  • I'll tell my husband - who is wonderful with sincere compliments, and I appreciate them and him!
  • I have exactly the same kind of body. I am 176 centimeters (a bit more than 5, 9) and I am more broadshouldered than most men of my height and very muscular as well. I have a large bust, but rather slim hips, ankles and wrists. When I'm very, very slender I weigh about 73 kg (160) ponds. I have been down to 67 kg (148…
  • It just goes to show that the world is an unfair place. I really hate míne as well - because I'm a 34 G. You could have half of them and we'd probably both look OK ! I'm seriously considering having a reduction of mine as they give me a lot of pain in my shoulders and back. I have held back so far, however, as this is…
  • I think some of the other posts miss the point slightly by just saying that you have to stand up for yourself and so on. It is very difficult to do this to someone you like very much or even love. My husband sabotage me a lot especially when it comes to exercise, so I know what you're going through.

  • This goes to show that you have to read everything carefully - just what i keep telling my students...I'm still laughing at myself. I have never been to South America, so I cannot help you specifically there, but I'm glad you could use some of the advice anyway. On the other hand I have been to Egypt a few times and it is…

But a few things might help you. Contrary to at least my preconceived ideas it is not all huge braais (barbecues) with lots of meat. They are very big on…
  • I have felt extremely tired for years. I have tried almost everything and my doctor has checked almost everything, and there seems to be nothing wrong except an extremely low energy level. When I try to eat less it gets even worse, and work-out is no help at all. My own theory is that I suffer from permanent mild…
  • Dear Cmbneely, I have never been in a similar situation and I freely admit that it would drive me out of my mind in about five minutes! It sounds to me like you are going through a very hard time and need to cut yourself at little slack! Alternatively the suggestion of walking (briskly) with your daughter is the best bet.…
  • Hi Alsison, I'm sure you have heard this before, but still the most important advice is "take it slowly". It takes at least 3-4 months for your muscle and sinew to adjust completely to a new pattern of movement and exercise; whereas your respiratory system will adjust very soon (within 1-2 months). What happens to a lot of…
