I'd never, ever let a romantic partner cut me off from my friends (be they guys or girls, no matter). I think the counsellor is a fool. Draw up your pros and cons of staying with your current partner, if you want to fight to keep the relationship, he has to come to the table too, deal with his insecurity and jealousy. Good…

Did any of you see the Tom Baker episode where he somehow manages to sneak away a crucial piece of technology from an alien craft by trailing his scarf along the ground?

Before new Doctor Who came out, the ABC (Australian) spent a couple of years playing the entire back catalog. I was in heaven :-D PS I made a Doctor Who scarf once. Gave it to a friend as a present, don't know if he ever gets to wear it though, very impractical ha ha

I seem to recall that day were non-canonical. Modern Doctor Who doesn't hold a candle to the old stuff, there's just something they didn't quite get right (although in modern Doctor Who defense, I refused to watch it after seeing the first ep of the first new series and being profoundly disappointed in the aliens and the…

Has anyone here even watched the original set of series?!

3lbs a week is Very good. Be patient :-) if you start to feel burnt out doing what you are doing, don't forget you can change your weight loss settings to something slower, 1lb a week, maybe even 1/2lbs a week (what I'm on). Keep at it.

Don't neglect to eat your exercise calories back. Even if you don't make your goal, you're gonna be one fit, strong chicky if you stick to that :-)

Hehehe, you'll just have to buy extra milk and bananas :-D I know a guy with very weird eating habits (eats very little, but when he does, it's always super high calorie, maccas, pizza, donut etc, skinny as too of course), sometimes he'll just have a Farmers Union Iced Coffee for breakfast. It wasn't until I started…

How would you go drinking smoothies (minus the protein powder, just full cream milk and flavourings of your choice.....peanut butter and banana would probably give you big bang for buck)? And or alternatively, drink some Ensure, not ideal, but better than nothing. Good luck

buuuump :-)

Have no thoughts on resistance bands, although I use them for turbofire (and free weights for 30 day shred/ripped in 30). I will recommend circuit training though, it combines strength with cardio giving a nice 2 for one. Both the aforementioned Jillian workouts are examples of circuit training.

Nothing wrong with honesty. I want to see people of any size, comfortable to wear what is socially acceptable to wear on a "perfect body" because it helps me become comfortable with my own, not picture perfect size and shape. I did thoroughly enjoy this place http://www.mybodygallery.com/ although almost all of the stories…

And that is the crux of the problem, we should be working to demolish these, they are unfair and cause a lot of people distress. My contribution to breaking down these boundaries will be to walk along the beach in a skirt and bikini top what ever size I may be (if the weather is hot enough to warrant that). Also never…

I'd like to join, but I'm a slow loser (about 0.2 kilos a week normally). Is it like biggest loser, would I be holding the team back?

Mmmm, bump

Could I have a reader digest version please? (Based in Australia so hands are tied but watching with interest, good luck fighting the good fight).

Any size. Tend to wear pants of skirt with a bikini top though, just the bottoms feels too much like running around in underwear ha ha um.

Love this :-D Alright, I'm in with you lot (sort of). Second attempt at Ripped in 30 level 1 successfully completed on a somewhat warm day which ended up making it very hard and my burn surprising high (yay). Bring on the next session *waits for tomorrow*

Apparently half a cup dry is equal to a cup cooked. Half a cup of spirals weighed 25 grams (which I could find and enter from the data base), it's calorie number was pretty similar to what I was getting from the '1 cup' measure in the data base so I'm going with that now. 25 grams of pasta = 1 cup cooked = half a cup dry.

Woooooooooaaaaaah! You guys played support at the Gov a little while ago?! My boyfriend liked the set so much he bought a CD (which turned out to be more eclectic). But we must say "yes yes"

bump

I'm Ripping in 30, wanna keep each other accountable?

Maybe ribs was the wrong word, despite the abs, they just don't look healthy to me. Personal opinion only. I should take some time to read the headlines perhaps?!

Handy to know (guess I'll be seeing mine soon yay I think). Personally, I don't really find her appealing, but I'm a hetero girl so my opinion doesn't really count that much....I guess I'm saying, that is not a look I'm aspiring to.

Every day when I go to the servo to buy ice coffee ah ha (front page magazine covers duh)

Wish I knew how to make things bold/underlined

I think it's the sight of ribs that makes me feel they've gone too far, or can you see ribs with a healthy BMI (I'm not that trim yet so I couldn't say from looking at myself). Anyway, I didn't say the bottom row are healthy, I just imagined a calorie restricted diet and/or daily exercise regime of several hours to stay…

Skinny and healthy is fine, but skinny and eating disorder and/or self hate isn't right. It seems the majority of us women are Not naturally skinny, it's not about making the naturally skinny women feel bad, it's about providing a more accurate representation of the average female so that those of us who are not naturally…

bump :-)

Jack of all, master of none, currently on guitar, playing in a grungey rock metal band called Priority Orange. What with us forming about 20 years too late, we play to empty rooms, which is a pity, because the person who writes the songs is having a really solid crack at building upon the styles he likes rather than…
