My son has AS - these sound exactly like the answers he would give! :laugh:

I'm veggie - I try to eat well but take B vitamins (B6 and B12 are the ones that can be lacking in a veggie diet) and iron just to be on the safe side- check the label, though - not all vitamin substitutes are veggie!

I've not put any tunes together yet but the thread got me thinking about what could go on there. Trying to think of stuff with a running beat! Off the top of my head.. Soundgarden - Rusty Cage REM - It's the End of the World As We Know It Kasabian - Fast Fuse Outkast - Hey Ya Rick James - Superfreak (it makes me smile…

Hello :) I have no advice concerning your question yet (my husband knew me for TWO years before he asked me out haha) but I am really interested in it for two reasons.. (a) I teach A Level English and part of that is studying body language (movement, how you stand, facial expressions, hand gestures etc) - over 80% of our…

I do love the way redheads stand out in the crowd. When I was younger I assumed the staring when I walked into a room was due to looking like a ghosty freak lol (and it probably was hehe) - now I like the looks I get as I recognise something very different and appreciative ..:wink: I also like it when I go to Dublin -…

I suspect the shy ones are reading about everyone else having nekkid time and have chosen to keep quiet...

I used to do the double bra thing for my DDs but last month I bought a Shock Absorber Level 4 for C25K and it's GREAT. Also use it for Kinect Dance Central and Fitness Evolved with no probs. I am also lolling at the fellas reading this thread about jiggling boobs. Enjoy!

As a natural redhead who was picked on at school by for having red hair, I find it very interesting how many of my male friends from school who all went for the blondes have since married redheads or have admitted that they found me attractive....seems it's not cool to admit you like a redhead in the teen years when peer…

It's not that people are 'unable to process milk' it's the treatment we give to milk which makes it more undigestable - see my post above about homogenising. This intolerance of milk is a recent thing. As I also said above, I'm not a fan of the dairy industry but too many people are saying dairy is 'bad' for you.

This to me seems to be more an argument for vegetarianism than veganism? Am I reading it wrong?

Two things regarding the dairy debate. Bear in mind I DO drink milk and eat veggie cheese although as a veggie I feel very uneasy about it simply becasue of the farming methods and particularly separating cows from calves very early and the routine cull of millions of male calves as they are not useful to the dairy…

I think that if you feel you are depriving yourself too much then you may not stick to the plan - that's certainly how I feel. I would rather eat cheese and walk an extra mile with my dogs to burn it off, than not eat cheese, feel miserable and deprived and give up! All about portion control - I do weigh it to make sure…

I also live in England and usually drink 3 cups of tea a day (although it is decaf and I don't have sugar, just a bit of milk.) What I do is have an item on my snack list that is '3 cups of tea with semi skimmed milk 'and I add it every morning as a habit when I add my breakfast cals as I KNOW I will drink at least that!…

The (very simplistic) way I see it is that everyone has the same amount of fat cells, but if you eat tons of fatty food then you fill those cells up. If you reduce the amount of fat/ work out to burn it off, you reduce the size of the cells. I have only been doing this for a couple of months. I used to look at people who…

I went to the Download festival and would have found it pretty hard to keep on track. I didnt eat or drink tons, honestly, but I will say I put on almost 5lbs over the three days which took me nearly two weeks to get rid of. Some of it of course was water retention caused by drinking alcohol and eating high sodium food…

Hello, I just started using endomondo and have sent friend requests to people who have put their user names on this thread:) I'm Esty Wood on endomondo :flowerforyou:

If you get some of the better chocolate that has a higher cocoa percentage (such as Green & Blacks) then I find you only need a sqaure or two of it to get your 'chocolate hit' so drastically reduce the calories :)

I just *liked* :flowerforyou:

I used to be a VERY picky eater and I would just like to throw something else in the mix for those people who say 'grow up and eat it.' There are some medical conditions such as Asperger's Syndrome where all senses are heightened. A bit of curry powder feels like your mouth is on fire. Mashed potato feels like it is…

You do look fabulous! I have dresses in that style and love them - that colour is GORGEOUS on you!:flowerforyou:

(Edited to say I've just noticed how old this thread is, so not even sure the OP is even following it any more!) I wonder what is going on behind the scenes here as well. The sensible people are posting openly on here - I am very worried that you might be getting support in private messages from the pro-ana people. Or…

I'm on Wk 2 of C25K. I run at 9.30 after I take my son to school. I go to a local nature reserve which is near my son's school so I get to see the birds and squirrels and bunnies which is great :smile: I tried a gym a couple of years ago and didn't like it. It felt so pointless. I'd rather do some gardening or dog walking…

Liverpool, England. Lived in Albany, NY for a while, years ago.

Well done everyone:) I don't usually post NSVs but since you asked... I am wearing a fitted shirt today that I haven't worn for about 5 years as I had too many spare tyres even when standing up:smile: I can now run for two whole minutes on C25K:laugh: OH keeps saying how noticeable the weight loss is. I've lost this much…

So sorry that things have been so bad for you :flowerforyou: The trick about two pairs of socks for blisters is right! I have always done this when walking my dogs/ hiking/ running and never get blisters. I don't have a HRM AND I eat all my cals back as I know myself and if I feel starving I won't stick to it. I find MFP…

Thanks everyone :) I do sometimes eat a salad for lunch but I do miss bread if I don't have it. Probably just years of thinking it's not a real lunch if it's not a butty :laugh: :tongue:

Slow progress for me at the moment as I work as an exam marker and for those three weeks at a time (which I'm in the middle of right now) I have very little time to do any exercise other than walk my dogs for an hour a day. I make time for C25K by taking one of the dogs with me but that is only every three days. Not only…

I crave carbs at that time so I just eat more and exercise more to use up the calories. I don't believe in going hungry when you are eating healthy, I think it makes you feel deprived and you can lose willpower.

I can't believe no-one picked up on my John Lennon joke ...give peas a chance......geddit?? Ok, I won't give up the day job :tongue:

I went to a festival and managed to gain 5lbs in a weekend BUT it came off fairly quickly :) It was down to water retention (TOM), eating high sodium food (more water retention) and drinking alcohol. It took two weeks to get rid of so it can be done and won't take you another 4 weeks like last time. It was messages from my…
