thanks for the reply! :smile: I don't want to sound like a wimp here, but in my gym it's hard enough to concentrate on my own workout in the weights room when I'm the only woman in there and getting stared down by men! The free weights room is always really full, and I have never once seen a woman in there. I know I'm…

LEMMINGS! I have a copy on CD that you can load on any PC it's amazing and still awesome to play!

It has taken me nearly 6 months to lost 22 lbs, so I'm definitely the turtle in this race! I will get there though, and so will you. Like others have said at least your skin will keep up if you lose slowly. good luck :)

My ex fully believed that women only have 2 holes, and that pee comes out of the vagina. I tried to explain but he just wouldn't believe me.

Apple source? :laugh:

"The aim of this study was to discuss the direct and indirect cellular effects of aspartame on the brain, and we propose that excessive aspartame ingestion might be involved in the pathogenesis of certain mental disorders (DSM-IV-TR 2000) and also in compromised learning and emotional functioning." The study you posted…

You got a certified peer review study for that assertion?

Thank you, that was my point. It *is* a peer reviewed study. I also never said that aspartame causes depression, neither does the article - it points out a link between diet soda and a higher risk of depression. I'm not speculating, I simply posted an article and said it was interesting, I didn't even say whether I agreed…

I'm not saying that when you eat/drink it, you feel depressed by the action of doing so, you've misunderstood me there. What is digested by the body goes in to your blood stream, to your organs etc and this can affect energy levels, mood, etc. to the extent that over long periods of time it can create long lasting effects.…

I agree, the article says that too. It doesn't mention cause, just a link to higher risk of depression. I just thought it was interesting because so much of how you feel is affected by what you put in to your body.

It's great on buttered toast with a slice or two of ham on top! There's a tv chef over here called Nigella Lawson, and she has a recipe for Marmite Spaghetti, very simple and only 430 calories per serving! (If you leave out the parmesan :wink: ) http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/SPAGHETTI-WITH-MARMITE-5306

Weight can vary so much even within the span of the day, and there are so many factors that can influence it! You're right to not let it get you down, I know 2lbs feels like a great achievement (to me anyway!) once you've worked to get it off, and only to see it back there again can be upsetting. My only advice would be to…

Yeah it's low alcohol which makes it low calorie! Not worth it in my opinion, I'd only end up drinking more of it and consuming the same calories :wink:

These things exist?! I had no idea... It seems to me that it's the same principle as a push-ups bra, but i guess a bra pushes up what you already have, what do these booty poppers do? It is just padding? ETA: I googled....they look really weird and I imagine if a guy tried to give u a tap on the *kitten* it would feel…

I use the Simple c25k - it's free, you can go in and out of the app without it stopping, for example to play your music or use a tracking app such as Endomondo simultaneously, you just have to use the 'home' button rather than press 'back', because that will cancel your workout. Just press the button to take you to your…

THIS. mmmm bacon.

As I've already said, week 5 day 3 was the best feeling!! I found that during the shorter intervals I'd be waiting and waiting for the beep, pushing myself and looking forward to walking. With the 20 minute run, you just have to go. Concentrate on your form, your pace and your music, keep yourself amused and the 20 minutes…

There are a couple of species of ape that are cannabalistic habitually. And a few more than are carnivorous. Most enjoy a varied diet that encompasses meat and veg/fruit/legumes. Mass-production of plants has also damaged the environment and could damage your body. Palm oil, rapeseed oil, genetically engineered plants etc.…

I'm doing week 1 workout 4 tonight, I'm doing it 3 times a week, not the 5 or 6 she recommends so my progress might be slower or results slightly less but I need to fit it in to my schedule in a realistic way, so I'm just glad I'm working out at all :) Like someone above said, very similar to 30DS. The workout actually…

It's a diet. Being vegan determines what you EAT. So yes, it's a DIET. Yes, people who were richer could afford to buy meat when it was scarce. They could also afford many other foods that were scarce, which could have contributed to their body composition. You don't know for a fact that in rationing periods richer people…

There are more sheep than people in New Zealand. I heard this once, any Kiwis feel free to dispute that, it may not be true.

Hi, I'm currently on week 8 on c25k and I'm definitely a convert! At first I couldn't run for a minute without feeling awful and I hated it, but I stuck at it. What changed it for me was that first 20 minute run at the end of week 5. I was dreading it, I thought "how on earth can I go from running 8 minutes in a row to…

This has no direct correlation to whether or not we are meat eaters. You could say that walking and running on two feet enables us to run after our prey, just like a carnivore. Do *all* carnivores have tails? Nothing to do with whether or not we eat meat, fingernails developed wayyyy back in our ancestry because of…

I love vegetarian/meat eating/"meat is murder" discussions almost as much as i love debates about religion. p.s. the use of fire to cook meat, the domestication of cattle and the change in the jaw/teeth of our ancestors was crucial to the evolution of our species, and the evolution of civilisation. I love a good steak.…

I finished it about 2 weeks ago, and while it was hard going I am now a total Jillian Michaels convert! Just started Ripped in 30 :) It's great if you're pressed for time; in the 20 minutes she does 3 circuits and by the end of it you WILL be sweating! There are loads of 30DS results threads and you can see that it really…

Hi, I was on Cilest a while ago. My dr had changed my pill because I was having problems with my TOM too ('spotting' in between periods, sorry if that's tmi) and they said it would help regulate my periods more. It didn't. lol. And my appetite increased too! Changed to another brand after a few months. I'd say give it at…

I find using the energy you're putting in to hating yourself as energy to push even harder kinda helps. I'm not saying cultivate it, but use it as motivation to carry on! I look at my belly in the mirror and hate it, I hate how it feels when I'm sat down, I hate that when I feel full I carry on eating just because it…

Manchester here! Always welcome new friends :) x

Hey, I'm in the UK! Friday weigh-er and I often forget to even log my water, so you won't get any nagging from me, as long as you don't point out how much gin is in my diary at the weekends :drinker: Looking to lose 1.5 stone too, *try* to exercise 3 x a week but if i don't you'll probably see a status update telling…
