Sprained ankle
I just discovered running, I love it and I'm getting better and better at it. Until yesterday when I went over on my ankle and now I can hardly walk. The last time I sprained my ankle I was injured for weeks. Does anyone have any tips on how to speed up recovery? My running shoes are missing me.

Fitbit or similar
Hi guys, can I ask if you rate the fitbit at all? I'm one of those people who is motivated by numbers and lists (oh how I love lists) so as a way of keeping myself accountable on my aim to get fit and gorgeous, I'm considering getting an activity tracker.

Rejoining after I lost my baby
Hi, I joined a while ago and really enjoyed it here. Then I found out I was pregnant - it was a surprise but a very happy one!

My DH! Bless him!!
Yesterday my lovely husband bought me a big tub of ben and jerrys. ARGH!!! I LOVE Ben and Jerrys. I had a sneaky desert spoon full and hid the rest in the freezer (normally I'd have scoffed half the tub).

Night shifts
I'm a nurse and I work 2 nights a week which completely throws my eating habits. I find I either eat rubbish all night - loads of toast and biscuits at the nurses station or I eat virtually nothing. When I get home and go to bed (around 9.30am) I never know whether to eat breakfast before I go to bed, or to leave it and…
