American pint is 16 oz English pint is 20 oz

Ouch :embarassed: 90

I'm in. No weights.

Yep, me! My 6 year old girls are identical. They have their hair different, just to give people a chance at telling them apart. They might look the same, but they are TOTALLY different people. Sometimes I think they split in two because they were just too much for one person. One is a scheming diplomat, the other is a…

But at 1704, you are 549 under your BMR. I thought the golden rule was not to go below your BMR? Confused :huh:

Just thought I'd update this. I have discovered standing press-ups (against a wall). I can do more reps, without overdoing it. It is strengthening my shoulder, so it pops much less. I have also been doing slow arm raises to the sides and to the front (just until arms parallel to the floor, no higher), and Chris' arm…

You look great! well done you :-) Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm Type 1 diabetic, 37 years old, had it for 20 years. In a nutshell: First pregnancy with sugars not that great. Lost Kaitlin at 37 weeks. Next pregnancy sugars were fantastic, got a gorgeous boy (and he's still gorgeous at aged 8). Then in a fantastic twist of fate I got my buy-one-get-one-free twin girls. Who are…

Thanks for the ideas Chris & Lucky. I'll try the exercises you suggest Chris before I start. Unfortunately, it also pops in everyday life. Its hard to do a bunch of stretches before you reach to get a can from the back of the cupboard! Thanks Rigger - glad to hear you fixed yours. I guess I will persevere with pushups…

DO IT !!!!! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (couple of years ago). 12 weeks is fine. Like people said, take it steady, just increase a little bit each week. The buzz is SO worth it. Let us know how you get on...

I know nothing about ED. All I have experience of is being a person. A person with slightly OCD tendencies. If I don't feel I'm in control, then I get just a teensy bit freaked out. And it sounds a bit like you are feeling out of control. Just a suggestion. It sounds like you need to work your way up to a sensible amount…

Thanks :flowerforyou: After reading that, I am definitely at the top of my own to-do list today :heart:

This seems like a real craze at the moment, all my OHs work mates are doing it. Question: are you supposed to do the two fast days consecutively? Or just any two days within a week? OH thought he'd try it yesterday, had nothing at all to eat at all, then a few pints and some Skyline chilli. That cant be healthy? I think…

You look great !!! Be proud of yourself, you are awesome

Well said!

Yay, people with sense. Thank you :flowerforyou: I'm going to go check the scales, and know that it might not say anything wonderful, and I'll wait till Wednesday to record it

Take up knitting! Yeah, I know, I can hear you laughing from here. Knitting isn't exercise. BUT, it is mentally stimulating, you can pick up the equipment and materials locally for not much money, and all the resources you need to learn are online. Try knittinghelp.com, and there are a thousand you tube videos to show you.…

Everyday is a new day for your calorie target. Remember its just that, a target amount of calories. If you stick to the target, you should achieve the goal that you have set. If you don't go to the gym you might not achieve your weight loss target. But don't beat yourself up over it, tomorrow is a new day :happy:

Hi, I'm a 37 Mummy with an 8yr old boy and twin girls who are 6. I bought a set of scales today and now I know what my goal is: I need to lose 60lbs, and if I can lose 2 lb per week, I can get to my ideal weight by January 2014. New to this whole friend/blog/diary thing, so anyone in a similar situation who can help me…
