Was it the one in the Arena? That made me tear up a bit, it was so good!

Morning all

I'm so tired these last few days. Not sure what is wrong with me - it might still be jetlag.

Couldn't even stay awake for Game Of Thrones last night

So... one of the lads in work tied a Lindt Bunny bell to my bag and I didn't notice till he told me. I was wondering what the jingling noise was. Thought it was just coins

You could use the wholegrain pasta, much less bloating and much lower in calories too!

With wholegrain and normal pasta/bread there's not much of a difference. You'll be able to see and feel much more of a difference if you just give them up completely.
I did hear someone say something about all the studies on how wholegrain is better for you are compared to white over processed flour. It's the same as saying filtered fags are better for you than unfiltered. It still doesn't mean either is a good thing to consume.

don't eat much pasta

load up with spicy veg instead
much tastier and feel less crap after

Agreed. Brown pasta and brown bread are still junk food in my eyes. You will have a much flatter stomach if you cut out wheat as much as you can. Worked a treat for me.

I haven't had bread for about two weeks and my stomach has gone down a little bit, I need to get back into my exercising though, I've neglected it the past few days.

Keeping "I'll do it later" then later comes and it's "ah I'll do it tomorrow" then tomorrow comes and it's the same thing.

You should try exercising first thing in the morning,that way then you don't have too keep reminding yourself to do it

I'm the carb queen and I have a completely flat stomach. Just thought I'd put that out there. Eating wheat doesn't automatically turn you into this:



Genuine wheat intolerances are a lot rarer than people think.

Some people can eat more carbs than others but if your like the picture then cutting back on the worst kinds of starchy carbs will help you a lot.

Also there's more to eating wheat/not eating wheat than how much fat you have and those are the reasons I choose not to eat it. Best example is celiacs they are normally skinny/flat stomach but inside there's a huge health problem.

Just noticed on my form from the weight loss clinic I'm 161cm tall which means I'm 5'3 rather than 5'4

Maybe you just have bad posture but are really 5 foot 4 if you straighten up. :pac:

Yes! I'm going with this, 5'4 was short enough without losing an inch!

coffee_cake

i went on one of them machines that tells you weight height bf% etc and it said i was 5'7.75
so im taking that as 5'8 :cool:

Susie_Q

Must be amazing to be 5'8! I'm only 5'3, and really only just. Concerts are my worst nightmare, all I see is the back of people's heads :mad:

Same here, 5'2. Always get stuck behind the tall, fat smelly bastard who whips his long hair back in your face and has his own gravitational field :mad:

There's pros and cons to being taller. Personally I wouldn't mind being a few inches shorter at times. The grass is always greener though!

Acoshla

I like being tall, but I still get taller people with big curly heads in front of me at gigs and the cinema!

coffee_cake

nah i don't want to be shorter i'm happy as i am

there's a bmw 3 series for sale on carzone, i want one now

krudler

I'm 5"9 and the shortest of my friends, my housemate is 6"2 and my former was on just over 6ft, most of my family is pretty short though, was at a communion at the weekend and I felt like a giant lol whereas I feel tiny on nights out with the lads.

Susie_Q

The grass is greener at my height because I'm so close to the ground

Heehee.. I like it.
I'm 5 foot 3 but never felt particularly short. I can reach things on shelves in my kitchen! I've always felt about average. One of my best friends is 4 foot 11, the only time I feel tall is when I'm with her.

rainbow kirby

I'm 5'6". I feel tiny at metal gigs and football matches, and pretty normal height-wise around other women. :pac:

Susie_Q

Here in India I'm average height, even taller than average perhaps. But at home I feel like a midget because my OH is about 6'4. Sometimes I see couples with a really tall man and a tiny woman and I laugh and tell the OH 'oh look at that funny couple!' - then he'll gently remind me that's exactly what we look like. Hahaha, yes I'm a dumbass

I'm jealous of flat stomach people :P

My sister is coeliac, she was diagnosed when she was 4. Until the diagnosis she was very skinny, pale with frizzy hair but she had a pot belly. She was almost like those poor starving children in Africa - she was malnourished as the gluten in her diet was preventing her gut from properly absorbing vitamins and minerals from all food.

She's been on the diet for thirteen years now and she still has a tiny bit of a belly, but that's down to genetics; I and my parents have a small belly too. A lot of people think if they've got a belly they must be coeliac - I've got a bit of a belly but I'm not coeliac (I've been tested), I'm just greedy :P

Heh, I'm 5'1; when I go to concerts all I see are people's backs, never mind heads! Guys often think I must be pretty weak because I'm small, and insist on carrying heavy things for me, especially at work with heavy trays an the like, but I'm surprisingly sturdy

Heh, you've just reminded me, I lived with my friend (5ft 3) and her sister (5ft 9) and the taller one used to get great pleasure from putting things the smaller one would want on high shelves, I was always drafted in to reach them for her Boyfriend's mum and aunts are always asking me to take things down for them, when I was in heels at a party a few months ago I actually had to bend at the knees just to stand talking to his aunt, I was about 6ft in the heels and she's about 5ft, I look like a monster beside her.
