Aaah, see we're still on Food Nation over here in the UK!

I love this show. I can't even imagine how anyone could eat that much in one sitting, though. Also, aren't the issues with his weight and health the reason he now presents 'Man vs Food Nation' instead?

You look astounding! Well done :D

Manchester City. Arsenal. Aaaand Saracens and Gloucester. Saracens are rivals of Harlequins, and sort of Leicester Tigers... and Gloucester keep thrashing my beloved Wasps. DAMN THEM.

I'm here to serve, citizen! *shooms off into the sunset*

If we're talking about general abbreviations that annoy us, I have to agree with things like hubby and preggers. But the one that grinds my gears most is prego. I mean, PREGO!? Where did the O come from?

Nope, the OP (being a Brit) wouldn't say panties, she'd say knickers. Or maybe pants. But pants are what guys wear. :drinker: I dislike the word veggies, mainly because I hear it so often on Food Network I want to slam my head against a wall. I am guilty of saying 'veg' though. Also, the person who made the big post about…

It is REALLY good, a fitting end to the series I'd say. There were a few moments when it felt like Kelley'd stabbed me in the gut, though!

I (bought and) finished '13' by Kelley Armstrong last night. Was in tears for most of the second half, knowing this was possibly the last time I'd ever read about the Women of the Otherworld again. Not sure what I'm going to read now. Might re-start the Women of the Otherworld series :p

The only one I can really remember, bar my plain clear one with a blue lid, was a blank red one that I covered in Mulan stickers. :glasses:

The closest call was when I nearly had to ask for a seat belt extender on the plane to Talinn, Estonia last year. To be fair, we were going on a super cheap airline that has tiny seats, but part of me thinks that mentality is just trying to make an excuse. But probably having to get off rides because I couldn't fit (or was…

One salmon skin roll may be lower in cals/fat than you think, AND the crunch of the skin makes it seem like it's deep fried. At Yo! Sushi, one salmon skin roll is 99cals and 2g fat, and 3 salmon skin ISO is 114cals and 3g fat =)

Thiiiis. I'm not 'giving up' anything, just restricting the amount I have, and how often, or finding ways to make those foods/drinks healthier. If I decided I was giving up anything, it would feel like a diet and be THAT MUCH harder for me to stick to. Ain't nobody gon' be taking my beer/cider/rum/wine away from me,…

Round of applause for you, sir! OP- I've got much more than 50lbs to lose; 100lbs or more. And I ain't gonna cut out my fruit, no way in HELL. With my problems, if I choose to munch on a red delicious rather than a packet of cookies, I'm gonna give myself a slap on the back and not worry myself over the amount of sugars…

My Transsexual Summer.

Hi all :) I'm Hannah, I'm 22 and I weigh somewhere around 250 lbs. I want to be down at least 10, if not more, by the time I start my MA Medieval Studies in September!

1 flaw in your otherwise fully entertaining argument: They explained the spinal injury as a vertebrae displacement. Still no way he could have recovered in that amount of time, with that much of a nutrient deficiency, but it's a little MORE explainable than if he had genuinely snapped his spine. Although the movements he…

Well done! You look awesome.

I'll give it a go, but the weather over here in the UK seems to be turning again D:

Nope. It's a great excuse for when people want me to give them lifts somewhere, though!

It's so hard to read sincerity/sarcasm on four hours of sleep D:

@katmyrose the first one to pop into my head was Aurora! But now I look, with your hair colour, it's more Cinderella

... they aren't gang signs? That's the evil eye/metal horns?

Looking good! Also looks like it was awesome. I've got Bloodstock in two weeks, RIDICULOUSLY hyped for it!

This. I can't really give you any other advice, as I'm in England and here (unless your parents are loaded) it's pretty much a given that everyone will take out a loan. But, advising you to speak to someone in the finance office of your college was what I was ging to say!

I'd love to join this! I'm hoping to be down another stone (14lbs) by the time my course starts at the end of September :)

My Christmas goal is ONEDERLAND

I LOVE the name Ava.

This thread is tl;dr but to add my tuppence to the discussion: My parents and my childminder used reigns on me AND my brother, because it gave us a chance to explore and walk, whilst keeping us safe. Nothing to do with them being bad parents. My parents were sensible, incredible parents who taught my brother and I to…

I have a few tins of the powder around in case I need a calorie boost after a swim (I like to swim at least 3/4-1km per sesh) or if I'm running late in the morning or don't have time to eat at lunch. I'm pretty sure I'll be using SF a lot more come September (doing an MA and I have classes 9-5 on a Wednesday)
