How bad is your asthma and what medication do you take? I have mine pretty much under control. I have to take my Ventolin inhaler 15-30 mins before I do any exercise but it hasn't limited me much.

Hey! I have literally just put on my first nicotine patch! I'm worried about unwanted weight gain so to try and combat any snacking etc, I've pre-packed my lunch, not brought any money with me to work and bought a load of healthy-ish stuff for my dinners. I've quit a few times before (!) and the best thing for me was using…

I think you should weigh your food. I don't mean to be rude but I find it bizarre when people say they can't eat, for example, 1600 calories when you must have eaten more than you needed in the past to gain all that unwanted weight??

Yeh. People can be condescending k**bs. But I don't know you and I don't give a s**t.

I'm sure eventually lose will become loose. Language is not static.

I see something hideous when I look in the mirror.

Ahh have you ever been in a Wetherspoons? TVs everywhere!

You look fab, and also, I love your t-shirt.

That's amazing, I'm currently a size 12 and I feel like my bones will never fit into anything smaller!

That man who made me with my mother was extremely abusive. I won't go into details but I couldn't change him so I changed my situation. You seem to be incredibly angry at the fact that though there are people who have suffered, like you, they don't have some specific piece of advice that will make everything ok again,…

No.

I don't really have anything relevant to say (I'm sorry!) - but my brother-in-law is living in China at the moment and is 6'8 ... imagine the stares he's getting right now! And the 'sneaky' pictures! :bigsmile:

Well done Joe - you've been a massive inspiration to me :bigsmile:

Dude doesn't want a food scale. End of story.

I added it to my personal exercises and use a HRM to log calories burned.

I work out 5-6 days a week and eat whatever I want. I try to stick to my daily allowance but I'm not concerned if I go over - and the only thing I seem to be avoiding at the moment is alcohol, because I'd rather eat my calories!

I don't know, I kind of see where she's coming from.

I'm on week 3 as well. I'm approx 167lbs and 5'8 and eating 1800 cals; and while I don't know if I've put on/lost weight, I've lost 4.5 inches so far - 2.5 of which are from my stomach. I've been ignoring the scale and focusing on measurements. So... take measurements! I think that's where you'll see the difference!

Hiya, I'm doing Insanity at the mo... on Week 3 and have lost 2.5 inches off my belly already!! Sent you a friend request :happy:

My mum is Thai and she likes the petite look. I will never be petite. I'm 5'8. And I like a toned, fit body. So I've told her on many an occassion that I do not give two s**ts what she thinks! So do what you want and feel comfortable with!

Yeh! Not in costume though, I drew the line at that :wink:

Oh my God that site is amazing. I want the Firefly one SO MUCH.

:laugh: I can't stand Weetabix either, I think they're amongst the most disgusting foods on the planet. :sick:

My husband tells me I'm a nerd. We got married on May 4th. Currently trying to find a Battlestar Galactica poster to put up in our living room. Sent you a friend request!

I need to quit smoking. :sad: ... what's really awful is that I have asthma too. Might look into these e-cig things.

I wash my hair every day, regardless of whether I work out or not. I have curly hair but I don't mind the frizz. I would feel so disgusting if I didn't wash it after exercise, I get so sweaty and my scalp gets so itchy. Ugh feel itchy thinking about it.

I use a heart rate monitor and added Insanity to my own exercises. Prior to that I just used the calisthenics option, not sure how accurate it was though.

I have my second fit test tomorrow. I'm determined to beat that cheating woman. I did quite well first time round but only because I'd already been working out... well done you though for jumping on in!

McVities Jaffa Cakes. Although I'm pretty good at just having one or two.

I can't wait for Month 2! At the mo my fave is the Plyo cardio but my favourite move is, the football thing? Is it an American football move? I do it all the time in the kitchen. It makes me laugh.
