For brits with big boobs, Marks and Spencer do the best sports bras ever. Seriously! I have one that can withstand anything!

 I try and eat 8 times a day. Mostly, bc I'm very active, need the calories. My bf is approx 14 percent, yet, I eat all the time. It's all good.

 

 Fitness Girl, I want to be you when I grow up!

To sum it up, religious people have a few screws loose :)

 And that's my second!

I've been one of the fit people in the gym, I've also been a really unfit pudding in the gym. Both times I was too busy screaming my way through sets of lunges to look at anyone else :)

I love this post. Gin and tonic does indeed taste like pine trees.

Wine is so delicious isn't it?

Try vodka with diet coke, or with slimline tonic. OJ and cranberry juice are sugary so I'd give them a miss. Personally.

You can still lose weight and enjoy the odd raz :)

Love this thread. I also thought the Great Gatsy was pants. I found it really shallow.

My most hated book EVER has to be Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. OK Salman you know a lot of adjectives. Now GO AWAY

Anyone remember the pyramint? Dark chocolate pyramid with mint fondant approx where the burial chamber should be :)

Really know how you feel as have had problems with injury myself. You need to rest though. Can you walk? If you can walk without toomuch pain, get yourself out for a couple of hours. Really good exercise.

If it doesn't clear up in a couple of days, get it checked out. But you really wont be helping yourself by working out on an injury.

Feel better soon!

Maybe it was the same bloke? ha ha

Thanks to everyone for your replies - really good reading!

Good luck everyone!

Hey, I'm in the UK as well, but went private cause NHS counselling was rubbish!

I guess you have probably gone down the prozac route. It did help me, but do beware, later on in life I was refused mortgage insurance because of depression! There is still a huge stigma and shedload of ignorance attached to depression, it is lumped in with all mental illnessess. Another reason I went private! Plus for me treating the cause rather than the symptoms helped.

The thing is depression does often pass, and if you recognise it as depression you are doing well. Be nice to yourself and surround yourself with fun people. Wish I could give more profound advice but having been there, I know nothing much helps.

Chin up lass!

Hi Lala

Probably a bit boring but have you tried counselling? It worked for me, I felt bad burdening my friends, but I also felt guilty about feeling sad cause tehre are so many people in the world worse off than me. But if I was PAYING someone to listen, they had to!

Best money I ever spent

Feel better

Hey,

I spend a lot of time injured so I know how frustrating this can be. I've had a serious back injury in the past and a really stubborn strain in my left leg that has been going on for 9 months!

The only advice I can give is if whatever treatment you are having isn't working, change it. Try knew chiropractors, physios, osteopaths, whatever. Everyone is different, it took me 6 years to find the osteo who finally fixed my back.

I think nutrition can really help too, some foods are anti-inflammatory like oily fish, green tea, red wine (yay!), and aubergine. These may or may not make a significant difference, but if you are like me you will want to give everything a go just in case.

Unfortunately, rest is also good for torn ligaments, though very boring.

Hope you feel better soon

Hi all,

I was a BAD girl this weekend. Lots of wine and roast beef. Still back on the horse today. Good news is that a stubborn hamstring injury is starting to heal (its been 9 months!) so I should be able to get off my fat @rse and start running again.

As I was scanning through the above posts, I note a few people have the same problem I do. Not telling other people about dieting. I don't want to be a weightloss bore. Plus the people that do know give me "you've done so well, have a day of". I'm sure they don't mean to sabbotage me but I just want to scream "Have you any idea how hungry I have been?" Really don't want to put this weight back on after it has come off cause I don't want to have to diet again!

Well I seem to be rambling. Better stop. Hope everyone had good weekends
