:D Believe it or not I've done it again yesterday, picked another route somewhere in Surrey, for 16 km this time. But that was it, back to work today or my job will change in farmer or something.. Found it rather difficult to keep my PP day out there, while my husband was having: Snickers...

Hey welcome, that sounds a bit like my story.. Size 8, baby, than fight to get back there.. Good luck!

Cool, easier than I could hope for! ;) Thanks! Now another Muller-related-question: can anyone explain me what muller yogurts you can have and why are they ok compared to others? I can't find the coconut one yet, but the toffee one that appears in some of the Dukan recipes, says it 8g carbs/100g...

How do you add oat bran to yogurt? Simply as it is or you pre-cook it or soak it or something?

Thanks for messages, is really nice to see people out there. :) And wow you made it for so long, I can only dream.. :eek: I am more of a short-term resistant type, I could probably make it through attack for two weeks, but than that's it! All strength vanished. Maybe I try a different approach...

All right, so I read the book.. FAQs and Tips.. Survived 5 days of attack.. I suppose it's about time I opened a diary :) So hello everyone, I am the annoying little creature who's yo-yo-ing around 12 pounds up and down; the ones that make the difference between me looking really nice and...

I am in day 5 of attack and was wondering if to prolong it maybe 2 more days. I found out about calculating days on the website, I did so and now I am confused. First of all the guy is way more ambitious than me :D He seems to be suggesting a very hmm abrupt number. I put 53 kg there, although...

I mean this in the most empathic, "I've been there" way, but God this sounds so desperate! :8855:

This can hardly be considered a meal or a recipe, but did the trick for us today: 150 g mushrooms, sliced 25 g shredded cheese 2 garlic knobs, chopped in small pieces Mushrooms in an oven tray, sprinkled some water, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, left for 10 min at 200 degrees in the oven, added...

Hehe congratulations! I was thinking about you today when I saw it rained a little.. Super achievement!

Now with other things I feel like posting in this chilly Sunday afternoon.. One is about me and my weight losses. I know that to many people I must sound quite annoying because in essence I am struggling between a size 10-12 down to a size 8-10 which is what I want to keep. I do realize that...

Feel like rambling, so I guess that's the best place to do so. So, I'll start with a little update and than follow-up with other specific stories.. After my March-April Exante I stayed for about 3 months on the same weight, without special efforts to do so. I know 3 months does not sound like...

Guess what.. 5 days later I reached the same incredibly dark sticks.. Drinking all my liquids religiously. I think that last time when I was on Exante I got bored after the first few days, and didn't check the ketosticks again. Anyway, I stopped being worried, I am posting just in case someone...

I don't know guys, my goal is to be a normal person afterwards. I won't always pick a boiled egg with leaves instead of a roasted lamb.. I am thinking that I'll have a smaller portion of that roasted lamb, or if I had one today I'll eat light for the next two days, things like that. I can't...

I never checked that section of the website, interesting.. Can any of you see a difference between these two pictures? Selina

Might be the bars perhaps? I think people with bigger loses avoid them, at least at the beginning, but might be just my impression...

I am a restarter too, seems like there are a lot of us ;) Well, for some reason I don't feel so bad about this, after all I am back here, right? I could have said something like.. what's 10 pounds extra, I still look acceptable.. And than 10 pounds more and than another 10.. Good luck!

Cool, welcome back!

I love swimming too! Finally I found a very nice pool close to work, so I am now doing a quick swim (about half an hour, 45 mins) daily, in my lunch break I find it hard to alternate styles though, because I can't really wet my hair or wear a swimming cap, I still need to go back to work...

Thanks for the tip, was great.. already swapped and received 7 books! Works great.

Well, for the first few months, when I ate reasonable (pretty much anything, just not excessive) everything was fine, weight kept off. When I went crazy during my holiday.. well, what can you expect really?! But still, I did not get all the way up to where I was or more, I started dieting...

Hi thanks.. he drinks exactly 2 litres, sometimes more.. on the other hand I barely make it to 1.5l and I am in the lightest pink. Well, I suppose we are all different in the end..

My hubby and I started Exante TS four days ago. For him this is the first time doing a VLCD, today he complained he's hungry and weak, so I suggested that probably he's not in ketosis yet - however when he checked with a stick, it was the darkest color, I did not even know that is possible to go...

