dailymail says you'll get hiv if you do!!

that is fucking heartbreaking... poor little Yue yue I kinda wished I hadn't watched that now

stupid people on my facebook moaning about this fish pedicure risk that the daily mail has been scaremongering about... "i've got a weak immune system too!! ohnoesgoingtodie!!!" You've fucking no idea what a weak immune system is you dick.... *anger*

and c25k is a brilliant programme... as long as you follow it and do your own pace there's no reason why you can't!! I keep meaning to finish c25k in some capacity...even if its a slow jog... but every time I do my old knee injury seems to flare up... But yeah. this week i lost 4lb So myfitnesspal has worked wonders for me... and it agrees with the lazy person inside of me... rather than all this slimming world & weightwatchers business of counting points/syns/free stuff. I'm getting very very close to my weight before I started the drugs im on...yay. (now 18.3, need to get to 17.7.. which I was in 2008).. at that time I lost a good bit and got down to low 16s...then started Etanercept and fucking piled on 4 stone in like a year... disgrace. So now I'm nearly at my start weight again... lol... damage repaired... now its getting to the job I started in 2008... grr

Yeah sounds like a good starting point. I would say try 3 a week for a while.. if you go full throttle 6 times a week its very easy to run out of steam and lose interest (I know I've done it in the past) and get a good variety in. Always make sure you have a rest day once a week at the least. Omlettes are ace.. never had tuna before...sounds interesting!! Might give it a go soon

myfitnesspal? Its bloody brilliant... it has a phone app (for blackberry android and iphone) which is possibly THE single best invention ever... and it has a barcode scanner!! Scan in food > double check the result is right > add to diary.. Simples ^^; It also tracks lots of things, as well as calories..carbs,fat salt etc. The amount of calories you burn is an estimate... and its also based on your weight and other stats... so like I might burn more or less than you would I use a HR monitor to record all of my calorie burns, they're the most accurate

woot woot nice one mokong! It will surely be in the good thread, until you have a test and/or assignment!!!

aww chinos are a state.... especially when combined with a underwear reveal..... Urgh.... PULL YOUR TROUSERS UP PLZ :p

mildy drunk hahah

you can get those protein health bar things but they are nothing but a waste of money.... If you want good healthy unprocessed food, the only way to go is the hard way... its not that difficult to learn to cook! Protein shakes are a good supplement to a good diet, but there's no need to have 3 a day... one is good enough when you are eating properly. Imo they are far too bloody expensive to be guzzling down 3x a day... there's nothing in them you can't get out of a good diet... but its helpful for post workout protein boost, and I find my recovery time a lot shorter whilst on just the 1 shake every time i have a workout. Stirfrys are a good way to get in veg, some nice meat and a bit of healthy fats. Tinned tuna is a nice source of protein. Fish is pretty easy, just bung it in a big of foil, in the oven for 15-20 mins, and bung on some veg with it. Eggs are very protein filled too (omlettes nom nom nom, and good for novices in the kitchen). Porridge for breakfast is very healthy.. its a staple in my diet now, i've really grown to love it and wouldn't even touch the cereal I used to be addicted to! It's also lower in carbs and won't give you the same insulin spike that most cereal does... A lot of people on a training diet keep off a good majority of carbs during the day and have them pre workout, then a shake or protein snack after... Training on an empty stomach is not good for you. even something small is better than nothing. Sugar drops can cause frightening side effects and when you are throwing a massive weight around (think kettlebells) the last thing you want to do is lose concentration and/or pass out.. and lots of water!!! Eating more frequently is advised when you are on a training routine... its a lot easier on your body to digest smaller meals more often, than mahoosive ones you have to have to fill your calorie intake. Myfitnesspal.com has a completely free database for cal counting (in both losing and gaining) and there are a lot of people on the forums who would know more about gaining muscle (I would know more about the weight loss side of things rather than the gaining!!) HTH

Yep I'm watching

I didn't think this was an episode of comedy rainbow, rez is trying to multitask and use the recording in an episode.... ha ha I donated $15 as well!

tsk tsk terrible jokes!

I found an interesting thing on t'interwebs.... (the body fat check) http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/myhealthchecker/ All you need is your weight and a measuring tape! I did mine and it said I was normal!!!! WHAT?! Apparently my BF% is 29, JUST in the normal and no more... (although other sources say 25) Women have to input a lot more measurements than men... I've got mahoosive wrists so I think that's possibly indicative of a bigger bone structure/less body fat. So that's my day made XD

ahh this ghey weather is doing my nut in.... and its getting really dark and cold in the morning.... making the battle with my alarm clock even more difficult... Wish I could hibernate....

d'awwwww :'( its good that they got rescued though!

we had one back in the days of c-e and it was never used, I imagine that's why..

soak it then remove gunk with kitchen paper Oh yeah and DO NOT overclean as this will annoy the skin too lol Piercings are all very well and good but you really do have to have patience with them at the beginning, they are messy and there's not an awful lot you can do about it :p I've been thinking about getting another piercing but I tend to have really bad reactions (cauliflower ear) so i'm a bit scared =P edit:

welcome back dys! ^_^

Bleeding is very normal.... you have just punched/pierced a hole in the skin... I pierced my ears myself and bled all over the place... minor knocks can start it off, or poking at it unneccesarily, as well as the piercing process. Don't touch it, just soak it in warm water with a small amount of salt in it. Helps the healing process. Also yellow and or orange gunk is normal.

awww most people don't get their kittehs teeth!!! Lucky you! They do the same as humans, lose their baby teeth, and grow through adult ones between 7 and 12 months. Our kitten has a double set of teeth! Also the pics are lovely... she's really camouflaged!

That would annoy me too.... is it a woman thing? :p

they might not make money on the product, but they will make money overall... Think about it.... you have to buy books to go on the bloody thing =P Saying that I'm getting one... its on my Christmas list, yay. Got the app on my iPhone to try out for a bit and decided to take the plunge!

you wouldn't say an eye test was fruitless if it detected a brain tumour and saved your life...
