Worst Date Ever
Hey Guys, There's a thread in a group I'm in which has brought up some pretty funny replies so I thought I'd open it up to everyone!

Fish..if you don't like fish! :(
Hey guys! I keep getting told to put more fish in my diet but I can't STAND the taste or the smell. I can easily have some Tuna from a can, or some small prawns (seriously can't eat the king prawns I just find them disgusting) What fish tastes the most meaty and least fishy that's still good if that makes sense? Or does…

Stomach and food, might need some recipe ideas in here!
Right, Lost 9 stone in a year which was a bit too fast. As a result I ended up with a bit of a flabby belly.

random leg pain
Hey guys, I did a 100 mile bike ride yesterday for charity. It's the first time I've done that kind of distance (the closest being 60 miles in the same time I did the 100 in yesterday.) I was 9 stone heavier last year (126lb) so thought that's worth a mention for the fitness levels although I did a triathlon last week so…
