Yes but I only have fluoro green nailpolish! I'll have to hunt around and see if we have a yellow one. I know we have orange... Hmm... I'll find something
That's like how we get people all decked out in either blues and reds or green and golds, it gets all confusing because green and gold are what we recognize best, but our flag is blue, red and white, so stores stock a lot of things in those colours!
Oh and another thing i'll add to this is eat slowly.Originally Posted by Niamh
you do a lot of walking around anyway nightie. Have you thought of investing in an exercise ball? can get them for a fiver and they can be used to strengthen your back, tone up and correct posture. I use one. They are used in the alexander technique and Palates.
I noticed this week with the aniseed balls, that everytime i felt like a munch (which is when i usually raid my house) i sucked on one of them instead and i didnt eat as much crap! been great. so everytime you fancy a munch suck on an aniseed ball!!!

Not really, though. My brother was about 16 when he did it. I can remember when it happened. He was a paperboy. He was outside the house with a friend of his and they were going to deliver his papers together. He dropped one. He bent over to pick it up and that was it. He couldn't stand up. So he had quite a few visits to the chiropractor after that.
When I worked at the bookstore (10 years ago alreadythe jkey not to bend when shelving but to crouch, or simply give in and sit on the floor!
), I always sat on the floor. I even opted to lying down sometimes! I didn't care!
I have to agree with the exercise ball. I love mine!But that is mainly do to the fact that I haven't been doing any exercising. I've had to quit dance for the moment. I could practice at home, but, like with "regular" working out, I have just been too tired this past year to do much of anything. It seems that whenever I decide to start again, something happens to me physically that will prevent me from doing too much of anything that calls for any real effort from me (right now it is my arm). But I have my mind made up! I want to lose that weight that I have gained and maybe a little extra. So I need to do this religiously again. Some exercise routines call for a little everyday, or every other day. Whichever you would choose, just make sure you have that day or two to rest because that is essential with getting into shape, also.
Yeah, I agree with this, too. But I also try to follow a diet plan. I admit that I don't necessarily watch what I eat as much as when I eat. I don't gorge myself, but if I want a piece of chocolate cake, I am going to have it!), this is what I did (I read it somewhere):
Breakfast (I generally only eat a bowl of cereal): within an hour of rising
Snack (I make it something light): 3 hours later
Lunch (again, I make it light - if I eat something big, I won't want to eat supper later): 3 hours after that
Supper (I eat whatever I want then): 5 hours later
Snack (again, light): an hour before bed
It worked for me (hopefully it will work again). I also followed my grandmother's doctor's advice that he gave her. Eat what you would normally eat, just cut the portion in half. So it all worked. It is just a matter of keeping up with it.Of course, I know everyone is different, but it DID work for me until I messed up!
Ohhh I can sympathise with that
6! poor you sprinks!

I do walk miles everday, don't I. Excersise ball Ill think about Ive wanted to do pilates for agews but cant fins anywhere to do it. Last time I lost weight I did it by eating lots of smaller meals and cutting out the snacking, and if I got the munchies I did have aniseed balls and chewing gum. I also only ate with chopsticks which sloweed me down then but then I got so good with them I can eat just as fast with chopsticks as with western cutlery

Yeah, for me, it is smaller meals (the cutting the portions in half). I don't eat snack food that much at all (for me, the "snacks" on the list might involve something like crackers or fruit or other "light" things). I eat it but not that much. But you mentioning gum chewing is kind of funny. I was addicted to gum chewing. I would chew gum ALL the time. I even would chew it at work, which was forbidden. But I was so good at hiding the gum that nobody knew I was chewing it. I always said that gum was my cigarette. I was terrible with it. But I think it helped with maintaining my weight. Unfortunately my jaw got so bad with TMJ that I had to go cold turkey with it.I do walk miles everday, don't I.

Chopsticks could be an option if I didn't have arthritis in my hand. But if I could hold them, I probably would get too good at it, too.Another thing that I heard that someone did once was hold the spoon/fork with the opposite hand. I guess that if you do that, you eat slower automatically. But I would think that you would get used to that, too, eventually. Wouldn't you think so?
One thing about the exercise ball is that it is kind of odd the first time that you sit on it. Prepare yourself. I don't know how it was for Niamh, but I know how it was for me and other people I have seen. It is really just a balance thing. So you have to know that you will definitely be unstable at first. But now I can sit down like I am sitting in a chair.
Hey ladies, I have a question i've been burning to ask. (OK not burning I've actually just thought about it but it is something I've been plagued with for quite some time) How often do you have to unclog the bathtub drain due to hair? I haven't done a study but I'm estimating 1.5 - 2 months.

That's a job for the husband!
I used to have that problem at least once a month. It would drive my husband crazy. Thankfully it hasn't happened in quite sometime.
What Are You Crazy!!!
How did you fix the problem??

it's weird, it stopped on its own.
What Are You Crazy!!!
Oh no! I thought you were going to ask about something icky....you know, with the burning and all. But my drain clogs up A LOT. I keep drano in business.

hmm. does pouring acid down the drain work?
