bump :)

I know what you mean! I'm at uni too, and if I haven't eaten well in the morning I hate not being able to eat with my friends later in the day. I try having either low calorie meals or snacks at the same time as they are eating. Stir fried veg., for example- you can have a huge bowl and join in the socialising around…

Struggling with this atm too! My dissertation is due on Monday and I am not very close to finishing it yet (as in.. at least 4000 words short. the more I try to write the shorter it seems to get!) I managed a really good 7 days and now have just resorted back to biscuits and things. BUT for those good 7 days I didn't snack…

At school we were told that your body gets most of the water it needs from food (60? perhaps? not sure though) and the rest from drinks. By this, then it would count as water. It all gets muddled in your stomach anyway! I tend not to count it as personal preference because I drink too much. Today I've had 2.5litres water…

I'm 20 and have been vegetarian since I was 12, and ate far too much bread and chocolate. I always try to eat a minimum of 5 a day fruit and veg now, and that's made me feel loads better. I used to take iron supplements, but I don't think they made that much difference- I recently started taking Boots 1-a-day vitamin C…

I'm a full-time student but I also work as a waitress and in my college library- adds up to a min. of 100 hours a month and get £4.98/hour. Tad depressing when uni fees mean you still can't afford rent and the days you work mean you miss lectures! Can't afford uni without work; can't go to uni cos at work... Oh well, it's…

I have a phobia of essays. Unfortunately it is realised far to often (including now... 2.31am and still going!)

icing, chocolate.... cake.... toast Got a touch of the essay-writing munchies.

I know the feeling! I realised I wasn't the fat friend any more in 2 stages: a) i've always been the 'chunky cousin' of the 4 similar-age girls, but one of them visited our gran at the same time as me. we went hiking and she asked me to slow down; my uncle said i ran up the mountain! (I've never had that before, I've…

I half went out, did predrinks, went to a house party and then walked into a bar, and then went to a friends' for a cup of tea instead :) btw, i secretly love my friend, which is why... i wish i didnt, life would be much easier! but friday nights in are good. hot water bottle and QI :)

Ha, I'm 'kirsty' and I hate it and always have. In classes of 'Emilys' and 'Sarahs' it is just plain BAD! My friends shortern it to 'kirsts' or 'KG' which I prefer I think; easier to say, easier to hear and not so... horrible?

That's great!!!!! :happy: I read this first as 51 seconds and 0.23 of a second :laugh: stupid me!

i think everything i miss is also a positive- and not just in a 'you aren't fat nay more' kind of way. not miss exactly, but not thinking i was fat? i don't know if that makes sense, but i think i'm more dissatisfied and judgemental when i look in a mirror now, though i know in my mind i look better (just can't see it…

All the time, and then some days I don't want to so don't. Yesterday I met a friend for lunch and had a huge piece of chocolate cake; in the afternoon I had yoghurt and a banana as a snack, and for dinner I made some less-than 100cal cookies. Normally I get my 5 a day etc., but yesterday I just didn't feel it. I don't…

Thanks guys, I'll check out the vitamins as soon as the chemist opens tomorrow! I don't know if my BF% has changed enough for it to be that; it's gone from about 24% to 17.7% according to my (probably inaccurate!) scales. But thanks; these have really made me feel better already!

thanks, I'll look into them tomorrow. I hate feeling like a bear with a headache! (or however the saying goes)

No, I had it checked a few months ago cos my parents have thyroid problems and it was totally fine. Aw, hopefully you'll be sorted soon if they can balance the medicine right!

buuump :blushing:

Someone I know once 'forgot' to dress up to a university halloween party. He grabbed a bag of pic 'n mix, went in normal clothes, and offered people sweets all night in a creepy voice. When people asked what his costume was he said 'paedophile.' I think he came up with 'forgot' to dress up when people complained it was…

No one's ever asked me, but I have a few expereinces of the other end... My mum once asked someone when her baby was due in Tesco; she wasn't pregnant, but she'd had it the day before so it wasn't that bad! I was waiting for a bus once, and this woman came over who was really thin apart from her stomach; she looked about 6…

My friend once called me a 'big girl' after i lost 30lbs; he meant tall, but i teased him about it and we laughed; the awkward bit came a few days later when one of my housemates said 'you can't a fat girl fat,' and my insulting friend said 'i called her fat at tesco' and everyone laughed....! It's kind of wierd, cos they…

Our vets have always told us peanuts are poisonous for dogs and not to give them that, or tea, coffee, grapes, chocolate, coconut, almonds (also in curries and things- so you have to be careful!). Maybe vets in the US say something different? But here vets ALWAYS tell you not to give dogs peanuts. We found this out when my…

And think how much time you're going to waste delelting ALL of that of timeline as soon as you start looking for a job! (although other than the 13yos I have on fb, the people who post about this stuff are all my parent's friends... which is kind of worse; it's very disturbing!)

Great question :) I started at 166lbs in September 2011 145 by November got down to 135 in January (for a day I was 130, but it was very sudden so I don't count it); my goal was 130 at this point blipped and went back up to 140-ish until June when I changed my goal to 9.5stone (133lbs) now down to 134lbs! And feel a lot…

the one that goes 'when we collide we come together'.... REALLY? :explode: are you SURE that's what collision entails? And here i was thinking it meant moving apart... :grumble:

5'8 Heaviest last September (that's when I first weighed myself anyway) at 166lbs lowest (for about an hour in February, so I don't think it counts) 132lbs Current weight 133.2lbs Goal weight...... not really sure. I'm quite muscle-y and have a pretty low BF%, but want to completely BANISH the muffin top. :smile:

I've done 30 Day Shred, Six week six pack and killer buns and thighs sparodically. I wasn't a big fan of 30DS *ducks and hides to avoid weights thrown at head* but really enjoy the other two! The reviews on amazon are pretty helpful, and you can test them online before buying them if you type the name into google and…

try these instead. They are REALLY yummy and REALLY healthy! (or at least, not unhealthy!) http://www.foodiefiasco.com/2012/05/25/all-for-one-chocolate-chip-cookies/ She gives the whole batch at 65 calories. I got it about 150 more, but I used more sugar and banana than she did.

1. I like you so much better when you're naked- Ida Maria, and definitely have to be careful not to sing along in the gym! 2. There she goes- the Las's 3. All shook up- Elvis. This one's really great for running cos there's a pause with 3 beats in and it's fun to try and run with them 3. You spin me round- Dead or Alive 4.…
