  • I cook for my Husband, but I am also a recipe book writer so I should say... I overcook for my husband and most people in my office ;) My Hubby pitches in with the washing and cleaning though, he looks after my bicycle as well! Definitely a 50-50 Marriage x

  • I love that option as well, half the time I am put off of recording my running because it's such a pain to plan my route and work out how far I have travelled :)

  • I was exactly the same about the whole girly thing. I bought the 410 which comes with a couple of different strap options it fits my stupidly small wrists but it isn't very pretty :) Frustrating really, the womans options on the Garmin range don't seem to have that many functions. I wish I played golf, I love the red and…

  • They were a big craze in my office about 6 months ago, but people soon got bored and now they have all stopped ordering them and reverted back to the usual Doughnut and Cookie options :) Most people found that they only liked one or two of the options and they ended up eating more because the Graze box was there.

  • I'm not sure if this will work for you but it does for me... I break my workout down into minute slots. So I start at a walk and every minute I increase my speed by 1.0 (or 0.5) until I am running flat out, then I reset and go again. Sometimes I will start at a run and reduce the speed by 1.0 but increase the incline by…

  • Chicken in Black Bean sauce and Boiled rice is a good option... I found the below article which is good. Chinese A lot of oil is used in Chinese cooking and many dishes are deep-fried. But surprisingly, it's not main dishes like beef in oyster sauce, chicken chop suey and prawns in black bean sauce that you need to worry…

  • You should be really proud :) I have a favourite pair of Cords and I always try them on when the scales stay the same. The scales hardly ever move for me these days, I am at that really annoying stage where even if I only eat 1200 calories every day I only lose 0.5 lbs per month! I have reduced it to 1000 now in the hopes…

Depending on the type of Wedding you have your guests may have to buy an outfit, transport, accomodation, drinks, and to then ask them for Money, or worse comment that "20 bucks is being cheap" is incredibly selfish. It is…
