I don't think most strength training gets your heart rate up high enough for long enough to burn enough calories to log.

DON'T spray hair spray at your eyes! There are warnings on every single can, it can make you blind! Get a decent waterproof mascara and it'll stay on even in a swimming pool! And yes, we did test this theory in order to be able to say it. I have no idea what my sister uses but it stays on forever until you use make-up…

Woah! Paranoia much? Not only do I not think it's wrong for men and women to use these terms, I think it's perfectly natural that they do. For example, in Yorkshire (UK) ****, Duck and Love are commonly used terms. Just because my other half calls the woman down the road Love, does not mean he's in love with her, and just…

General rule of thumb in our house is always bring your own. For parties, having a couple of people over is mostly different except for games night and energy drinks. Bring your own drinks, bring something for the table. It's only fair.

I think it's good that people are accepting more natural figures. Curves are good and overweight is still bad, but there's more understanding for people with disabilities (seen or unseen) being overweight. And that's a good thing, so many girls (boys too, but it's mainly girls) have NO body image, they're shown from…

I rode my bike, roller bladed, climbed rock faces with no safety equipment, walked to and from school (If you saw our hills you'd know why that burned so much) and regulary danced, plus I had a paper route at one point which was killer!

I second the advice to add some strength training now. Your body will thank you for it. It will make it easier to do the high cardio and it will prepare your body for when you want to increase that strength training. I don't know why so many people say "I'm going to wait until I loose weight to add strength training" Why…

Good, who the hell thinks "Oh I don't need to even look at the road, I'll just read and write on my phone"? I get the whole talking on your phone is no different from having a passenger in the passenger seat, but texting? Come on, you don't read a book while driving? And you don't write your thesis while driving, logically…

I would love to be able to eat fruit and veg!

When I was younger I was insanely hyper. My parents took me to the doctors and he diagnosed me as allergic to e-numbers(20 years on that's a load of BS I'm actually the poster child for ADD) and gave my parents a lit of what I wasn't allowed to eat. Now, if you've ever looked up what e-numbers are in foods you will know…

I don't generally have this problem. I have severe food phobias and have done since childhood so even people who have known me my entire life always ask me before they start cooking. I feel really bad about it sometimes, I went to my best friends house, well her mums as she's currently between houses and her blessed mother…

I very rarely drink soda at all, which is a miracle for me. I used to drink those big 2L bottles by myself in about an hour. I stopped buying it. Can't drink it if I don't buy it. Same with anything else I struggle with. Ice cream is my biggest vice, that's hidden at the bottom of my freezer, by the time I've taken…

I was wearing 5 inch heels at 14. I see nothing wrong with the size of the heel so long as they can walk, so long as the shoe itself is appropriate. But then, at 16 I was in college and parents don't really have any say over their childs dress sense when the child is working, buying their own clothes with their own money…

My fiancé and I met on plenty of fish. There's a lot of idiots on there though and I'd almost given up hope of finding anyone...in fact I'd almost given up hope of finding anyone that could actually spell and was usually greeted to a barrage of messages saying "u lk hwt wna meet" and other such nonesense. I actually…

Sit down with her, explain it thoroughly. Tell her she's a fantastic cook and that's why you know that if anyone is capable of accommodating your new eating habits, then she can.

It helps for about an hour until you drink some water and recover the lost liquid.

Personally, I wouldn't have mentioned it either. It seems that as many people want you to compliment your weight loss, there are more who will turn any compliment you give them into an insult. So as a rule, most people avoid complimenting weight loss, especially if they haven't seen you in a while, until they know for…

Chesterfield here too Please feel free to add me

I plan to completely ignore it, this June is not the diamond Jubilee, I rather suspect it's been put here simply to merge with the olympics and con people out of more money. Afterall, a diamond jubilee and olympic year both happening at once? It may very well be the only time it does happen! I plan on taking the summer…

I'm the cute one. An identifier I hated growing up, but now I kind of like it.

If you're dreading the scales on Monday...don't get on them. Take your measurements instead. Chances are they'll either stay the same or dip marginally. Measurements are better for your moral than weight anyway, it gives a better idea of your progress. I know my weight varies depending on my bowl movements and where I…

Mines September the 8th, bought the dress and it fit perfectly then...I put on some weight from all the take-away my fiancé orders so now I'm desperately trying to work it back off before the big day. I've spent too much not to.

I agree wholeheartedly with this

Welcome from Chesterfield. And good luck with your weight loss.

I think too many and/or gaudy tattoos look disgusting, but I think that applies to men and women both. A tattoo that can be covered is good because sometimes they're not really appropriate, for example a black tie formal event where a woman is wearing a sweetheart neckline but her entire chest is covered in tattoos is not…

So long as you phrased it well I wouldn't mind. It's something I actually wish people would do for me. I have a food phobia but no one anywhere is willing to push me to get over it and so it remains there because sadly I'm too weak to get over it by myself.

Ok, so bearing in mind that it's been several years since I last did any real dance or yoga, I downloaded an app on my phone with yoga routines, fished out my fiancés floor mat and gave it a go. The breathing comes naturally to me because I've been dancing and meditating since I was 10 years old, and even though I haven't…

I wish I had one :P I wake up, tidy the house then I don't feel much like working out. I'm contemplating putting yoga in after coffee before starting the housework though. Something nice and sedate to just help wake me up with my coffee.

Depends how they lost the weight. If they lost through just dieting their results will look a LOT different than if they did a lot of strength training as well. For example, and this is my personal experiance. When I was younger and in college I did a lot of excercise due to dancing on a regular basis and doing performing…