So.. I have been around here, on Exante in April-May, with good results, at that time my goal was to look good for Jamaica holiday in July. And then it was the all-inclusive holiday....... :mad: And every since I returned I am thinking.. today I will start again.. today.. today.. :sigh...

Thanks, NeedsMotivation, I did set all the stuff there.. I guess I'll just trust the monitor and see.. :) MartinD, I did some reading when I bought mine, it's basically a mathematical formula that takes into consideration sex, age, weight, heart rate. I assume is a pretty accurate statistical...

I recently bought a Polar FT4 and I find it mind blowing.. I used to count calories with my xbox and now I am completely confused. On xbox Your Shape one hour of continuos seriously sweating cardio workout (that is more than an hour and a half including breaks between exercises) was nearly 200...

I am maintaining, for about 6 weeks now, and very happy about it. I remained on the weight I had when I finished it, although I did not go through special restrictions :ashamed0005: I wanted to initially, but I couldn't make up my mind which (low cal, low carb, both etc) so eventually I just...

Thanks for answers, are really helpful. I expect to gain some weight, I tried to aim a little lower than I need, so I can cope with this. I am researching still, my other options would be Dunkan maintanence phase or Weight Watchers/calorie counting. Thanks!

You cannot chose what you want.. And yes, buying them separately is approx double the price..

and done with my final 2 lb. Now let's see how will I keep them off.. Cybill - 14lbs Gemma - 23lbs Mini - 8lbs namaste - 14lb Chicken - 14lb Flab-buster - 19lbs Fabat40 - 16lbs (-4lbs) Carly - 16lbs Emily - 14 lbs Nearly30 - 16lbs Lozoo -10lbs 3lbs gone 7lbs to go notsoskinnymarge - 14lbs...

Hey, thanks. I am reading intensely at the moment, all these seem so complicated right now. I am amazed, feels like a whole new language :p

Hi all, I am looking for the best solution to maintain post Exante diet, which I will finish soon. I am very happy with what I achieved and obviously terrified that I might get it right back. I read the stickies and a few threads (I am totally new to the idea, did not know previously...

I am the same, but I will never eat breakfast, this is out of the question. Whenever I tried to do so, first I am miserable while forcing food in the morning, and nauseated and totally hating it, and than, 2 hours later I am absolutely ravenous.. And after that in another 2 hours and so on all...

This thread is really funny.. It's like one of those blindfold games.. where am I? where are you? where's Jubbly? :8855: Ok, getting back to serious stuff, personally I use two ways to focus on things I am interested: 1. Bookmark the forum in browser as Exante - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss...

Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! Go Slimply! :party0019:

Since I believe I am extremely close to my finish line, these are my before and after. I lost nearly 20 lb and it was down from 10-12 size to a steady 8, in nearly 5 weeks. I know that it may sound like initial weight and size were not that a big deal, but I felt really bad about myself before...

:gen126: :gen126: :gen126: Don't beat yourself up like this, the effects of a meal with low carbs like yours can even be surprisingly good; it can happen even to lose more weight than you did before (it happened to me and I've seen quite a few people around saying the same). hugs

.. I am back in ketosis

I am stubborn in calling my soups by their flavors. My husband laughs at me, asks me how I can tell them apart. :D

Woohoooo after 7 (SEVEN) days today I felt the signs of going back in ketosis, and they were confirmed by a stick. How is it going for you hadl86? Back on track?

A bit about I learned about soups so far.. - preparing them with blenders or any other automatic means of mixing will make them have foam on top, which is not very appealing for a soup - mixing them with a spoon will leave them creamy, without foam, but with small (not so bad) lumps - you can...

Great results.. You must be so proud!

Honk!

I used to be a Diet Coke girl, but after 3 weeks of intensive Coke Zero, when I tried one it seemed odd and sour and didn't like it anymore :)

May for me should end in about 10-14 days or when I lose 7 lb.. Let's see. Gemma - 23lbs Mini - 8lbs namaste - 14lb Chicken - 14lb Flab-buster - 19lbs Fabat40 - 16lbs Carly - 16lbs Emily - 14 lbs Nearly30 - 16lbs Lozoo -10lbs Nomoremuffintop -10lb notsoskinnymarge - 14lbs pjlucy - 14lbs hadl86...

