For me there's about 3 inches difference in my waist measurement between my normal posture and when i stand straight and hold my stomach in so i definitely have loose muscles that need tightening hence the work on the 'corset' muscles. I think that's what pilates targets as well. then over that...

Physio once told me that I had to pull in my stomach muscles as if trying to touch my belly button to my spine, breathe and hold for 10 secs. 5 reps at least every couple of hours. She said the deeper corset muscles needed work and the superficial muscles can be targeted later with sit ups. And...

Just finished 'Harry Potter and the half blood prince', now reading 'The Altman Code' by Robert Ludlum and will proceed to read 'The bourne legacy' while waiting for 'Harry Potter and the deathly hallows' to be released.

for two of my pregnancies i was prescribed 1 aspirin a day. it thins the blood a wee bit a reduces the risk of heart disease and DVT and stuff especially for older people.

I tried the zoom thing and only got a few shades lighter nothing dramatic in my case. My dentist friend says that it doesn't work for about 20%. I'm going to try crest whitestrips supreme for ease of use.

'Gillian looks like she could do with a good slap up meal! :giggle:' That's eactly what hubby says whenever she's on. that and the fact that she's alway obssessed with **** puts me off dieting - what the heck is the perfect log?. I'd rather stick with 'biggest loser'

I keep missing the program. I've personally been killing chickens and turkeys back home since my 10th birthday (it was my coming of age 'resposibility' for the party). Turkeys put up a good fight, i tell you. I have watched cows and goats been slaughtered coz the biology teacher wanted to show...

I make banana with pepper and i absolutely love them.

i was told by my grandma that it was a sin to waste food and that there were so many starving kids in the world including some relatives and neighbours. She never suggested feeding them though. It's still part of me unfortunately.

just went to check. it's called reductil. causes insomnia. and palpitations.

have done in the past. three different brands. didn't work. Then i got a bloody expensive prescription suppressant which worked and gave me sleepless nights.

If you get the real scotch bonnet or habernero, you might want to use half instead of a whole 1. Also stay away from the seeds coz they cause the runs if not cooked for long enough and they are relly hot. sometimes they sting your hands.

1. I was brought up to 'eat well'. My mum never gave us chocolates though coz she grew up on a cocoa farm and was tired of it. 2. We were too poor to afford fast food but ate a lot of everything else. Fisrt chance I had to start earning, I was eating everything I heard of but could never...

the yellow book has nice pictures of tempting good food so i hid it at some point. i'll go look for it.

but it never recovered from the previous one 18months ago

So what hope is there for my saggy postnatal tummy. I was just contemplating crunches and press-ups while subconciously looking for an excuse not to 'punish' myself.

Yay! stabilisation! Please what exactly is the concept of stabilisation?

After the nice christmas/ new year/ birthday break and gaining 1.75lbs, I have now restarted CD. My confusion now is over whether at a BMI of 25.7 I can resume SS or not. Is it advisable to change plans or start with SS and work my way up.

I started when the baby was six weeks old and I wasn't breastfeeding. GP said to diet but not to do any exercises whatsoever. I don't think he knew it was CD though.

oooh! I am definitely getting one then. They're supposed to be removable with teflon coated plates so i might get away with oil free ccoking. Hopefully the it will help with portion control.

Can anyone tell me about nuwave or any similar infrared cooking device. DH with his usual gadget fetish wants us to get one.

I wasn't planning on cheese. I just thot we could poach eggs or something. DH now wants a nuwave infrared thingy coz he thinks it does everything and is easy for ME to clean.

cool! thanks. my search kept coming up with cheese.

there's going to be a raclette :confused: grill at lidl on monday with oil drainage and removable plates. I'm hoping to buy one but I don't know what a raclette is and the picture looks even more confusing. Does anyone have one? Please help me review before i head down and waste our tight budget.

Problem for me is that we always do christmas with the extended family at two different aunties' and they do get offended when no one ears coz they spend hours cooking. My people fry chicken. we do not roast turkey. we have to go but i haven't come up with a plan on how to cope yet. One of them...

I lost 10lbs on slimfast. I liked the idea that i was eating 6 times a day. 5 were slimfast products and the I had a chicken and mushroom salad every night. eating six times a day meant i was either eating or thinking about eating so it didnt take long to want to eat more. I certainly wasn't...

Dubai!! It might not be wild and crazy enough for some but is our best ever. we even went shopping then left the trolley for couple of hours to go watch a movie and it was still in the shopping mall when we got back. We later found out that the hotel would have taken it off us and dropped it off...

Thanks for the encouragement. I tried to stay off the caffiene by switching to decaf coffee today. I didn't wake up till 3pm - talk about dependence. I have been trying the water flavourings but it has given me the runs.

I totally agree. i'll try the SS for a couple of week then switch to 790 for december. I hope I can step it down again in January. I hear the results are just as good on 790 so here's hoping. Thank you guys so much. Do I need to do the AAM before the 790 plan?

CDC I would love to do that but I have to cook and feed the boy and man and am a little stressed and sleep deprived. Sometimes I wish I could add a nice meal as I have cheated approximately once every week so far and hubby keeps complaining about dinners being no fun. But I really do agree that...

I know tesco kick. I liked it especially as it was cheaper than red bull. I'll just try a can and see how it goes. I really need a little caffiene coz one baby takes the night shift and the other takes the day so I get 4 hours sleep btw them and catch up on saturdays with 12hrs of sleep while...

Diet Cranberry Blue Charge!!! kiss, kiss <Muah, muah> XX. I love you! will shop online straight away.

Gee, thanks <Darn! now I can't use the excuse that I didn't know for sure that i couldn't. Oh, well ...>

Heard about LL from BFA (British Franchise Association) programme and when I decided that I needed it, someone on mumsnet.com mentioned that CD was a better and cheaper option.

Been lurking for about five months and finally started CD exactly a month ago. It's been hard going with an 11 week old and a 16 month old and I have ended up tasting loads of stuff but I really mean to lose this weight. 16month old used to pick up his enthusiasm for meals from me and my...
