My boss is about to pop, my good colleague has just got pregnant, a girl from my college I knew is due any day, and my ex uni housemate is due twins any day now, I feel that everyone is having babies (and not necessarily getting married first). I've been with my boyfriend for over 6 years but he doesn't even want to get…

I've spotted a girl who has started coming to the Combat Class I do. She wears low cut velour tracksuit bottoms with diamante words on the back, a tiny crop top, full face of make-up, fake tan, hair extensions......and she can't even do "jab-cross" properly. Looks ridiculous.

I lost a large area of hair in 2009 through alopecia, which was stress induced. It's where your body's own immune response attacks itself. If you have any questions, message me, as I know how devestating hair loss can be.

again, this comes down to me knowing my mother and how she'd react. I know she wouldnt be "gutted" - theres nothing really in there that I haven't said to her face to face at one time to another - but the fact she said she considering divorcing my dad because she didn't want to go on holiday "fat" was just the icing on the…

Oh I know! I work with drug addicts and its all about decisional balance this is how I see her seeing it Pros of changing: look better, feel better, better marriage, healthier, live longer Pros and staying the same: comfortable, safe, enjoy take outs, routine Cons of changing: time, money, fear of failure, having to be…

She wants to change though, she knows what she has to do, knows the risks, knows the benefits of changing........theres just fear between thinking those thoughts and putting them into action. She's not in precontemplation (check out cycle of change - prochaska and diclemente) as she recognises she has a problem, she is in…

a girl at work who is about a size 10-12 has now decided its "easier" not to eat anything during the day when shes at work so she can lose weight. she'll eat at home with hubby and son, but nothing at all during 8am-5pm

500 for body pump, seriously?? I log around 400 for combat, but when I do pump its only about 250.

There is a girl in my office who is a natural size 6 (UK) and I've never seen her eat anything other than crap in the 2 years she's worked for us. During a day she will eat a tube of pringles or a bag of crisps, a family sized bag of skittles, and then other sweets and crisps: her desk is always piled high with them, its a…

hiya i lived in stoke (newcastle and hanley) for my 3 years at uni in that area, and i live in walsall now, so not too far! feel free to add me.

everyehere! mine were £3 and are basic, but you can pay a bit more for cute novelty ones at lakeland etc. I used to think american recipes and measurements were "dumbed down" but since baking using american books, its a million times easier and faster! Converted!

I have fallen arches and extrenely tight calveswhich come from walking on my tiptoes for my entire childhood. I have inserts in my trainers so give my arches more stability and to stop my toes from rubbing when my foot rolls over. Seems to have helped but if I run for a long time, or I do a class where theres alot of…

Get buscopan from the chemist to treat the cramps. I also take a tablet that you take before you eat anything you think might set you off. This is why I buy wheat free pasta, eat wheat free bread and avoid too stodgy things like pastry etc.

I'm allergic to eggs, nuts and shellfish as well as lanolin, which is found in cosmetics. I'm also wheat intolerant, as it gives me IBS like symptoms so I avoid bread/dough, pasta, pizza etc. I do eat biscuits though as they dont seem to contain enough to set me off - however the more processed the wheat, the worse it is.

Mon francais est un petite mal! Je parler un petite peu. *Ma Francais

I read an article in a tattooing magazine about arm/hand/wrist tattoos, apparently they are known colloquilly as "everlasting jobstoppers" due to their ability to put off potential employers. It depends on the type of work you're in - I work in a drug and alcohol service - the very heart of what we do is not being…

i take peppermint capsules and drink mint tea when i feel bloated the woman at the holland and barrett herbal shop said aloe vera gel/juice is really good too

seems slightly high compared with my HRM - also there is so much variation in Zumba, I went to one class that was very latin and dance, then I did one this week which was more like aerobics. Plus the intensity level is a bit obscure.

im 5 foot 7 around 118 pounds. I still have excess fat on my belly, but i have skinny arms and lost alot of inches from my bust. I keep reading that he only way to tone belly fat is to do cardio and lose body fat that way, but then I lose it in the wrong places and look too skinny! however, i coul eat until the cows come…

im 5 ft 7 and weigh currently around 117-118 pounds. Its annoying though because although thats quite a low weight in comparison with most people my height, all that weight is concentrated on my bums and thighs, and ive lost it all from my arms and bust so I have a bizarre spindly pear shaped body atthe moment!

FYI your quote was by Kate Moss. She was slated in the media for apparently having said that.

my halogen convection oven - cost about £27 quid, cooks food quicker, healthier and just better lol. Plus you can watch it cooking properly. I hardly ever use my actual oven anymore. Wouldnt be without it.

starbuck$ do leaflets with all the nutritional info listed for the various options ie: varieties of milk, sizes of drinks, with cream, without cream etc. which I've found particularly useful.

If you have an allergy, moderation is not an option. In my case, my mouth, tongue and sometimes throat swell up and I feel severely sick. There's no way I would eat something that did that to me in "moderation"!!

sorry but this isn't an allergy - probabaly an intolerance. An allergy is when your body produces dangerous levels of histamines resulting in side effects like mouth swelling, cramps, sickness, vomiting, rash, constriction of airways etc. They can be fatal in some severe cases. Some people have intolerances, but they're…

eggs, shellfish and nuts. i also cant tolerate wheat very well due to IBS so I try and exclude wheat as much as possible. However, most wheat free products contains eggs which is madness! I have to carry antihistamines with me every time I go for a meal and I also have an epi pen "just in case" but I've not had to use it…

I used to be such a picky eater in my teens - I wouldnt eat anything green, pretty much lived on pasta, chips, potatoes etc. If it had a weird texture, I wouldnt touch it. I'd pick peas out of spag bol, and onions off burgers. I was pretty much the same through uni. When I left uni, I sort of grew up. I tried mushrooms…

100 calories of brocolli is not the same as 100 calories of chocolate brownie.......its the levels of fat (saturated especially) and salt you need to look out for. Like I have someone on my news feed who is usually under her calorie goal, but eats high fat foods like fry ups, fast food, cake etc. I am also usually under my…

bread - as it gives me bad IBS symptoms which means I've also given up sandwiches and pizza Additional granulated white sugar - so none in tea, porridge, cereal etc, just sweeteners Full fat soft drinks (occasionally I forget and order a normal one, but I've practically switched to diet all round).
