  • No anything that gives you a "burn" builds muscle as long as you aren't getting rid of more calories than you take in. Things like yoga & pilates are great for toning without losing weight.
  • Yup I'm in :-) I want to be down to 145 & lose 2 inches off my thighs............
  • It's low in calories but it does have aspartame in it which has been been linked (but not proven) to loads of health risks including cancer. Do you drink water? Can't beat it for flushing out the toxins :-)

I think if you need to ask the opinions of strangers then maybe you know in your heart things aren't…
  • Being chatted up! If they fancy me when I'm sweaty, smelly & red in the face they must be desperate! I go to the gym to work out not to have a chat when I can hardly breathe :-/
  • I usually use sponge cake (with buttercream in the middle) as it's light enough to take icing without becoming a really heavy cake. Never tried such an ambitious shape though! If you put apricot jam on before covering completely with the icing it will stay moist for a few days & you can do the fiddly bits. You need to…
  • I have just read this post & all the replies to it. I am so so proud of you I got a little bit emotional!!!! Well done chickpea, you look amazing & so much healthier. Big hugs :-D xxx
