Overactive Thyroid
Hi everyone, I hit my goal and then some extra about two years ago, since then my health has taken a turn, first with Lyme disease, then a total burn out from work and now am overactive thyroid. Following a hospital stay I'm now on the correct medicine but both my new meds can cause weight gain. Carbimazole and beta…

Sneezing
After exercise, whether inside or outside, I start sneezing and it doesn't stop for hours. If I have a shower immediately after my run, it's fine, but I walk home after so showering is futile and the sneezing starts on the way back. I'm the only one in the group it happens too, I joke that I'm allergic to exercise :wink:…

30 Day Shred starting 18th of July
Funny, I couldn't even spell that correctly, this is definitely for me ;) Yep so I'm gonna give that beast a go, starting tomorrow. Anyone doing it or thinking of starting, I'd welcome the company. Never used a tv workout before, will be an interesting experiment. Footsteps in my house echo like hell, just walking sounds…

Tim Burton
I love Helena Bonham Carter, but I wish Tim Burton and Lisa Marie got back together so he would make amazing films again. Dark Shadows is embarrassing, I wish I'd stuck to my gut and stayed away. I know he has made a few great things, and one of his best in my opinion, Big Fish, since he and his muse split up. But Big Fish…

Kale Crisps
I'm a sucker for crisps (aka chips). I love them.And I just tried out something I was always skeptical of - baked kale crisps. I thought they were intensely delicious. I do love cabbage too though, these do still taste of cabbage, and the texture is impossibly light and crunchy, so good. If you wanna try, take a bag of…

Help a girl dress to compliment her body type?
Completely useless regarding fashion, and I always look around and see women dressed to really compliment their figures. I don't know how to do that. I think I look fine, then I see a photo, and I look weird. I don't even know what my body shape is, when I type in my measurements I always get different results, pear,…

Vegan Dinner Party!
I'm not looking for any criticisms and not starting to cause conflict, I'm having my boyfriend's uncle and his wife over for dinner tomorrow night and they know they'll be served a vegan meal. They're getting a vegan meal because it's been talked to death, they can't understand how it's possible. And the nicest way to give…

1960s themed fancy dress; any ideas?
Suitable for a woman, me. I'm fairly short so most men ideas, like hulk, are unattainable :( Waaaaa. Gonna try and find a smart black knee length dress and make my hair as neatly massive as possible, unless I can think of something better. Refuse to buy a costume on the grounds that they always loo tacky and cheap looking…

Baldness
Everyone talks about bald men; I'm curious what men think of bald women? Either ladies who've lost their hair through natural means they had no control over, maybe they wear a wig, or ladies who have shaved their head because they want to. I'll hit it off by saying when I had my head shaved, I actually got more positive…

A new approach
Frustrated with my slow weight loss (Lost the bulk of my weight about 4 years ago, have been this weight for three and a half years now, I'm back here to lose that last 10lbs), 1lb in two weeks. It's proving much more difficult this time. My new approach is that I've taken my first set of measurements! I hope I see some…

Has anyone else got painfully cold feet?
I do!! It is cold here, but even in summer my hands and feet are always cold, and always have been. My hands don't bother me, they warm up sometimes and get very hot and swell a bit, but my feet go numb and then get painful and the only way to get them warm is to have a foot bath. It's only this bad in Winter. Good socks…

Haven't been here in 2 years, still the same weight :(
Hi hi you could call me a newbie since I have no friends and have not logged on since I started the account. Mmmmhmmm. I've been between 10 and 10 and a half stone for three years now, before that I lost 3 stone (42lbs). I want to be 9.5 stone, I've just never gotten that last bit off. I'm happy I kept the weight off so I…
