:-( So sorry for you, that sucks. I think the worst time that happened to me was at the bank, I was wearing a long, flowy dress and the lady behind the counter asked when I was due. I said I wasn't pregnant, so she pointed at my belly and said "Oh, I thought that was a baby". Nope, just a big lunch, sigh....

Firstly, what an *kitten*. Secondly, I love the "Stewie Griffon" for situations like this - "Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but you're a total *****". Don't worry about her (easier said than done, I know), she's clearly bitter/jealous. When things like this happen, I just imagine how crap their life must be... imagine…

"What is the difference between a "sprint distance" triathlon and a regular one? Sounds painful!" A sprint distance is a shorter version (for me there was definitely no sprinting involved!). 750m swim, 20km ride and 5km run. There are lots of different distances- olympic, ironman, half ironman etc, not sure of the olympic…

N4Monsters - I completed my first sprint distance tri in March, and have another this sunday. If you ever get the chance I strongly recommend participating, it's such a rush to be able to say you've completed a triathlon! I've never been "sporty", but my sister has gotten incredibly fit and strong over the last couple of…

I had that exact experience yesterday! Got sweet potato wedges, looked at the calories, only 130 per serving, happy days! checked the SIZE of each serving, 3 wedges. Damn. Oh well, I only had 3 (and they were delicious) but I certainly learned that "serving size" on the pack is not necessarily MY serving size

Could you be a bit lactose intolerant? My stomach is a bit delicate when it comes to creamy/cheesy/milky dishes, however it can be temperamental, sometimes I'm fine, other times I'm running to the loo. The cheese in the wrap and the cottage cheese could be making you feel ill, add in the extra fibre and I know my stomach…

I was told to do three sets of 8 -12 reps, if you can't do 8 then the weight is too high, if you can do more than 12 then the weight is too light. No matter how many reps or sets you are doing, I think that once you find you can lift your current weight with ease, then bump it up, don't feel like you "should" be upping the…

I just asked for a new training schedule for similar reasons. I got a new program, 4 days per week, 2 days arms, 2 days legs, plus one day doing a high intensity class. Try focussing on one body section per day, plus some HIIT for cardio at the end. For example, my arms day is a superset of 3 sets of 12 lat pull downs…

No idea about how it helps people lose weight, but I have an app on my phone called Simply Yoga that I love. It gives you the choice of 20, 40, or 60 minute and it's for absolute beginners. It's free for the first version, then if you become more advanced and want more of a challenge you can buy the level 2 for about…

Once i've completed everything i'm usually there for about and hour and a half, depending on the cardio. I also play netball a couple of times a week and sunday is generally a rest day, so I do mix it up a bit and make sure to have a rest if I need it. I've always been pretty active, it's just that the weights are…

Thanks, if I'm honest I was hoping for a reply along those lines :wink: although I was genuinely concerned about inadvertantly burning out my body. Back to the gym this arvo then!

any other netball players, or am i only the lonely?

Fantastic work! your story is just about exactly the same as mine... I am tall (6ft) and quite broad, so whenever i put on weight, i was told "never mind, at least you carry it well". 4 years, a desk job, no longer involved in intense sports training, and 12kg later and it's finally time to do something. your pictures are…