It's kind of like Marge says.. We are all different. In principle is a no, if it has sugars/carbs, it means you shouldn't drink it. Anyway, I would wait to be in a stable ketosis before experimenting.. Good luck :)

When I started this diet, a month a go, I got into ketosis almost immediately, I believe in the second day. As far as I've seen for me ketostix worked flawless (maybe is a good batch) and showed constant ketosis over the first three weeks. Than I had a 3-day break over Easter, when obviously I...

The problem with juices of any type is that they have carbs/sugars in them.. For the Tesco High Juice Apple for example it says 3 g of sugars per serving..

I drink A LOT of Coke Zero.. it's almost all my liquid intake :o for me is fine, doesn't seem to affect my weight losses.. I don't see the big harm of some bubbly colored water with sweeteners.. ok, and a lot of chemical stuff lol

Well... Easter, that's what happened.. :rolleyes:

One medium apple is 19 g of carbs so it's kind of out of the question when it comes to low-carb diets..

For me a difficult day is one when the little evil thought that I could go for a little something (e.g.: yesterday-nachos) goes through my defenses, and sounds feasible. In all normal days is just soup-soup-soup and all other foods are absolutely out of the question. In a bad day I get images in...

Yuhuu nice balloon.. The (real) "6" is just around the corner..Congrats! You look fantastic :happy096:

Every 2 days or so.. I tell myself that it could be 2-3 pounds more than what I've seen last time, and that it doesn't mean anything, is just normal daily variations. Of course, if it happens to be 2-3 pounds less than I consider it as a total success lol

Honnnk!

My husband thinks that I am insane and that is all in my head.. I should show him this thread, I assume we are all having a mass delusion or something..

Yes, and wouldn't go for weeks.. I got kind of used to it and dress abnormally warm and that's it. The only moments when I am not cold is when I exercise with my Xbox Kinect ;)

I am currently jealous on my cat that seem to enjoy way too much (indecent I would say) her food. And I find myself thinking that it kind of smells good LOL

Wow that must feel so great! Congratulations! Goal jeans sounds like a great idea for me too, I think I'll go shopping :D

Mmm.. does Barking qualify for the Essex group? :D

lol sounds so funny.. I chew and spit food quite a few times per week, because I am cooking for my family.. and I still consider myself honk-worthy :D

Wow, congratulations! Fabulous loss, especially for week 6.. Good luck with next 7 weeks!

Sorry to hear it's not what you hoped for :( But obviously, everybody around here is right.. Some of the big losses during the first week (mine included) are mostly water and glycogen.. Sure, they look very nice and encouraging on a scale, but the minute you stray away from the diet are right...

And yeah, I am 5 lb heavier.. Nearly 2 weeks work gone in a few tiny days.. Well, that should teach me about going slooooowlyyyyy back to re-feeding, taking great care of what and how much. One kick in the rear.. Divalicious, sorry to hear about ferriprive anaemia :( Do take a break to get...

Honk!

Thanks all, it really makes more sense not to hide my head in the sand and face it. I will come clean with myself and see where I am. Thanks a lot, best advices, as always.

So, I've been on a three-days break and I'll be back on Exante tomorrow. Now what would you do: a - face the reality and go on a scale, see what's the new starting point and than weigh again in a week, as usual or b - don't go anywhere near the scales and weigh in a week time, when I...

I add fresh herbs.. Basil to the tomato soup, dill to mushroom, parsley to vegetable. I experimented with garlic in mushroom soup once, but it came out too strong. Oh, and Boullion to vegetable soup, but only a bit, or it will be too salty.

I actually miss Exante and I will cut my short my programmed time-off by one day. Regular food is not that interesting as I thought it will be ;)

Happy Easter everyone!

When this happened to me I put some food (mostly things I hate) on a plate and just kept it in front of me "for protection" :) I don't like to tell people I am on a diet, somehow I feel 20 pounds heavier in their eyes from that moment on

No, I realize that, is just that they seemed to me like one of the most reliable test strips I've seen (compared to ovulation, pregnancy etc). So I convinced myself that perhaps there is some other brand you're talking about (remembering also the topic about cutting one in FIVE which seems...

Amazing... :eek: Thanks.

