    Flares and sw ..erk

    I agree, it's different here in Cyprus as we don't really have gps as such. I went straight to a gastro and had a whole barrage of tests before I was diagnosed. Ibd is hard to diagnose without proper testing. Keep at them till you get a referral. The tests aren't the nicest but once it's under...

    Flares and sw ..erk

    I was diagnosed with crohns about 10 years ago plus IBS. I was on steroids which made me put on a lot of weight. Since my crohns went into remission I use loperimide, buscopan and librax to cope with any symptoms as they happen. The huge amount of veg I was consuming was really affecting me but...

    can AF make big difference to your weight on scales?

    I always seem to have a maintenance when i am due on. Guess its a mixture of water retention and the extra bits and pieces i probably wouldn't eat normally . I usually see a loss the following week

    30 day shred

    I was probably doing it on average 3 times per week, sometimes 4. It took a long time to finish. I was definitely bored with it by the end. At least each level in ripped in 30 is only for 5 days.

    30 day shred

    Haven't heard of that one. Is it good? I tried the ripped in 30 the other day and it seemed to work different areas than the shred. I think the shred is great for toning and any exercise will help speed up your metabolism so will in effect help you lose weight too.
