    Hope123: Sorry I haven't written back before now, I haven't been on minimins, updated or anything. Thank you for the advice on water, I think it may just be the best way, to have it with meals and while exercising. I have both the superbody workout and the power of 3, I find the former a bit too...

    Living With Parents - Help!?

    Thank you Emmaline! It's lovely to have the support here, bless her my mum does try, saying every couple of months that she'll try lose weight with me... and I shouldn't be so hard on her, but a few days later she's given up on exercising and is tucking into a take-away. I end up getting a bit...

    Leona was always being criticised for not having a personality... for being quiet. I don't really remember her being too confident to be honest, or maybe that was just my view of her :confused:

    X Factor

    I can't stop listening to Rebecca's cover of Fireflies by Owl City. I absolutely adore it! She's an intriguing character... very shy. Hope she gets far... she reminds me of Leona Lewis, her being a bit of an underdog aswell. I too am surprised that Cheryl put Katie through and not Gamu... as...

    Living With Parents - Help!?

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering how people dealt with living at home with their family who always have high fat/high calorie temptation everywhere. I've been finding it so difficult, especially when I'm stressed, bored or tired not to binge on everything in the cupboards. There's always a...
