"You don't need to lose weight!"
Today I finally told my mum that I was being healthy again and trying to lose some weight. I had to tell her since I'll be going home for 4-5days and she was asking me what food I wanted. Which then brought on the whole "why are you trying to lose weight? you don't need to" (Just fyi, this is not a new thing).…

Jillian Michaels suggestions
So, I've just bought 30 day shred after having seen all the topics about it here and a friend trying it, the difference already is amazing (In her, my dvd hasn't arrived yet...)!

Hand swelling during exercise (?)
Firstly, before i run onto the question part, i just wanted to do a little happy dance. Before i started using MFP and trying to be healthy again, when i was bored i would usually snack on something and stay sitting in front of my computer or whatnot, and would end up feeling so guilty and urgh about myself. BUT NOT TODAY!…

A decent low calorie alternative to water
I know people say water is the best thing to drink, whether on a diet or not, however i find it really hard (sometimes i literally have to force myself) to drink enough water as i actually hate the lack of any flavour. I seem to crave flavour in anything I have, however finding a good alternative has been really difficult,…
