love it! i still stack all the dishes at the end, scrape any left overs into the top plate etc! you cant get out of waitressing habits!

saying that though..when i was 17 working at pizza hut us serving staff got £3.20 an hour...and was less than kitchen staff as we got tips... so sometimes serving staff are on less than others... However i wont tip unless we get better than basic service!

How on earth does your bladder hold so much!??? in UK, very rarely will you encounter anywhere that does refills and if it does you pay a little extra for free refills (that doesnt really work out but its unlimited drinks!) But really how can you drink more than two pint glasses and still have room for your meal???

I did WW about 7 years ago and lost 28lbs...it was so much easier then! just simple points....but I left as I never attended the actual meeting, just the weigh in *kitten* it was just one big sales pitch...they also didnt like it when i told them their tinned ravioli smelt like vomit and that you could make their…

Thanks guys, shall get out my husbands set of weights and work something out!

Thanks everyone! What kind of weights program should i use? how much how often? Ive never done any weight before!

Thanks everyone - lots to look at and think about!

oh i love rowing!! when i used to go to the gym a few years back i was posting times that were just a little slower than the mens times and i was a relative newbie! They said not many women did it so didnt have a chart for them...my mum used to have a rowing machine when i was a kid and i could spend hours on it! Have been…

Interesting points everyone! I could bike to and from work maybe a couple times a week (depends on if i need the car to pick my little girl up/drop her off at her granny and grandads! - no way would i ride through traffic here with her on my bike...there are so many driver lunatics out there to risk her! and the roads are…

i kind of am preferring the cycling but if running is a LOT better then i can work on that...what do you mean by resistance training? am intrigued!

oof! i have a front fitted bike seat but it makes you ride like John Wayne! But at least she has fitted air bags! and makes it impossible to steer or go up a hill......or maybe im not as fit as i thought!!

I am the one and only!! but if i google then im apparently a male lifeguard...if i google my maiden name im a gorgeous german model.. lifes a *****...

I minute Child Protection Conferences but in 6 weeks time I will be a Student Midwife! Get In!!!!

Adele's Someone like you , its such a beautiful song and "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey...." as my little girl grins at me when i sing it her at bedtime...makes me realise that we already have everything we ever need and am so lucky,,,

very true, my sister, mother and I all have this figure (albeit carrying extra weight). If i lost the weight i want to i would have that same shape (my shape was the typical hourglass of 40-30-44) so we do exist...its just unfortunate i dont have her looks too!!!

Lambii - I cant guess yours as you have said so I'll go for splash angel I'd guess 28.....

Thank you everyone!! xx

Hey honey! i have a fair few recipes i can email for you that are low cal if you wish! Hugs to the family! xxx

nah dont worry about mercury!!! the only fish pregnant women get told to avoid is shark, swordfish and marlin for mercury levels and thats them being very cautious...enjoy!

well being a 36GG im uncomfortable WITHOUT a bra! I slept in one when in late pregnancy and for a year after whilst breastfeeding but now i dont...although funnily enough last night i was lying on my back and felt a bit uncomfy without one...so may just get one one those tank top ones....

A pack of german salami......the best, the veg draw!

Alcohol in moderation is actually good for you.... I have just studied some nutrition and diet stuff with Open Uni and it was very interesting. On a chart of drinking habits, its showa that there was a J curve when it came to alcohol and its benefits. Those who drank NOTHING had a higher incidence of heart disease yet…

thanks guys! have always been a bit confused as to the entries etc and if they would be the same ones i was thinking of!!!

I was going to say the same thing! Your hair is beautiful!!!

Completley agree! I have a liverpudlian father and with one of them you cant NOT have a sense of humour... Most days if i didnt laugh I would cry!

ooooh nowt like a good roast ;) having one tomorrow night as it happens!

Ah....ok, those who like her would like our Uk version - James Martin....a proper northern chef , pastry chef too who loves his butter....oh and the delectable Nigella Lawson.....

right....kiddywinks....who the F** is paula deen? and really....do we actually give a shi*????

by end of Feb I want to lose another 10lbs and get to 196 lbs....that will make 13.5 lbs since mid January and will be the lowest I've been since my wedding day 2.5 yrs ago!
