Anything with more than four limbs... totally wrong. Spiders get by unharmed if they a) stay far away from me and b) eat the other unacceptable bugs, but only nowhere near me. I had to skip to the end of this topic thanks to the icky pictures :(

I did water aerobics a few years ago now. Really enjoyed it. It does seem to depend on the instructor what you end up doing. One thing to remember is that because you're in the water, you won't notice sweating, so make sure you take some water for afterward (or during, depending on how easy it is to leave it on the edge of…

I just did day 1 of week 1 today. I am so out of shape :( I think I managed 1/2 the runs. Admittedly, I ended up walking for an extra 30 minutes at the end anyway because I got lost on my route, so I don't feel quite so bad about it. I'll keep trying and not move onto week 2 until I can do all of week 1 with running…

Bump to save for later too :)

Hiya, I'm from Northampton, but I spend most of the week in Basingstoke for work. Feel free to add me as a friend, the more support the better! :smile:

Hiya, don't give up! I work a desk job as well and I'm usually away from home for 3 nights of the week, staying in a hotel. At the moment, I'm mostly losing weight from diet changes, but I do want to increase my activity levels. If it helps I've lost a good couple of stone since the start of the year, not super-fast I…

Wow! I'm going to give these a try at the weekend! They sound great :)

I'd agree with frame not being included in BMI - I'm 5'8" & I'm sure the BMI for that is far lower than I want to go. At the moment I'm aiming for between 11 & 12 stone because I know if I fall below 11 stone I look ill. My sister, who is a little shorter than me has a much smaller frame than I do can go below 10 stone and…

One of my favourite substitutes is meringues. Tesco do strawberry mini ones that are about 21 cals for each meringue but I think they're sweeter than cadburys :)

Here's my recipe for butternut squash pasta: 1 butternut squash 1 onion 1 red bell pepper. 4 slices back bacon (chopped into small pieces) Dice the above & place in a roasting pan with a little olive oil drizzled over the top & if you have it, some fresh rosemary. Roast everything until the squash is soft. Meanwhile, boil…

In fairness, I'm happy to play anything, any genre. Fallen earth is just my current home. SWTOR is likely to be the next one as I love bioware games (even the single player ones). Sigh... I'm such a geek.... and proud of it :-)

How about fallen earth? Post-apocalyptic nerd-dom :)

You can fry onions with water rather than oil, they'll soften up perfectly well that way :) Or, if you're not vegetarian, you could do meat first, which would give you juices to cook the veggies with?

You've done amazingly well with your weight loss there & you are definitely looking cute! Like everyone else says, hard though it is to hear, be happy with yourself & what you've done. Do the positive thinking - you've lost loads of weight, you're looking good, you're intelligent & healthy. When the right person turns up,…

Mexican Style Slow-cooked Chicken Serves 4 4x chicken breasts (skinless) Tin of chopped tomatoes 1/2 fresh pineapple (cut into chunks, or tinned equivalent) 1 plaintain, sliced (or 2 bananas) 1 onion, fine chopped 2 unripe pears, cored & diced 2x chilli peppers (I used red ones, but adjust according to your preference for…

Depending on where you are - I'm assuming UK from the use of 'fiver' ;) you could check your local council to see what facilities they offer. I know my local council has swimming baths that are £3.20 with their leisure card and the leisure card is something like £16 for the year. They run gyms as well which are no contract…

Hi, I'd love to join Team UK (England) too! My mini-goals for May are to lose at least 5lbs, drink less diet coke & increase my exercise - I definitely don't do enough at the moment, which is partly due to being away during the week and then lacking motivation at the weekend!. Feel free to add me as a friend as well, the…

Feel free to add me - I'm 5'8" & aiming to lose around 57lbs or so. Lost 7lbs so far, which I'm pleased about. Finally below 16st for the first time in ages :)

I'll send you a request too :)

I'll join in. Weighed in this morning at 100kg, so to lose at least another 5lbs by the end of the month would be ace! :-)
