Afternoon everyone, Sorry I haven't posted already today but I feel awful - totally awful. I have glands the size of tennis balls!!!:sad: I woke up this morning and couldn't breathe they were so swollen, randomly over night?! Now I have the biggest headache you can imagine, and my glands are still killing me. I couldn't…

:happy: Good morning UKers! In a fantastic mood this morning as I have been to the gym twice already this week and going again tonight for a 45 minute spinning class which burns about 750 cals:love: !!! Sparklepants - Thank you!! I am working double hard now as I realised I have 10 silly weeks till my holiday to get into…

I nearly did that the other week till I realised how idiotic it was and I cannot run to save my life! I am 100% sure you can run better than I can so best of luck to you Erika :flowerforyou: :smile: Let us know how you get on training etc! Love Tanya x

I am 20 years old and have always prefered non-hairy men - hair is just nasty and freaks me right now haha:laugh:. Saying that.... I would find it weird if my boyfriend shaved his armpits and it was totally smooth, It makes him seem less manly in my eyes (please take no offence to you, this is my opinion). And for his…

:heart: Karen - your certainly not the pig of the group, I might have had chicken salad for lunch but I also had a special k bar and some quavers! :laugh: Hope everyone is having a good day - Gym tonight anyone? I am heading there 4 times this week - I am so proud!!! Love Tanya :wink:

Good morning everyone - and what a beautiful day it is again today :happy: ! :heart: KP ! I agree you can do this - but if your like me and LOVE snacking, snack on healthy things! I had a major crave to snack yesterday afternoon so I took a trip to tesco and bought some 'Cadbury Light Chocolate Mousse's' 60 cals per pot -…

:smile: Morning Everyone! :smile: How did everyone do over the weekend? Hope everyone is all ok on this lovely sunny Monday morning! :drinker: I had an overall good food weekend - ate little but quite often and only had 1 glass of white wine! Got chicken salad for lunch today, and having a mixture of salad for the rest of…

Karen & Erika :heart: - Thanks again for the advice and posting!! Have a good weekend everyone - I am off home now to enjoy this warm summers (I wished) evening. Love Tanya xx:happy:

Thanks so much Erika & Karen! This is really good advice and I have now made an appointment with my GP for next week, complete with a few weeks food diary. I have also just purchased Digestive Enzyme tablets which are supposed to help digestion and help with bloatiness. I will see what the doc says about taking these also.…

I was tested for this and it came back negative which was a relief but at the same time didn't help with coming to the end of why I am bloating.

My mum walks/runs on the tredmill for 30 minutes everyday (mainly walking) and has lost a lot of weight. Best of luck! Tanya

I am 19 also 20 in a few weeks, but been using BC for about 2 years. I am currently on #microgynon 30#. It reacts differently with everyone. My best friend was on this and got quite upset easily, I have been on it for 2 years and have never had problems. As for weight gain, I don't know many cases of people randomly…

No I never thought to mention it where I have put it all behind me (still hard at times) but it's only now after looking at forums on the internet and I figured it could be the result of my bloatiness. I will mention this now. Thanks so much! xx

Morning Everyone!! Today is another beautiful day and amen for it being Friday :drinker: How is everyone doing? Did everyone have a good day yesterday food-wise? I did ok but went for a curry and a few drinks with my dad after work, I had 850 cals left so hopefully I didn't go over :smile: Please can people read my bloated…

Good luck sweety!!!! Love Tanya :happy:

OK - I also suffered with Bullimia for 2 years, could this be an affect that has only recently arisen? I NEVER used to ever get bloated until a few years ago and it has been about 3 years since I got over my disorder. I am at the end of my tether and really want to resolve this - Tanya :sad:

Spin classes are great aren't they - absolutely kill me though. (Well the 1 I did) I will push myself into taking a few more classes before I give up! :) :happy:

EDWARD!! In the book he gives me goosebumps and is totally the most amazing guy you could ever want. Perfection. Then New Moon: the film came out, HELLLLLLLO JACOB BLACK! Sheeeesh, when he takes that top of I nearly fell out of my seat. Edward all the way, with Jacob's bod :heart: P.s Glad to see some Twilight Fans!!!…

Paul - I take my hat off to you (if I was wearing one). Congratulations! Tanya :smile:

:flowerforyou: Katherine - it is the DEVIL working where I work. You jsut can't get away from shops and I am trying to save money, it's so hard!!! Yes hello facebook friend :) Hope your having a good day, I am so shattered from my hard gym work out last night. I ran for an hour (don't be fooled, I ran for 3 minute and…

:laugh: That certainly brighten up my day haha!

Yes I completely agree Ben, I work in the heart of Covent Garden, just a walk away from Leicester Square, Holborn, Piccidilly, and it is FULL of shops and lush restaurants! Leaving my card at home is the best idea, I will still bring enough food for me to eat during the day without starving, but it will also help me save a…

Can someone give me an insight as to what pilates is? I hear so much talk about it but don't actually know what it is. Thanks so much:flowerforyou:

Not sure if this will be any help at all but hearing your story I will try my best to help. I think carry on with your walking, maybe increase to 60 minutes a day. I go for an hour's walk everyday on my lunch hour, explore new things but keep up a brisk pace and you would of burnt 240 cals easy and you won't get bored! My…

I use RunKeeper too on my Iphone it's a wicked app in conjuction to MFP! Best of luck - I use the cross trainer at the gym too, far more exciting than the tredmill! All the best, Love Tanya :flowerforyou:

Katherine, :heart: I know I was very proud of my willpower, didn't even know there was any deep down haha. But I have come back into the office today and the guys in accounts have a mountain of easter eggs that they haven't eaten yet, and they look so good. Luckily they aren't mine so I can't even eat them, and to top it…

Morning Everyone :happy: I never manage to get on here at the weekend as I am always supper busy but great to see that you are all better people than I am haha :laugh: I hope you all had a much fun as I did at Easter - got given 3 easter eggs, 1 of which I gave to my boyfriend, the other I gave to my mum, and the other I…

The last 10 pounds is the hardest apparently, and that is why I am struggling to lose. I weigh 9 stone 7, well I did, but the scales tell me this morning I weight 9 stone 10 again. GAH! But I want to lose 10 lbs but it just isn't budging! Best of luck! :flowerforyou:

hallswan - good thinking!! GYM GYM GYM next week if I can't get to work :) Well done on the weight loss - wish I could say the same for myself - mine is a mere 5 lbs haha! Happy Easter X

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!! So... I got my revised timetable for the trains next week into London, and there are NO trains at all going to London from where I live. Great!! On a positive note it means I might not be able to get into work, but also I will be pulling my hair out bored at home. Boo. How is everyone? Looking forward…
