I'm allergic to my FitBit - what can I do?
Hey guys. I won a FitBit in a Weight Watchers competition and I love using it. However I'm allergic to whatever it's made out of and broke out in a nasty open rash that took a month to heal. I want to use my FitBit though! Has anyone else had this reaction and found a way to overcome it? Is it possible to coat it with…

LADIES - let's talk backless shirts for a second
I have actually just found the most gorgeous shirt I've ever seen. It's vintage-style, beige with puffy sleeves and an open back. But I can't go outside without a bra on. What else can I do??

Can we just talk about skin allergies for a sec
Hey guys. I'm at my absolute wits end with an allergic reaction I keep having. I cannot get a test because the doctor says the allergies need to be worse to qualify, but in my opinion my reactions are pretty darn bad. Basically, I have them on my face and my skin goes red and very puffy, then oily, then extremely dry and…

Mysterious rib/under breast pain - anyone else get this?
Let me just say first of all that I have been to a doctor about this, and apparently there's nothing wrong, but I'd like some input from a community who are body-aware. :flowerforyou: I get this pain every now and then, I'm not exactly concerned because this is regular for me and as I've noted, my doctor wasn't worried…

WiiFitU - who's tried it?
Hi guys! My partner and I just halved in for the Zelda WiiU bundle, came with Wind Waker. :happy: Anyway, I've been considering purchasing WiiFitU, but I'm not sure how effective it is or if it's even what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is something that will have an acceptable calorie burn, nothing massive just…

Hairstyle help
I'm wanting a vintage style for my hair, something from 40s or 50s. I'm really into curls, I use 1.5 inch rollers and such most days. My problem is that I can't find any websites with pictures of hairstyles like this. I need a picture because I just moved to Germany and I can't speak German yet, so showing the hairdresser…

Mechanical vs digital scales
I used mechanical scales back when I lived in my old apartment. Now I'm crashing with my parents for a few months until I move to Germany, and I've been using their digital scales. They don't read the same thing. Digital: 9st 6/5lbs (fluctuates between the 6 and 5) Mechanical: 130lbs/59kg (which is 9st 2.9lbs) What one…

Swimsuit shopping... HELP
Okay, I'm sure many of you guys have been in a similar position. I'm about to buy my first swimsuit. Ever. And I know it seems like such a simple task but it's pretty scary to me, and I'd love some input from people who have also lost a lot of weight and are changing their wardrobe. Does anyone know where I can find a…

To all you people nifty with a needle!
Does anyone know an easy way to re-size a dress? I've tried Google of course but I get all these tutorials on like, cutting them up first and sewing them back together and I do NOT trust myself to do a good job of that. I only want to take my dresses in about 2 inches at the waist, and maybe take the length up on another…

"You'll always struggle with food."
Hi guys. I was talking to a customer at my work on Saturday, and he and his wife were asking about my weightloss. I told them how much I'd lost, in how long, what I did to lose it blah blah and then he said to me: "Well done, that's brilliant, but you'll struggle with food for the rest of your life now." I kind of blinked…

Ripped in 30 WEEK 3??
Hallo! I just did day 1 of RI30, week 3. Is anyone else on this level right now or has Ripped before, and would you perhaps like to add me? Today was a whole new level of pain - for the first time ever, I almost, ALMOST cried during the workout. I'm doing it again tomorrow though, I will finish this thing and I will wear a…

I can't make a straight leg?
Hi guys, I'm about to start level 3 of Ripped in 30 and I'm having a blast. I love it. But I worry a little because I can't make my legs as straight as Jillian or her two helpers can. I know that Shelley is super flexible, as is Basheera, but even Jillian (who said she isn't very flexible) can make a straighter leg that I…

Ripped in 30
Hi guys, I'm about to do Ripped in 30 for the first time. Now, I have a good idea of what to expect - I've completed the 30 Day Shred three times so far so I know what Jillian will probably do to me. However, I was wondering if anyone had some results pics? I have some loose skin I'd like to lose after my loss, which was…

Embarrassing problem with sit-ups!
Hey guys, I have a slight problem that's rather embarrassing to me. I was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions. I love sit-ups. I can do as much as 100 in one sitting, and I feel so refreshed afterwards. They're really something I look forward to as I work my heartbeat up during cardio. But recently, I've been…

Facial Creams and Healthy Skin?
Hey guys, got a question for those who like to pamper themselves! A bit of a random question here I know, but I was wondering if it's time for me to start using light anti-aging creams. I'm 23, and I do have faint smile lines at my eyes. Now I know 23 is young, and I do moisturise a lot anyway, but my mother once said that…

Check your phone bill! Scam alert!
Hey guys. I'm making this topic for all of you in case the same thing happens to you. Basically, what happened to me was, I noticed I've been paying way too much on my phone bills recently. I called my provider today, and the girl on the other end told me that I've been receiving text messages from 60133, which is an…

Rice - changing back to white
Hey guys, I changed to brown rice, and I must say I just don't enjoy it as much as white rice. It's because of the texture - I buy Tesco's wholegrain brown rice and even when fully cooked, it feels like I'm eating lots of little seeds. I like my rice fluffy, and it seems I can only get this with white rice. Do you think…

Macaroni Cheese.
Okay, confession time... Mac 'n' cheese is my weakness. It was the first solid food I tried as a baby, and it's been a favourite ever since. I've recently been desperate for a bowl of it recently, but I can't find any good recipes that won't take up more than half my calorie allowance! Does anyone have any healthier mac…

Contraception and Weight Loss
Hey guys, I've seen a couple of posts about this over the last few days and I've been wondering your thoughts on it... Does the contraceptive pill hinder weight loss? I know that one of its listed side effects are "weigh gain/loss" but I've never really worried about it until I began to diet and work out. Edit: I'm talking…

Will I put this back on?
Hey guys, I've recently suffered from food poisoning, and it's been an awful experience but I'm slowly getting better. Out of this though, came one good thing - I finally broke my plateau. I've been trying for months and nothing has really happened. I'm trying to see this as the silver lining to my little mishap. Will I…

Neighbour hates it when I work out!
Hey guys and ladies, I'm doing the 30 Day Shred for the second time in order to be fit for August (I'm cosplaying at a convention lol), but when I'm jumping or doing buttkicks, my neighbour bangs his ceiling up at me. I must disturb him for those 20 minutes, but I really want to workout, so I've tried to reach a happy…
