    The 30 day Shred!! Round 2!

    When does the musce ache stop. I've completed day 2, and am struggling to get up/down from chair/sofa, and the stairs are a killer.

    Quick question

    Sorry don't know a definite answer, but is dietmeal not high protein foods, if so, and carbs are low i can't see how it would affect weight loss if calories are similar. However, that is only my opinion and others may feel differently.

    grilled sausages??? please answer asap thanks :)

    Yeah you can cook them in oven, but they won't taste same as havin been cooked under grill, don't think they will be as crispy either. Remember you will have liquids coming away from both the sausages and turkey, so keep them separate from one another.

    Raspberry Leaf Tea

    I used the capsules, from waters being broken to pushing I was about 2 hours, pushing took 5 mins or so. Did they work, I'm not sure but I used RLT with all my pregnancies, the only 1 which was long labour (11 hours) was my first - which I think is to be expected, others ranged from 3-7 hrs.

    God hun, you really are doing this pregnancy tough aren't you. I think they can give you blood pressure tablets to reduce it if your bp is high. Like the others have said if you have it, at least its been noted as a possibility and they will keep a closer eye on you.

    Loosing weight before ttc

    Don't want to frighten you hun, but is there a possibility it could be gallstones. VLCDs can cause them due to the rapid weight loss. From what I hear the pain is horrendous and can be brought on by eating fatty food. Well done on your loss, you are doing fantastically well.

    Well on your loss, and your 2 stone award, that is fab. Hope the little un is now on the mend. Know what you mean about the weather, makes it hard to decide what to do for the day with the kids.

    Debating a hair makeover....

    I'm having the same convo with myself as my appointment is for tomorrow. My hair is way too long and down the middle of my back, shaped round my face with a side fringe. I've been thinking maybe a lily allen type bob which is longer but choppy might be nice. Let us know what you decide.

    Is anyone 5ft 5 ish and a size 18? Please help

    I think Monsoon's sizes come up quite small. I've got 2 size 18 dresses, one I wore at 13 stone and it was perfect fit, the other one was too neat. Neither fit me right now, but I bought a size 18 top in their sale at the weekend and it fits perfectly. Like the others say, just depends how...

    Duh, I should have realised that when you were back on track after your busy week. What is this news regarding your diet that you are keeping us waiting for.

    What do you find speeds up your weight loss

    I find eating melon as dessert/snacks and laying off grapes gives me a better loss, but I just love grapes, so don't like to not have them.

    Freezling food help!

    You should be able to refreeze if you have cooked them after they have been defrosted, just can't defrost them and put back into the freezer.

    You definitely will be, in the nursing programme there is loads of "mature" students. Obviously get some younger ones too but I really don't think age is a problem unless it comes to partying and hangovers:D My 2 best friends when I left uni are 26 and 53, I'm 34. I'm still in touch and close...

    would it really matter

    Don't think the Sainsbury's bgty egg mayo is free any longer. I bought it after the thread about it and they had updated the website, don't have the password so can't check what it actually is syn wise, but I'm sure its probably quite low.

    What about egg mayo, eggs are free and only 1/2 syn for 1tbsp hellmans extra light mayo.

    OMFlippinG mincemeat

    I used to get it in asda but it is so much more expensive. I started buying the lean mince rather than extra lean and just drain the excess once it is browned. Not sure if it is the frozen iceland mince you have, if so, not sure draining it would work as I found it went into a kinda of mush...

    I went to Caledonian Uni, being a bit older with the kids meant I didn't enjoy uni as much as the younger folks, but think I just preferred being out in placement in the "real world".

    Claire has returned! All help and advice appreciated!

    love your dress claire, i got a few cardigans and a top in the monsoon sale yesterday. Was trying to look at dresses but it was mad so I gave up. Also don't think monsoon are exactly big in sizes, so I'd say a 16 in there is more like a 14. Reason I say that is that couple of my dresses from...

    Rainbow is leaving SW again! x

    Not sure about leggings with feet, but 60 denier tights would also do the job. Rainbow, can't believe the difference in your before and after photos hun, you are looking fab. Have you bought your bikinis for your holidays then? Are you gonna join a class after you come back or do SW yourself.

    what a predicament to be in

    Plan your menu for a week, lose yourself in a good book. A pamper session, eyebrows, nails, toenails, fake tan. I would love to have a truly nothing to do day, but I can always find something like shopping:D to keep me happy.

    I worked in an office up that way too, in a company that sold educational courses. Lasted all of 10 days because it wasn't in me to con folk out of their money, which was pretty much what I had to do if I wanted good commission. Sure it'll be easy enough to bypass the mcdonalds and if needs...

    Sewer Mouth - so fed up of it!

    I'd be careful with the Corsodyl, sure I got that from dentist few weeks ago when had tooth extracted. It says on the bottle it can stain teeth.
