Countdown to the big 4 - O!
So, it looks like my mid-life crisis is in full flow. Since March this year I have faced a marriage split, custody battle, house move (again - OMG!) I've left my job of 12 years, I've submitted my first assignment for a diploma in counselling (and passed-yay!) and I now have a new partner. So things have been kinda crazy…

Any techies please help - non fitness related!
Can somebody please have a look at my website and tell me how to use div tags? hubby has done my website, but we've had to do it the old-fashioned way, with boxes round the text because we can't get the div tags to work!! Anyone computer-savvy please help! www.severinatarot.com Thanks a million!

I ran my first ever 5k
Thanks to couch to 5k on the ipod I ran my very first 5km race yesterday for charity and raised nearly £400! I would never have been able to do it without MFP and C25K. My time was 33 mins 12 secs - 26 secs faster than my PB in training. Yay!

My fave picture from our party
We had such a fantastic time at the party last night - I would never have worn an outfit like this if I didn't feel so good about losing this weight, so thanks MFP'ers - you guys have changed my life and I love you all xxxx

Spotted a definite difference today
Yesterday, I had poached egg for breakfast and wasn't hungry until around 12.30. Today I had ready brek and was starving by 10.30. it always seems to be this way so I'm guessing protein for brekkie is the way forward?

I've made a commitment now..
Just ordered my party dress off ebay and it's a UK size 18 - Cinderella WILL go to the ball, although she might have to eat nothing but dust for 2 weeks to fit her bad boys in that frock!

Somebody slap me - please!
My brain wants me to eat stuff!

have to rest my arm for 2 days
So that rules out the gym for today and the weights section of 30 DS Any suggestions that don't involve running?!?!? Been referred for surgery as I have had golfers elbow for 3 years now. Doc has given me another steroid injection today which should hopefully tide me over till the NHS get their bums into gear!

treadmill joy!
I have been starting my warm ups at the gym on the treadmill. I do 10 minutes and I walk for the first two, then go up a hill (number 7) for the next one, then back down and try and run full pelt for the next 30 seconds then back to the beginning. Today I managed to run at 13.9km/hour for the full 30 seconds, and when I go…

The little things...
I tried on my outfit for the wedding disco ready for Sunday night. I wasn't sure about it so I sent the picture to my sister, who is well known for being very blunt and taking no prisoners. It was a body only shot. My sister texted me later with the message "is that you?" I said yes and she typed back "OMG how much weight…

Protein shakes - why?
Hi all, I notice that quite a few people on here are drinking protein shakes and was just wondering why?

Anyone grow their own fruit and veg?
I grow pumpkin, brocolli, potatoes and strawberries.

Clothing sizes - how annoying?
My friend has recently lost a lot of weight, she has gone from a UK size 16-18 to about a 10-12. Anyhow, she said the other day " I hope you don't think I'm being cheeky, but I have loads of clothes in a 16-18, and I know you are losing weight and wondered if you would like them - some have never been worn" I was chuffed…

DVD question
Ok, so here's the rub - I would like to buy a workout DVD for home. I can only afford to get one, so it has to be a really good - total body workout one and it can't be boring or I won't do it! What do you guys recommend? I like dancing, so was thinking something high-energy.

Anyone fancy a laugh?
I went for what I thought was my "induction" at the new gym I joined. Figured the bloke was gonna show me the facilities, take some measurements, show me how to do the machines etc. Noooooo! Turned out what I'd actually booked was a full-on, one hour session with a personal trainer! Some great big, scary-eyed Russian guy…

I actually got caught out at work and had to borrow from a colleague. I know I'm nor pregnant again, so anyone got any ideas if this could have anything to do with…

A little bit of philosophy
From my friend, who is 43 and has terminal cancer. "Nobody's problems are insignificant, because all problems are relative. My problem is that I have cancer. Your problem may be that you have no money, or no home, or a sick child. It may even be that your car failed its' MOT and will cost you to fix it, or that your roof…