We all had paracetamol and/or ibuprofen when headaches kicked in.. It may be a strict diet, but the sugar in the pill's coat is a bit too much not to have.. I also have my birth controls everyday and sure this isn't a problem either. Have your pills and hope you feel better soon!

I was wondering, since everybody is saying how unreliable the ketostix are.. Do we all speak about the same thing? Because I have KetostiX from Bayer, looking like the picture, bought from Amazon with £2.49, 50 sticks. And they have been always extremely accurate, showed ketosis when I am on...

I am in the half that's not doing it too, but made me curious when I first heard about it. Goes something like: "Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred is an awesome workout that will begin showing a difference in your body in about 5 days, and put you that much closer to a body like the super toned...

Great thread, I have so many random things in my mind and very reluctant in opening threads all the time.. I bought Clarins anticelulitis cream about two weeks ago and loooove it. Expensive but finally something that worth the money. Great help for body during diet :)

Yeah, the concert now was identical with the one in December on O2, they didn't change anything.. same lasers, same playlist, images on the background.. Sad though, I hope they'll reconsider.

Hey cybill, thanks! I've come to peace with the idea of a break. Have a great weekend too!

250-300 ml here too, small bottle is a good idea. I ordered a pack too and they announced the delivery on Tuesday, since couriers don't work on Monday.

Good luck! :)

No, doesn't have to be struggling in first week, for me first week was the easiest too, because I had a lot of enthusiasm and willpower to make me go through it. I found it more difficult later on, because of cravings and missing normal life, with the rest of the world. Anyway, is not like it...

I stopped writing around here since it felt easier to just leave day pass by unnoticed. And they did, is been 3 weeks and 3 days which at times felt a little harder, but I managed to save any rough spot with a soup and a can of coke zero. Two days ago I felt that long-gone feeling of being...

Thanks all, you gave me a lot of good ideas. I started reading about Slimming World, didn't know much about this before. I was thinking to set an interval of "acceptable" for my weight, something within 4 or 5 lb, and whenever the alarm-weight is reached than I stop and go back to the lower...

Honk for yesterday!

I don't know about this one.. One evening I figured it's fine to have just a little extra, since I was dying for something different than the soups, after nearly 3 weeks. So I had like maybe 5 spoons of yogurt and 2 slices of cheese instead of one of the soups. None of these were low fat, but...

Wow, really, did not know that. The little Splenda packs with powder are not the same?

Honk for yesterday!

I've been through 3 weeks of this diet so far and thankfully nothing wrong with my hair. Planning, like you to stick to it for a month. The other effects however for me were like a checklist, I've had them all.

I have chewing gum sometimes too.. Honestly, I still need to be around people, even if I'm on a diet.. No negative effects here either.

... because it's FRIDAY! :bliss: Happy birthday Emms! :birthday:

So.. I don't have relevant "before" pictures, since I pretty much stayed out of camera's way since I had my daughter, and remained with a flabby awful belly.. And that upset me the most so far, because my waist was always OK. Not the bum, not thighs, both have always been too big, but I was...

.. because whenever I felt down or a bit hungry I ran to the mirror to check my new waistline which looks great 14 lbs slimmer.. best incentive I had in a diet.. ever!

:character00100: .. Or nightmares, as you want to see it. I am sure we all fantasize about the end of this diet, when we'll be exactly where we hoped we will be, at the perfect weight, and free to live a normal life of meals and drinks like the rest of the world. And the dream is quite nice...

Well, I take the word less serious or offensive, it feels like it makes everything feel like a game. Winning, loses, rules, cheats.. You win when you lose and you lose when you win.. :D Easy as.. child's play isn't it? :D

LadyF, I've got a question since you've been on this diet a while ago.. How does it work with going back to eating regular food? Did you go back to eating the regular portion size before the diet? I am asking because at the moment I feel like I could eat very little in one meal, and wonder if...

Cool, thanks!

Hi, I'd like to join a team, please :thankyou:

Why are you buying/using these? Is it because the frequency changed, or because you don't feel right? I am asking because although my habits dramatically changed, I am putting this on the small amount of food and since I don't feel bad or "full", I don't bother. Should I?

I am planning to keep eating my packs even for Easter and I was wondering if anyone else around here will do the same? Could use for moral support. Thanks!

