Jogging with weights
Does anyone do this? As in handweights not the type you strap around your wrists/ankles. I've recently bought some 5lb weights and wondered if its worth taking them out with me when I go for a jog.. Any thoughts?

how many times have you heard people say this to you? Do you think they mean it? Does it make you think you should stop? Or does it make you more determined?

May be a little risky posting this here
As its not really exercise and/or fitness. My question is has anyone used those Slendertone things? If so have you seen results and do they work? Any feedback on them would be useful :)

Who has your ultimate goal body?
Lets see pics! Mine is Jessica Alba.. She's 5ft 7 so a far bit taller than me (I'm 5ft 3), but she has the kinda body I'd kill to have by the end of my journey.. Love her stomach (I know its photoshopped but not far off in real life)

Who on MFP has your goal body?

At least 31lbs later:
Here's a shocker.. this first picture was taken about a year ago, maybe longer. This was before I started losing and was when I was in denial about my size. I must have weighed at least 165lbs.. although I wouldn't be surprised if it was more towards 170/180 without me noticing. This is a pic I took on my phone not long…

Too much water?
Is it possible? I had all of my stats checked last night and my body was apparently 55% water.. now i don't drink much, yesterday as an example i had a cup of tea, a starbucks coffee, and a 500ml bottle of ribena, and that is it. So the lady suggested it is probably water retention. So clearly.. i need to drink more as i…
