I am so jealous of how much of a big deal Halloween is in the USA! It just doesn't compare here in England. When I was in Florida years ago I went to one of the Halloween horror nights at Universal Studios and it was the best thing ever.

Okay in honor of page 666 >:) When I was 12 my msn email address was something like satan_is_your_friend. I fancied myself as a bit of a goth *cringe* real_men_wear_pink was another delight.

We will get there! I don't know why you're getting such a hard time. I thought it was well known that certain people are genetically predisposed to storing body fat in certain spots. I know that there are people with a much worse diet and lifestyle than me who don't do any sort of exercise and don't look anywhere near as…

I've just booked a holiday to New York and I'm so excited to try all of the American foods and restaurants people post here that we don't get in the UK. I've been to Florida 3 times when I was in my teens but mostly we just lived off Denny's and Subway. This time I'm gonna take full advantage of the yummy foods. I need…

Aww he is a little cutie! Proud cat mama over here :p

I know what you're saying. My BMI is more towards the lower end of the healthy range for my height and I am ridiculously flabby around my middle section. I have a buddha belly haha.. It's a nightmare to shift and I think I'm having to work harder than I think others would. I've seen people the same height as me who are…

Thanks! You could pick him up.. he's heavy mind! He doesn't mind being picked up at all I do it all the time. He's such a little softie I actually stand and cradle him like a baby sometimes. I didn't realise just how timid he was until I went to pick up my sister's cat and it nearly clawed me to bits haha

I named my cat Lionel after Lionel Richie :) He was so cute when he was a little kitty! - Now he's a big beast!

Let me know what they're like! I don't think we're able to order them yet in the UK :(

2 litres. Might be low compared to others but it's good for me. I hated water and I never ever drank it until I started working out last year so managing to get 2 litres in is still quite an achievement!

I usually start on the stairmaster on my cardio days. I switch between 1 minute on level 6 then 1 min level 12 for 15/20 minutes. Definitely think it helps with toning the legs!

Cheat days are the reason I've bounced up and down between the same 4lbs for months! I really struggle on the weekends.

I love eating the fat off meat - the fatty bit off steak that most people trim off and bacon fat are my favourite! It totally grosses my gf out. I feel that it's rank that I like it so much cos I know it's bad. I try not to do it but yum.

I remember from a very young age (like age 10) saying that I never wanted children. Probably because my Mum always drummed it into me to never have them and that I would regret it. As I've got older I've warmed to the idea and now I couldn't imagine living my life without ever having children but I've never particularly…

Yeah totally! It goes straight through me I can smell it like an hour after I've ate it haha

That looks amazing!

Hey everyone! Just started the guide again this week. I've done it before and got up to week 6 and I loved the results. Add me if you're doing the guide :)

Thankyou very much. I've always been uncertain about my future but for the first time I'm starting to feel like I have some kind of direction :)

I remember when I got my tongue pierced and I was told I would probably struggle with solid foods for a while. My sister got hers done the same time as me and was eating KFC the next day and I struggled for a week. On the plus side I got to eat lots of ice cream! But it was no fun going out to eat and having to order soup…

Oh gosh that must've been really rough on her, especially after losing her parents after such a young age. I hope she's okay now! Luckily there's only been a few incidents where my Gran's been abusive but I know it can turn some people really nasty. Thanks but I really can't see it. I have some very selfish family members.…

I save the extra calories for snacks. I always try to have quite a late dinner and then a snack right before bed. I couldn't stand going to bed even the tiniest bit hungry. It used to be chocolate and I would just work it into my calories but lately I've started having greek yoghurt with berries and honey and that…

I promise if it all gets too much I will seek extra help! I get up to 6 weeks respite a year which has been helpful. I've had two week long breaks recently. It is hard trying to balance my caring responsibilities with having a social life and my relationship but it seems to be working okay for the moment. I have no doubt…

I have a scar on my leg off when I got hit by a lorry when I was 10 years old. Don't cross the road infront of buses folks! I also have quite a visible scar on my foot. Someone in a club mistakenly stood on my foot and they were wearing stilettos. It literally pierced the skin and left a hole in my foot. I was bleeding…

That's so lovely of you to say thankyou. It really made me smile :) I'm glad it all worked out for your cousin! It's great he was able to take his negative experience and turn it into something positive by helping others. I think I probably will end up going down the care route. It is something I've been contemplating and…

I'm definitely not a saint. Believe me I've snapped a fair few times. You shouldn't feel like an awful person. It's a really hard thing to deal with. It's one of the most awful diseases and it's so hard to see someone deteriorate in front of you. I don't think my Grandma knows who I am sometimes but it's funny because she…

Aww thankyou! I never really give it a second thought. You hear all of these horror stories about the way older people get treat in care homes so I want her to be at home and comfortable in her own surroundings for as long as possible. She was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer a few months ago and they have decided not to…

The stairmaster for 15 minutes then the treadmill because I prefer to do my resistance/kettlebell training at home.

Yep, give them to charity. I had a wardrobe clear out not too long ago and gave away 10+ pairs of shorts. I'll be gutted if I ever put the weight back on cos I'll have nothing but sweatpants to wear!

I've finally caught up. It's only taken me forever! Some confessions - 1. On the subject of shoplifting, I was caught doing it with a friend when I was 11. We only used to steal little things like lipglosses etc. One day we got brave and filled a carrier bag up with face masks, foot scrubs and chocolate and got caught by…

I confess that after a very long hiatus I have spent my day trying to catch up with this thread and have read 70+ pages and still I'm only up to page 560 :( I'm too scared of missing anything to skip to the end.. But I'm hoping I'll catch up and be able to join in one of these days!