Day 7.. enthusiastic HONK!

Nice post, really helpful. About cooking and tasting when seasoning personally I taste a little and (yes, not very nice) spit it out afterwards.

Love the sound of this, the dress will be too loose.. :) Well done!

:clap: Great, you did it! Congrats! The more challenges you resist, the easier it gets ;) Try to eat your meal right before cooking, at least for me it works, I am more indifferent to the goodies I'm making. Keep it up!

Hi, I am no particular expert in this diet, only kept it for a week, but this problem is stated in their website: " Constipation seems to be the most common side effect of being on a VLCD. Often toilet habits change for a number of reason: as you are eating a lot less food there is less to be...

Tam tam tam tam tam :talk017: Today is one week since I started, so weighing day.. :scale: and is..... 11 lbs lost!!!!! :party0011: Bear with me, I will probably go around all topics in this forum and announce it :p

I like it a lot, feels like a good investment. I also have Dance Central and Adventures, and I can also variate the game. Unfortunately over the past two days I felt way too exhausted from eating nearly nothing to even consider sports. Tonight I'm back on track and recovering the time lost ;)

Sorry to hear you're struggling with headaches too.. I am in the same situation, mainly because I suffer from migraines , an this diet seems to trigger them.. Hope you'll feel better.

I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups I got soups :bliss: Back to normal now.. I think I will appreciate more having 3 of them a day after I found out what is like to survive with one...

Honk... Tired.

Oh and almost forgot, did a lot of shopping for this.. A more powerful milk frother.. A shaker.. The Bouillon everyone is talking about.. More flavored water supplies.. Well, if I'm not buying food at least.. :D And another point I'm proud of, today after having my tomato soup I cooked for my...

Thanks :) It's been quite a difficult day, I will really appreciate going back to 3 packs a day after this experience..... Just a bit of the vanilla shake :9529: and a tomato soup for me. And it came after yesterday, when I had half a bar and 1/3 of a shake... But tommorow back to normal...

Perhaps it's a special rate for London, who knows. Anyway I find it kind of steep, I get free next day delivery from many shops and for far larger parcels than this one.

Before starting I was very worried on how will I integrate this diet with the rest of my life (work, kid, going out). A few tricks that worked so far: - at work I got myself one of those handheld milk frothers and a cup with a lid with a sipping hole; like this it doesn't smell for people around...

You wrote all that on your iPad?!? Cooool... I don't think I get past a short text on a touchscreen.. Keep it up, and hope you'll like the soups ;)

Strange, I ordered yesterday and it looked like this:

:8855::8855::8855: I can imagine your cat running away with a straw in her (his) mouth around the house

Faithless on Friday.. The last concert ever :((

Way too much.. £6.3 and delivery through Interlink Express. I know a bunch of shops that use interlink and delivery is free..

Good luck, Chelle! Looking forward to see you around.

Honk 5

Hi Toots, thanks! I had about 1/3 of the banana shake, the rest will go down the sink. I absolutely prefer not to eat anything than continuing with the shake. Yuk! Can't wait for the delivery of packs (soups!) on Tuesday..

ok, now about putting the plan into action.. I started Wednesday, the 30th of March. Have been 100% ever since (5th day today) It hasn't been that hard so far, I do crave occasionally for food, but I can't say I am so hungry that I need to climb walls or anything. I don't know if it's...

So, what's the plan.. Well.. 1. Stick to Exante TS for April, draw a line after a month. If not happy (i.e.: at least 17 pounds lost), go for another 2 weeks. 2. Stick to Kinect - Your Shape program, minimum 5 hours/week 1st deadline is 17th May - visiting family and friends, and would...

I resisted reading all this topic :D

I'm confused a bit. The bouillon has carbs in it, proteins calories etc. Also the Tesco squash has sugar.. Are they really ok to drink during this diet?

After lots of twisting and turning I made up my mind. I'll have one banana shake tonight, ice flakes, straw, cinnamon, every trick I found around this forum. Tomorrow I will go through my day at work as I usually do, with water, coffee etc, than have one soup around 5, the other one around 9-10...

Wow, nice, that didn't cross my mind. Thanks, good tip.

Yeah, next day delivery if you order before 1 PM in a working day. Everything that is ordered after Friday 1 PM will be delivered on Tuesday..

