What other less strenuous activity that can I employ to whittle down the waist. I need to stave off Type 2 diabetes. Those with…

I'm 29 and so may want to do some rather daring things....
Has anyone here done bungee jumping or skydiving. I'm wary of it but would like to try it. Thing is I don't want to look like some frazzled bovine dangling on a bit of rubber tossing her lunch everywhere. People always feel great after having done it...its just the stepping up to the platform. I'd need a colossal shove or…

I am watching The Matrix right now.
Personally if I had to choose, I wouldn't have minded being a machine.I mean for starters you would never have to diet again or go for a poop :) Maybe one day I might be able to squeeze into that black spandex suit Trinity wears. Whats your favourite sci-fi movie? Growing up I loved: Equilibrium Event Horizon Blade Runner…

Do you eat after 6pm?

However on the weeks that I do not eat after 6pm,coupled with exercise for 60 mins everyday,I find a steady weight loss of 2lbs.The only trouble is I…

I am starting just getting to the point where I'm afraid of what my scales might say and just dread getting them out. They are currently gathering dust under my bed somewhere. I'd rather have an uber embarrasing (but ultmately necessary) smear test in a crowded amphi theater with a huge screen projector than get on my…

Size UK16 and US12.Apart from planks what can you recommend
Hello all, I am currently 153lbs, 5'5" with a very small frame and really want to get rid of my thick mid section. I carry most of my weight on my boobs and belly but they have got to go. Planks leave my elbows sore so I rely on crunches and sit ups to help address that area. My next target is to lose a stone (14lbs) and…

Anyone else feel ashamed when they look at our peoples food
So far when I look at the people on friends list diaries, I feel so ashamed coz they are so good at eating the right foods, in the right portions whilst mine is shambolic.

Anyone here born in July and rather podgy?
Well I was reading an article a while back and it said people born in the winter months were more likely to be podgy and overweight in later life.Now this is obvious tosh and fantasy.I don't even know how such a thing can be quantified.... I was just wondering how many other summer babies are carrying a bit of podge like…

Sore hips
Does anyone else find they have sore hips after walking more than 6 miles per day? I am convinced I'm just losing weight from my hips and not really everywhere else.I felt the burn in my upper thighs and hip area but nothing in the torso area. I'm beginning my planks in a bit to balance this out.

Women larger than an H cup
When you lost weight did you find that your bra size went down even just a little? I'm still waiting on even the tiniest loss from the chest area.You'd think after 20 kilo's lost there might be even the slightest loss of fat from there. Any foods that you can recommend that might shrink the breasticles?
