How much do you weigh and how overweight are you? The bigger you are the easier the weight drops to start with. I lost about 21lbs in the first 7/8 weeks of my diet this time so yes, you can do it. BUT...be careful about being too goal-oriented as people do lose weight at different rates and it's easy to get discouraged if…

Sorry, our posts crossed! I'll check out that thread and your answer does help. Especially the part about the jello!

I'm still not getting it I'm afraid. To give another example when I broke my kneecap years ago it was in plaster on and off for months. That leg atrophied. Both muscle AND fat disappeared on just that leg. The rest of me stayed the same. So why wouldn't that work for abs?

I smoked for four years and then on Christmas Eve 2006 I just quit. Don't even really know why. Just didn't fancy smoking anymore. Since then I've had the odd social cigarette but even that's pretty much petered out over the last couple of years. My friends all hate me because they've tried patches, drugs, hypnotism and…

I specifically checked with the consultant that I wasn't doing any irreparable damage to my knees as that is very important to me too. He has said that he is comfortable that my running won't cause any further damage than would occur in any event. Having lost so much weight now has also significantly prolonged the life of…

I have a terrible knee, previous history of surgery, dislocations and massive breaks. I thought I could never run again. I finally bit the bullet and went to the consultant. He told me that if I can run on the mush that constitutes my knee and can cope with the pain, I wasn't doing any irreperable damage so I should do it!…

I actually really like the Slimfast ready made chocolate and banana shakes. When I started I was having two a day and a 600 cal dinner (I exercise in the early evening) plus snacks and the weight fell off. Slowly I started reintroducing food and cut down to one for lunch and still lost weight. Now I just use them as a…

If I'm having a rubbish day it can sometimes come out during exercise but I generally find it spurs me on if anything. Try just focussing on the emotion and using it to push you on.

H'ok - I think in all fairness I'm going to talk to him. Maybe I'll just ask him what the weird behaviour was about and then make up my mind if he's really a jerk-off based on his answer. I don't like game playing so I'd rather just have the awkward conversation and find out straightaway!

I'm a nervous farter...and a lawyer. My very first time in Court I farted. Silently but me and the Judge - we knew. I still won but I've always wondered if it was just so he could get out of the courtroom faster...
-
Basically - I made a pass at him - he did talk to me but it was pretty short answers and although he wasn't outright rude, it was clear he didn't want to talk to me. Not so bad in itself. But we go to the same gym and he then started really obviously avoiding me - turning in mid-walk, disappearing behind machines etc. I…

Ha! Hysterical. That sounds like a lot of fun. :bigsmile:

Ooo, I like that one. Mind you, that requires self-control and I haven't been so hot on that with the opposite sex of late... :blushing:

I sit in front of a window and I love fresh air. The other people in my office constantly moan about how cold it is. In freaking July. It drives me nuts! Oh, and my boss accidentally kicks the leg of my chair EVERY time he walks past it. I'm going to electrify that thing soon.
-
You look absolutely amazing - well done!
-
Holy crap - I just checked out the ozs to pints conversion (I'm British and ounces confuse me!) - apparently one pint is 20 ozs (or an American pint is 16 ozs). I easily drink 6 - 8 pints of water (with or without squash) every day, plus plenty of tea, coffee, milk and diet bitter lemon. On an average day I think I…

I've lost a huge amount of BF% and I run. My cardio is usually between 155 and 175 as well and if it's not, I barely break a sweat. I have to say I think running in the so-called "fat-burning zone" is a crock. It doesn't burn as many calories and I've NEVER seen it burn more fat on me that just straight cardio. I also…

I go with a ponytail and bobby pins to hold back the fringe if it's really annoying me. Friends of mine favour the headband though.

Oh no! I love my doctor - he's my little elf! Mind you...he didn't seem too impressed with my 70lb weight loss but still...he keeps me healthy and sane and he always listens - what more can you ask for!
-
Oooo....miaow! I'm pretty damn sizzling hot thanks very much!!! :smokin:
-
Thanks ladies and I will totally try a bunch of your suggestions but I do wish British guys had a bit more va-va-voom about them and wouldn't always be so shy and awkward (until they've had a skinful!). I guess I just fall down on the approachable side of it _ I genuinely don't get how to walk that fine line between…
-
I will definitely keep my eggs smooth - don't you worry! Thanks for the advice though - I just get fed up with always being the one with the biggest cahones in any room! I'm a lawyer and my colleagues are mostly men. I just know that even when I'm wearing killer heels and a lovely dress, they treat me like one of the lads…
-
All I can say is that I lost my back fat at around 170 - 175 so I guess keep on trucking and it'll go!
-
I used to suffer terribly from shin splints but would just run through them until I couldn't take the pain. All this rubbish about resting up never helped me. It seems to be the answer to everything now but I can feel my body getting out of shape when I do that. Anyway, I went out and bought a £100 pair of Asics which I…
-
just thought I'd check in to let you know that a few days post sunburn I've lost the phantom 4lbs plus one extra one so fingers crossed for you too!
-
I just came on looking for this! I've just come back from surfing for 4 days and although my diet wasn't perfect (some booze and chocolate) it also wasn't that bad. Plus I spent 6+ hours in the water each day surfing my *kitten* off and since I'm not that good, it's a pretty hefty workout! Couldn't understand why I seem to…
-
I sincerely appreciate the thought you put into this! Maybe my 5 is a little restrictive after all - I mean, where would I be without Chris Meloni, Daniel Craig, Ewan MacGregor, Vincent D'Onofrio (before the weight issues), Ralph Fiennes, Bruce Willis (still), Colin Firth (dressed as Mr Darcy of course), Anthony la Paglia…

Definitely not enough Maori men being included here. I love Maori men. Oh, and Fijians, Hawaians....hmmm... I definitely don't get to indulge enough - we need to get some more famous Maoris...
-
Yep - it's as the others said - your shoes are too small. I wear a UK7 in regular shoes and UK8 in trainers. Works fine - no more black toenails!

You could always tie them up... :smokin:
