I've often tried to find something that would indicate calorie burn from strength exercises so that I have a better idea when logging exercise/food allowance on MFP, but it's just such an unexact 'science' it must vary so much with the person doing it, their weight, the weights they are lifting, reps and so on, it'd be a…

Does 'telling it like it is' with a fat slice of sarcasm & dry wit count? .... I wonder what a fat slice of sarcasm would look like in cake form?! :wink: I'm 236, 136 would be cool... But then, so is ice cream ;)

Hey there, love to join you all, I'm Claire & 41 with 2 grown up kids. I pilled on the lbs after a series of bad lucks! I sustained multiple fractures to both kneecaps (sports injury ironically) in my teens, got diagnosed with OA a few years after. Then beer, rock pubs, children & takeouts happened >:) ... Then I gave up…

I've had OA in my knees for 20 years since a sporting accident when I was 15 (oa diagnosed at 21) ive learned to adapt to what my knees can cope with, we're all different though, I can go fast paced walking on a treadmill (not running, that hurts) I can also do elliptical and rowing machines comfortably, but can't do any…

I was getting comments from my friends about coming back and where was I, so yeah, I was making some form of conversation as it was a little quiet on here so thanks for making me feel irrelevant.

Chippy tea for the WIN! Have whatever you want then go for a walk after and have sex before you go to bed... the extra calories from the chippy tea will have been burned!

I get migraines too.... im on Sumatriptan, mine seem to be mainly hormone related, i get one biggie just before im due, one at the end of my cycle, and one mid cycle (egg releasing time i call it!) so frustrating and annoying, sometimes i do wonder whether its the migraines causeing the vomitting and nausea or its the damn…

Our Zakk also spends most of his time on his back showing off his rather large shiny balls... they remind me of Black Puddings... :laugh:

*Boot* :laugh: Ive got a tone of weight to lose, but i WILL do it, i am currently loving the gym, and im more hopeful that ever at this point in time... Ive been rake thin, average, a little post baby chunky, thin again, post baby chunky again and now... just very very rotund! no more feeling sorry for myself, no more just…

nommy!! I like to make my own, as a lot of shop ones are made with a butter based garlic topping... I buy a baguette (or ciabatta) chop up garlic cloves and parsley in a little extra virgin olive oil and use a pastry brush to spread it over the top of the bread and bake it... I sometimes chop up some fresh tomatoes and…

oh hell yes! How embarrassing is it when us women INSIST we dont fart... but if you eat these? its fart (usually loud) or crumple up on the floor from intestinal spasms!! My hubby said something top me last week... when caught out with a loud or pongy whiff... just smile, and say 'I did that' :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have an amazing, gorgeous Rottweiler, he is called Zakk (after Zakk Wylde from guitarist of Ozzy/Black Sabbath/Black Label Society etc) he is 5 human years old, and we rescued him from some dumb@ss who got him for a status symbol no doubt, couldnt look after him, and just kicked him around a lot... when we got him we…

I also make my own frozen ready meals... as in, When im making something such as a casserole, spaghetti Bolognaise or anything, if there is excess, instead of it going to waste, or being shared out, i put it in a container and freeze it, so that next time, when i cant be bothered cooking, its there ready for reheating - at…

Darrener here... Darwen is a little boil on the *kitten* end of Blackburn ;)

I cook a lot of meals from scratch - I do sometimes rely on frozen chips, but i also make what a lot of people refer to as slimming world chips. since being off work, i do a lot more cooking now and freeze any leftovers :)

its paying all that money that does my head in though, I just couldn't do it, im bad for walking outside, I've always been one for having a purpose for it, such as needing to walk into town to buy something, or visit someone, i cant just walk for walkings sake, its boring to me :( but I loved the gym before, and I've just…

Not in the funeral trade, it is quite specialised! however, i am on the brink of leaving my post in Forensics... feel free to add me if you fancy a chat about stuff :)

where did he get those trunks?! Mothercare?? I had to go and calm myself down after that! :laugh: :smooched:

1. Where were you born? Darwen in Lancashire 2. Where do you live at the moment? Still in Darwen, but lived in Blackburn (next town along home of Blackburn Rovers) in my childhood 3. Where else have you lived? Just here - haven't managed to escape - yet! 4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? I…

oh how grim! i dared to weigh in... 3lb gain over my holiday - i guess its not that bad! i know people who've put on almost a stone (usually through all that booze) but luckily i dont drink alcohol so at least that was one major temptation i didn't have to contend with!

Im just a Geek... ill watch Big Bang Theory over and over! other than that, its my murder/forensics/crime programmes that i've recorded! Thats if im having a day off... i currently work from home, I am a self employed Corsetier but i also flog stuff on ebay to keep me going, if you need any rock/goth stuff or even want a…

Lady next to me on the running machine earlier could have done with one of those... she almost had my eye out at one point... :laugh:

I understand that a lot of you may get bored and tired or explaining the whole protein shake thing, but some of us are just curious, want to understand how it works and so on without having to dig through pages of threads (saying as this forum is very fast moving!) My understanding (sparse that it is) is that protein is…

We all have days (and days in a row) like this - I am! Im hacked off at myself as i had a splitting migraine this morning and couldn't walk straight let alone go to the gym. i punish myself, could i have forced myself to go? was i really that bad? if im honest, yes i was, but it doesn't stop me beating myself up over it. I…

I used to work for BT (Telephone call centre, not public facing) and they tried to enforce a dress code but they had no clue! a few they tried were: # Men could expose their tattooes but women couldn't # Trainers were permitted so long as they looked new, once they got scuffed, they were not permitted # Night shift workers…

I wish! I live in England... its always cold and raining here! :grumble:
