....don't know what it's called in English because I'm reading the German translation. I just love my iPad Kindle app.

Female GP told me not to worry about gaining weight at my age (I was 50) because it was hormone related and there was nothing I could do about it....stupid, stupid woman!!!
-
I thought I'd had some bruises in my time but nothing to rival that!!!! Ouch!
-
I don't know as I only get the night sweats.....I'd be happy to swap a few of those to find out though.....I can't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep :-(
-
Look for Shock Absorber.....I have one and it's fine...I'm in the UK but I just Googled it and they are available in the US.

When you find a pool, check to see if they do water aerobics classes. They are great fun and you can do all sorts of exercises you wouldn't manage out of the water.
-
I swim in a 20m pool and just keep going.....I use a waterproof MP3 player to stave off the boredom....I can do 80 lengths (1 mile) in about 55 minutes. I don't think the length of the pool should make any difference to the total distance you swim.
-
I agree with those above who suggest swimming....and yes I know most people can't do that at home. I also do water aerobics. I only have a half a right kneecap after a car accident more than 20 years ago and it is just too painful to do any weight bearing exercises that involve flexing my knee. I do cycle and use the cross…

I'm with you there......ticking off the weeks to July for the full 12 months. I'm still not sleeping any better though.....night sweats are a real pain.....I long for a complete night's sleep.....just one I'm not greedy!! I don't have any fog or memory problems....well none that I can remember. lol

I have set mine manually to 1300 which should have me lose 0.75lbs a week. I was on 1200 and did very well, losing over 30lbs from August to March. I had noticed the weight loss slowing down and did struggle to keep to the 1200 as I only exercise a couple of times a week. I always eat back my exercise calories.....I use…

I have taken Solgar multi-vitamins and minerals for 13 years. They were recommended by a pharmacist friend and since taking them I have definitely had fewer colds and minor ailments. I wouldn't swear to it being the vitamins but I'm not going to stop taking them to find out. The only downside is that they are not cheap and…

I read a few reviews about the headphones not fitting but they were mostly from men.....maybe women's ears are smaller because mine fit just fine!
-
I'm with you on this one. The only problem I have is lack of sleep due to night sweats and I will not take HRT. I have heard women say how embarrassing the hot flushes can be during the day but I'd gladly put up with that in exchange for just one decent night's sleep!!
-
I have an iPhone and did think about a waterproof cover but decided I just didn't want to take the risk. I bought a Speedo Aquabeat MP3 player instead and love it.
-
^^^^^THIS!
-
Hold your hand out for a slap too......SLAP! Now pull yourself together and get on with it!!!

^^^ Tesco definitely do a half fat mozzarella....it's not much good for cooking as it doesn't melt well but I use it in salads for lunch.

UK (home) France Germany Italy Spain Portugal Greece Austria Switzerland Luxembourg Andorra USA Tunisia Morocco Barbados St Lucia Maldives Singapore Belgium Holland I think that's all of them but I may have missed one or two!
-
I agree with the others on the music....I didn't trust a cover for my ipod so bought a waterproof mp3 player. It's great and a lot more fun than counting laps.
-
Of course....if it has calories I log it. If you eat several pieces of fruit a day it soon adds up.
-
Like the others have said it is possible if you're careful what you choose and watch the calories. If you're having a meal and want wine. try alternating with water. I drink sparkling water out of a wine glass, that way it feels 'right' in my hand.
-
Try to get to a swimming pool.....you don't actually have to swim. I see plenty of people who just walk up and down. I do aquafit and the instructor says that you get 7 times the resistance from water than you do in the air.
