Hello I have just been told I have scoliosis and am waiting for the full report from the Consultant, I am signing up for pilates classes (whew - expensive) and have been advised to completely stop any sort of weight bearing exercise until I have spoken to a specialist physio. Was just wanting to bump this thread to see how…

And you don't think that loss would happen from just changing diet and drinking more water alone?

I like a little grated dark chocolate in mine.

Just for anyone interested in history https://sensibility.com/blog/blog/reproducing-1912-fashions-remember-titanic/

An odd article, given the fashion at that time was for tiny corseted waists. Though I love that she is suffragette - Hurrah the strapping Amazon feminists. Fashion for me. I'm vain and shallow.

Why would you want to replace spinach with anything else?

Please do not use Clinique three step - that toner is like putting nail varnish remover on your face. Your skincare should not sting. I'm 35 and have recently upgraded my skincare after reading Caroline Hiron's blog - she is reknowned for her skincare knowledge over in the UK and acts as a consultant to several major…

Same here. Almost exactly the same. I'm 35, I started at 142 and I want to get to 135 - maybe 130. I've stopped drinking almost completely (like once a month) and now, finally, the weight is coming off. Though only at 2lbs a month it seems, but I'll take it! Alcohol really seems to mess with my metabolism. Boo - evil…

Same here. I tweaked the programme to lower sets and increase reps for just this move. once I'm up to 3 sets of 8 I think I'll up the weight and try 5 x 5 again.

Incredible - thank you for sharing.

Misunderstanding the 5:2 diet perhaps?

I ballooned 14 lbs in two weeks after having been the same weight for years. I had it taken out 6 months ago but the weight still isn't coming off.

Good for you. I just want to be able to fit into my favourite clothes again. We don't all have the have the same targets.

Actually, that's a fair point. Why is it fishing for a slim person to ask that question when it isn't for someone who is actually overweight? We all have our body issues, noone walks around feeling 100% perfect all the time (or if they do I don't wanna know them - weirdos!) and we all need reassurance sometimes. OP - I'm…

As others have said - don't use boiling water. It burns the leaves and makes it bitter.

Well done. I bet your bank balance is thanking you too. Take out is expensive.

Great attitude lady!

bump for later :-)

You know - this might be my problem. I weigh my meats (chicken breasts , steaks) and veggies etc but not pre portioned things like bread, apples, eggs, bacon rashers. Maybe I need a second food scale for work?

I love wine and lots of it but I've quit for a month to see if it helps me lose. It certainly makes it easier to stick to calories...

any kind of houmous

your body burns calories 24 hours a day, it burns calories just keeping you alive. Your BMR is what you would burn if you slept 24 hours. mine, which is low, is around 1260.

I loved mine but I sold it because I was skint....sigh. Might just get myself a basic pedometer...

Wow. 7am - snooze til 8am.

*dies from the cuteness*

Is there a limit on how many friends you can have? If not then why bother deleting...? Just to clean up? Seems a bit pointless to me. Like ironing underpants.

I'm in the same boat, I've always been bad at weekends and have got nowhere. Time to up my game and have a clean weekend and see if it makes a difference.

Getting older. That and wine.

Thank you. :-)
