  • A woman died in the UK in 2008 from drinking 4 litres of water in under 2 hours. The news report is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7779079.stm So be careful how quickly you drink it. As to sparkling versus still water: Having read up a bit about it, there doesn't seem to be much nutritional difference…

  • It really depends on how hung up you are going to get about it. If you realise that weight fluctuates for all sorts of reasons (period, fluid retention depending on what you've eaten, how much exercise you've done, whether you are building muscle, what you are wearing, how much undigested food you have in your system, what…

  • There were some people who reviewed it on here, if you wanted to get some additional comments. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120484691&page=1 One or two were positive but what stood out for me was this: "Cons: The taste. It is absolutely the most vile tasting substance you will probably ever put in your…

  • When I was 25 I remember feeling a bit depressed about it - people kept telling me I'd lived 'a quarter of a century'. I had a child and I felt that my youth had gone. However, since then... at 29 I had my second child, at 32 I went to university, at 36 I got my first degree, at 38 I changed my life round completely, got…
    in who here worries about getting older? Comment by DocMarr February 2012
  • Since I started on here last October I have only lost 12 lbs in weight but I have lost FIVE INCHES off my waist. So I agree that scales are not the only measure of success and jumping on them every day is a sure fire way to become paranoid about it all. Scales can be very destructive to people's motivation and self…

  • If you put weight back on, then it was maybe because you 'came off the diet' and relapsed back into your old eating habits. That is why 'dieting' is such a dangerous thing. You deny yourself foods and restrict your food intake and then when you stop, you go on a binge. If you go at it slow and steady and retrain your…

  • The first poster gave a good answer. Light weights develop muscle and muscle burns calories more effectively than fat does. I'd also add that losing weight too quickly is what tends to end up with excess loose skin. If you lose the weight slowly it will give the skin time to tone up at a similar pace to the fat loss. An…

  • I cannot see that you can possibly have 45 lbs to go. You'll weigh nothing! You look nicely curved already. ...and those biceps aren't yours are they?

  • Hello all - I live in Glasgow and work in Edinburgh so straddle the central belt of the country. Over the past 4 years since I started in my current job I have found my weight creep up by about 1 lb every couple of months. That's not a lot, but after 48 months I'm now about 20 lbs over weight. I don't really want to 'diet'…
