My thoughts exactly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with venting. In fact it can be very therapeutic. It gives us a chance to calm down an evaluate a situation instead of flying off the handle with our loved ones. I need to vent more.

Oh! and a good pair of cycling shorts. It's very "owie" on the butt in the beginning.

AMEN!!!! Someone got it right!

Devon wannabe here! Actually live in South Africa. Hubby was born in Cornwall and he is trying to get a transfer to England in the next year or so. Devon is where we want to be.

I can definately see a difference. Well done Girl!

Gosh, I'm so glad you posted this. I'm in the same boat. I really want to loose weight and inches, but for the life of me I'm struggling with motivation. Emotionally, I am a little fragile at the moment and the smallest thing will upset and hurt me so deeply that I just want to lie in bed all day and don't work out. Eating…

Brilliant!

Here's a big pet peeve............. hangovers :drinker:

I was wrong once..... back in 1976, I think it was..........

Here's some more: Muscle weighs more than fat. Spam. Fishing for compliments. The word "try". Indicates zero commitment. In the words of Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try." Using texting slang or abbreviations.

That's also on my "top ten" list.

Empty containers being put back in the pantry/fridge.

We are similar: Female 45 5'4" C/W 164.2 G/W 130 - 135 ish Used to run quite a lot, but have plantar fasciitis (sp?). Then did a lot of swimming. Now I lift and do minimal cardio. I'm a lousy friend at the moment. Really battling to stay on track.

She is so lucky to have a friend like you.

Hugh! That is not my intention. The original thread was getting pretty heated so I thought a break-away as a final thought would be a good thing to do. Lots of threads have a part 2 (3,4,5,6) so what is the problem exactly?
-
That's fine too. :wink:
-
Because I wanted to..... these are my final thoughts on the subject, that's all. Please feel free to carry on. :happy:

In closing: I'm not even going to comment on the healthcare facilities and services in South Africa - IT IS SHOCKING!!!!! My grandfather landed up at a government hospital. I went to visit him and took him some yoghurt, fruit and something to drink. THEY REFUSED TO FEED HIM BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM - HE HAD FOOD ALREADY.…

Moved to end.

No it is very difficult. We are in process of looking into re-locating to the UK. It is an absolute nightmare trying to figure out a "budget". Salaries, housing, food, fuel, car prices (and let's not forget Beer :drinker: and cigarettes :smokin: ) differ so vastly. I think even applying ratios/percentages would not work.

No... South African cents. Our Rand trades at roughly R20 to the British Pound and around R12 to the US Dollar. So 6 bucks in ZAR (South African Rands) is around R72 A 500ml bottle of water here costs roughly R6.79 (I think) which in US $ is 57c A beer is around (depending where you buy it from) R12 per bottle which…

I'm moving to Bulgaria! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

For my reference: Bottled water in South Africa 1.358 cents/ml Soda 1.664 cents/ml
-
That is just crazy!!!! I'm so lucky here in South Africa because the water on tap is pretty good by most standards. I rarely have to buy bottled water. Now that's really one for the books - WHY IS WATER MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SODA? Does not make sense.
-
So perhaps I was not eloquent enough in my article, the comparison was supposed to be between an active 45-year-old who smokes vs and inactive, obese, 45-year-old who doesn't smoke - IN SOUTH AFRICA. Neither are healthy but for different reasons.
-
No such thing as a healthy inactive obese person either.
-
Uh Oh - What have I started - it was just supposed to be a light hearted view of the world from some 45 year-old house wife that lives in South Africa...............:cry:
-
Totally agree with both points. MFP just lumps sugar into one category, but there are many types of sugars from different sources such as fructose, sucrose, glucose, etc. I cannot see naturally occuring sugar being bad at all. But remember, everything in moderation.

Give that man a Bells! :drinker:
