I found it more intimidating at the gym, surrounded by so many very fit people, than actually going out for a run. When I started to exercise I did one thing before every time I worked out, went for a run, squeezed into my jammers for a swim or even just went for a long walk: I reminded myself that nobody else mattered at…

So many similar stories here. Most of my colleagues are hideously overweight but "dieting". They have learnt I won't be tempted except very rarely and when I want to, not when they want me too. I have turned the tables on them though a couple of times, when they have been dieting, I've taken in treats for them. Pleasures…

I don't cane the alcohol but I do drink at weekends. It's good for people to be reminded that you don't have to give up everything you love just to get results like yours. Thanks

This is an interesting question and response. One of the previous posters talks about fat cells constantly turning over and that makes sense. To my logical brain when you consume food the body will react in a set order, namely to take what it needs for it's immediate replenishment. for instance, if you are really hungry or…

That sounds too random not to be true. Obviously you should send me the link so that I can be sure to raise it in the future.

Do I go for: a) I have, I watch you sleep or b) I would like to you, you are gorgeous and funny

And I thought I was being contentious raising the bible. You've gone straight for the jugular. You just dont care do you?

easy mistake - you are young and will learn

Are you looking under comedy?

Is the bible just a really long, boring novel?

Goddammit - there is no response like indifference! :laugh: especially when it comes to punching your kids

oh, and listen and hear that your SO listens to you.

Why stop then? You're a quitter

trust and be trustworthy be honest and ask for honesty be yourself (warts and all) and encourage your SO to be themselves treat others as you would want to be treated. ignore psycho-babble relationship advice

There was another article, not long ago, not very scientifically managed, where they put a rugby team through their paces, then gave half milk and half energy drinks afterwards. The results from those that drank milk was that they suffered less muscle fatique and recovered quicker

Unfortunately those that use birth control are the ones that take responsibility. Those people will benefit from having free birth control but it wont make a difference to the fact that they use it. Unwanted children from people like this will be because of accidents. Accidents happen. Free birth control does not prevent…

Sorry, but this is just a bit generalistic. The NHS is flawed, far from perfect. I'm not going to pretend it isn't. There are lots of parts of it that can be slow but we should be careful of the picture we paint of it. The speed that the NHS works at is largely geared to the severity of the problem (risk to life) but in…

Firstly - you look great Secondly - I wouldnt worry about going too far. Everything you talk about is being more toned, doing a little more. Nothing suggests to me that you have anything more in mind than a sensible ideal. The fact that you are worried about it also means you are aware of your own body image and therefore…

I can answer this, but like many things in the UK, our direct taxation system is extremely complex. An individual pays two types of direct taxes. Income tax and National Insurance. The rates differ based upon circumstances and earnings. Generally, for income tax, the more you earn the more you pay (although tax avoidance…

I've lost 3 stone, just over 2 stone before joining MFP. Before someone told me about MFP I was logging all my calories on a spreadsheet. The principle was the same although it was unsophisticated and I didn't make allowances for exercise calories.

I'm such a horrible person even I don't like me.

No, don't get tired and it's a good job really, because if I did I would probably crash the plane

Kale is like cabbage, leaves should be crisp and not mushy. Have always trimmed the stalk so have never eaten it. Lovely steamed, doesn't take long
