  • This! I never had excess weight in that area until after I had my boy 6 years ago and it hasn't shifted since!
  • Drinks with artificial sugar have that affect on me, particularly when I was drinking 2 or more cans of diet coke / pepsi max / diet sprite / diet fanta etc a day. Noticed a big difference when I cut them out and replaced them with tea or water instead. I've also experienced it when I've had too high protein and next to no…
  • I was just about to ask the same question! :) Our "team" is slack and hasn't picked a team name yet, so we're still listed as Tba.... This will be my 3rd year doing GCC, but t he last 2 years I lost motivation, hoping to really step it up this year (excuse the pun). I will have to look up your team, see how you are…
  • Not weird at all. I must admit that I'm married and have been for 17 years, got married just before more 21st birthday. Didn't have our first ( and only) kid until I was 32 years old. We had pets first! (after the first 3-4 years of being married). I put on my weight before kid from plain old not moving enough and eating…
  • I had my first colonoscopy last year at 37 years old. I had to almost beg my Dr for a referral as she considered me too young and that my mothers colonoscopies have been clear. I pushed the point that my maternal grandmother had just passed away from colon cancer, and her sister was recovering from bowel cancer and her…
  • My hubby is in the same boat. Chol with one of the none fasting tests during the day shows normal but has high trigs. We got our GP to run a full test fasting chol. Etc and he has high trigs and sky high "bad" chol levels. He is now on two medications and it brought the levels down to normal within two weeks. (diet changes…
  • Missing and grieving for your pet is not stupid. They are part of your family. *hugs* to you. I am struggling with the same thing myself, my 13.5 year old golden retriever passed away in his sleep on Friday night, we knew we wouldn't have many years left but didn't expect it to be so soon, he was still eating and acting…

  • I love mine, most people I know don't even know I have it. It has special meaning to me. I just hate the term "tramp stamp". (my tatt is my profile pic)
  • I'm from Australia and we don't have weight or height on our DL. Only identifying things on them is the photo and our address and type of licence we hold e.g learners, car, motorcycle etc. plus once you have a full licence it's valid for 10 years!

  • I am trying to be wheat free. Recently have had allergy tests to try and get to the bottom of some of the health issues I have been having (sinus / post nasal drip / joint pain / excessive tiredness) that all other tests have shown that there is nothing wrong with me. Allergy tests show a high positive reaction to wheat…

I know on pure weight a plane uses more fuel to…
