I was cooking with lamb and red wine tonight, but decided I fancied a glass of white wine, then when I opened the fridge I realised there was a bottle of dry rose languishing in there, what a good decision it was to buy that, it seemed like the perfect compromise :-) I've stocked up on wine recently so I can't do a sober…

I hope you feel better soon, have a restful day x

I had wine and steak last night too :-) tonight I'm settling for Baileys haagen dazs. Think I'm gearing myself up to an alcohol free November, better get some drinking done in October in preparation then :happy:

Nice cold cider for me with dinner tonight. Kat I'm so pleased I made back it in time for your wedding, actually thought I might have been too late :-)

Better late than never, I'm here! Life threw me a couple of curve balls over the summer and I made a conscious decision to step back from mfp, logging, the gym etc but I'm getting back to it all now. Somehow I haven't gained any weight overall but thanks to an increase in alcohol and not watching the foods I'm eating so…

<cheers :drinker:

I just want to say that as someone living in England I feel lucky that I can watch the paralympics. I am not a big sport fan, and I do think that having the events on home turf this year adds interest but I have been fascinated, amazed, inspired and moved to tears over the last few days. I think Channel 4 have done a great…

I agree that it is just marketing, if you go to some other fitness sites they are also pushing their own products as part of strength programs. I take a multivitamin, an own brand fish oil and have figured out which is the best value/best quality whey protein for my money and stick with it. I've been happy with my…

I just wanted to add that as well as the calorie dense foods, try to plan your foods so that you spread the calories over the day and have more for breakfast and lunch on the days that are active so that you don't end up with a big surplus at the end of the day (says the person who ended up with 1300 calories left before…

I've lost the weight that I wanted to, was a size 12 for most of my adult life. I'm 5'4, my highest weight was around 59kg, I now sit at around 53kg and that suits me. I'm still working on body composition slowly but surely. I really struggle to get clothes that fit at the moment, I do a lot of weight training so I'm quite…

personally I find dumbbell chest flys pretty good, done wonders for my pecs :tongue:

On my 5 minute walk to the gym I have to pass 7 restaurants and 2 pubs. However the worst thing is that my gym has a cafe area, it has just been refurbished and to publicise it they have hung huge 4ft full colour photos of food along the wall above the treadmills. The other day I was running along with a close up of a…

@Arenee lovely pic, you're very pretty. I'm not sure what people will make of my current avatar :ohwell:

avocado, I cannot stand the texture or taste

wine tonight to celebrate being offered a new job :-) cheers my lovely lushes :drinker:

hmm, you're looking a bit lonely in here, however I'm pale, English, but not ginger :ohwell:

So she hasn't called in at your house for tea then? Weird, she's round mine all the time :wink:

I've heard crab cycling is very popular

oh no not another crab thread, the fish puns will be back in abundance

I'm stressing about a lot of stuff that I can't actually do anything about right now, trouble is I don't do well with uncertainty, I like to have things all planned out. Anyway my answer is a glass of wine, just like it was last night too :blushing:

2 fast, 2 furious :tongue:

nice to see you :drinker:

That after doing a PB on my deadlift yesterday, my back wasn't painful when I got out bed this morning. That is a victory for me because it has taken years of hard work following a back injury to get to this point :-)

I wear slim fit, straight leg not super skinnies. I find having the straight slim leg looks more flattering and makes me looks balanced, having skin tight jeans that taper in at the ankles makes my thighs and bum look too big. I think it just depends on your shape.

I am drinking cider and eating dark chocolate, happy July lushes x

I've been told a few times that I'm too thin/ can't afford to lose anymore weight etc. It's nearly always been from men. When I was first losing weight it bothered me a bit, but now I've been maintaining for ages I feel secure and confident enough to be able to reply that I am happy with myself the way I am which is all…

whats worse is I haven't EATEN bacon in the last 2 minutes

"well I wouldn't kick him out of bed on a cold night"

nope it's close but the best thing ever is bacon, however cheese comes a close second, I often snack on a chunk straight from the pack. I combined them both beautifully in my cheese and bacon baked omelettes I ate for breakfast this morning. My other winning combination is salad with goats cheese and crispy bacon bits on…

LOL, so you're getting my share too! doesn't make me feel bad though :happy:
