Swimming with a t-shirt on
Having done a google search plus a quick zip around the forums, I couldn't find anything definitive, so fingers crossed you guys may be able to give me some answers. I started swimming again regularly a few weeks ago. I love swimming, I really do- I can quite happily swim lengths for an hour +(and expect to go even further…

Local runs
Hi there. :) Whilst not from Lichfield myself, I am pretty close (Derby based here). I'm a massive runner, and do quite a few races in and around Derbyshire. Anyone else local here do any races themselves? I ran the Lichfield half a few months back (on a gloriously sunny day- I'll be back next year for sure, as the course…

Hand blenders/a blender for bananas (UK)
Right, my blender has just died. To be fair to the poor thing, it was a £4.13 jobbie from Asda, and for the last month or so I've put it through blending an awful lot of frozen bananas. To say it wasn't keen on blending those bananas would be an understatement, it made a right racket, but it did the job. Now, I really do…

Gymnastics
This may be a long shot, but I thought I'd post it anyway. In short- I'm a clutz, a complete and utter clutz. As a child I horse rode rather than went to ballet classes, I couldn't dance for toffee, could barely stand on one leg and I have to say, not much has changed fifteen years later. However, what has changed in the…

NSV- running!
I don't normally brag, but I can't help this time... I've not been able to stop grinning since I got back home: I managed to run 10k tonight in 51:23 seconds. I ran my first 10k a few weeks ago in just over an hour- which at the time I thought was pretty good, but tonight's run really is the icing on the cake. The run was…

Cooked Mince- how to input it from the database.
I bought some lamb balls from the butchers (which are basically lamb mince with a bit of seasoning), which I had with dinner tonight. Now, I weighed the balls before cooking them tonight- two balls were 250g. However, this is where the problems start, I skimmed all the fat off them as they cooked- and they ended up as 150g…

Advice about blisters on hands.
Sorry if this is a weenie bit graphic in advance. I went to the gym this morning and after an hour on various machines my hands really started to hurt. Queue me actually looking at them properly and I've developed a blister right at the base of every single finger on both hands just beneath the joint on the palm-side of my…

Hi there!
Hi there, I've been using MFP now for about a month, and have been browsing the forums for a while. I just haven't managed to pluck up the courage to say hello to all you lovely people! Well, better late than never, eah? I've been struggling with my weight for a long time now, I slapped on weight massively for various…