Wow, great! Congratulations! :happy096:

Yes, I am the idiot who didn't actually plan this properly. Mainly because at the beginning I only intended to try them out see if I like the taste, and than buy a bumper pack. Than I loved the soup so I figured to go on. Everything fine and all, only that now I have 2 soups left until Tuesday...

I am so envious.. I hate shakes so badly, because they taste like milk, and I hate milk.. Luckily I really love the soups, but probably won't be long until I get tired of having 3 soups per day

I must say I am amazed these days seeing so many people that actually do this for more than.. two days? :p Seriously now, it seems huge. Not necessary because of the hunger, which so far doesn't feel so bad (only two days so far, I am not an expert on this), but the whole idea that a month...

So, what was the answer? What is Bouillon? :sign0163:

Honk for day 2.. See you all around here tomorrow :p

I love all the soups.. And kind of hate the shakes and bars.. So yeah, we're all different..

Hi, thanks, by mixing it to a paste works a lot better. Is not 100% lump-free but is waaaaaaay better than before. So, notice to beginners: adding all the 200 ml hot water on top of the powder and using "manual" methods like whisk or spoon will end up in a yucky collection of lumps with a...

I've got difficulties with this one too, I will try all the above advices.. hope It won't take 5 packs of soup to get one right.. It's a bit ridiculous, I am quite a good cook, I can make quite a few complicated recipes, but I can't mix a powder with water?! :mad: Frustrating...

Thanks, editing my shopping basket now. Later edit: Apologies, I've just seen the Sticky on list of drinks.... Thanks for the patience with newbies :)

Waiting on my Kinect console and Dance Central and Fitness Your Shape Fitness Evolves. Can't wait..

I think I got my answer from a different topic, Diet Coke seems OK

What about Diet Coke? :)

As someone who reacts just the same to problems (hide them, ignore them, hide yourself anything but face it) I would suggest to go to weigh yourself now. That is as much as I learned in life, that when my reaction is to run and hide than I should stay, if I don't want to know how bad something...

:cry: I cannot stand hearing this anymore, is driving me maaad :cry: I have a wii fit, I'm happy with it, I promised to stop spending on things that are not that necessary, and now not a day goes by when I don't add an xbox to my amazon basket and than delete it... Is it that good? :sigh2:

I don't know what to say.. You are right, of course, I would pick a small portion of something and in 2 hours another small portion of something and so on, and yes, that's how I got here, but that's when staying at home with a fridge, lots of time and.. yeah, here I am. But at work there's no...

I will try to keep it structured so you won't get bored ;) : - I don't/ can't /won't eat breakfast; I am very nauseated by any smell of food in the morning, and don't want to hear about it until 1-2 PM - not so much into sweets, occasional cravings but even so can't eat too much of them, after...

Funny, but you don't have to be over 40 to be real for you too, actually you can be under 30 and it still applies to you :)

We've got Faithless in April, Roger Waters in May, Kings of Leon in Hyde Park in June.. Oh, and another pending Kings of Leon concert sometimes in January, postponed from December to an unknown date :grumble:

Me too, me too! I would like to start with a 12 hours goal for now. Miss Mango: 12 hours - 0 done judimac 10 hrs - 0 done Leeanne910: 10 hours - 0 done laura2481: 12 hours - 30mins done Stellaria: 10 hours - 35 mins done MinnieMel: 10 hours -- 0 done Ela ine: 12 hours - 1 hour done...

What's with the hot water and lemon? I've seen a colleague at work having it.. is it for slimming?

My motivation.. I planned a romantic getaway in Jamaica, just me and my husband, and planning to look gorgeous/perfect/fantastic/amazing/breathtaking.. Well, you've got the picture :D

Having a child for me... :cry: Oh well, I keep telling myself it could have been worse, and promised not to have another one :rolleyes:

Hi all, I was wondering what's the best book you read last year? For me it was The Elegance of the Hedgehog (Muriel Barbery) by far..

I have just booked a summer holiday in Jamaica, the kind of romantic getaway just for me and my husband (baby daughter stays with my parents) sunsets, cocktails and so on. And this wonderful picture must include me in my best shape, toned, not embarrassed in a bathing suit. I've been reading...
