I like them, going to the Zumba dance class tonight that is good fun...Got to lose some timber, stopped smoking for 6 months and all I achieved was gaining a stone in weight...now smoking with the extra stone not happy! well past my fighting weight now

I need to knock the fagarettes on the head, think I'll leave until I've been to Croatia, so about October time.

Then I can be even more miserable and fall out with Mild Rover and Anakin Skywalker every day instead of every other.

It is very difficult, I thought my moods were not too bad but friends and family tell me I was very very quiet (which is not me

) and quite depressive. It got easier apart from when drinking, I stopped for 3 yrs once, always the booze. The weight gain was mental, I was swimming a mile every morning, spinning etc really watched what I ate but to no avail it just came on, metabolism just goes crazy..I would love to stop, dirty habit with no benefits but what can you do. I have cut down a lot though and my goal is to get to 5 a day.

Do the lemon juice diet mm I could do to tone up got sum of them reebok easy tone trainers so gonna start walking round the village, it's a mare wen get past 40 as metabolism goes into meltdown, I've never smoked in my life saw what it did to my dad ended his life at 49 way way to young for me that.

It's called a pint of mixed and was a very popular drink when I worked in the Queens about 22 years ago. Cost about 64p a pint. A pint of "Golden" was not so tasty - half of lager and half of bitter - about 72p a pint as lager was dearer.

I am desperate that I missed this - didn't know it was on, Coincidentally, I have just read "The Book of Love" by Sarah Bowers in which I was introduced to the Borgias. Criticize Lucrezia as the scarlet woman you may, but females - be it aristocratic or not - didn't have much say in their lives and they did what they did to survive. Cesare was the dastardly rogue that drove them all to it, the bloodthirsty sibling-lustful rake.

Where can I see the first episode again?

Are you being rude?

Not into fady diets tbh Ginge, I try to eat a balanced diet (well most of the time

), I find if I reduce carbs that is effective, also as you mature the weight carries different on you especially on your stomach, I never carried weight on my middle now I do. I think walking is superb for exercise and general well being, I used to run well basically I have always been sporty but my knees and lower back no longer like it so I favour swimming, walking, cycling and I am just getting into zumba which is basically fun aerobics.
Set myself a target of a stone by xmas and another 1/2 by next summer. I think if you lose too much when you are mature it does not look good, curvaceous is the way forward in your 40s.

After visiting the astonishingly aptly named Chillingham Castle this week, a night there in one of the tower rooms is our next family excursion, minus the youngest who was so terrified by our visit in full daylight she refuses to go again.

On the downside, despite visiting every church passed in Northumberland I did not capture even [ione[/i Last Supper picture. Very disappointing. How's your grandad getting on?

No ur right there it don't look good bin scrawny at 40 it's not a diet as such all it is is squeeze a full lemon in sum hot water first drink of the day wait for it to cool and drink it kick starts ur metabolism it sort of tricks it and it cleanses ur system in the mean time but drink it thru a straw

I too am a reluctant member of the newly plump at 40 club. Am intrigued by this and will try it. But why through a straw?

I'm also a fan of sunbeds. Sort of in the same theory as "black is slimming" I find that being a shade or so darker creates a shadow around your edge, which makes you appear thinner.

I wear a magic cape that makes some of me invisible.

Lemon is supposed to help with metabolism, I do not like it in hot water though I do like to drizzle it as a dressing on pasta/salad.

Wormy do not use a sunbed!! that is just not good, the damage they cause your skin is simply not worth it...I actually tan very easy even with factor 25 but I hate going too dark, I simply do not need to look like we are trying to be a WAG!! not matter if it makes me look thinner or not...English rose is the way forward, beautiful.

I know what you're saying about the sunbed, but I'm a firm believer in a very little once a week does you the power of good. My job means I see no sunlight from 8.30 in the morning 'til 6 at night five days a week, and sod's law says it's always miserable for the other two days.

6 minutes on the sunbed makes me feel like I've swum 10 lengths, the boost it gives. It's very bad to be deprived of that Vitamin D inducing blast, I feel SAD all year round. I'm not one of those leather-skinned shrivelled-up users, just enough so I don't look sickly pale.

I think it's the warm water more then the lemon juice, a friend of mine swears by it.
It doesn't do to be scrawny at any age. After my first son I dropped from a size 12 to a 6, it was the breast feeding diet, plus I did alot more walking then before. I hated being that skinny, I felt really self conscious & bony. Now I'm a very pale size 10, wishing I were a size 8.
Not sure I'll ever be happy with the way I look, however I'm really not obsessive about it. I'm not what you would call a girly girl by any stretch of the imagination.

It was on anytime last time I checked you can record it directly from there if you have a Sky+ box and it is an instant record as well.

I don't do sun beds as I don't want to end up with bacon skin and drink it thru a straw so the lemon does not rot ur teeth

Nah - just checked, it's finished on Anytime. When's episode 2, can't seem to find it on Sky?

My beauty therapist niece is desperate to spray tan me. I'm very reluctant, afraid of looking like an umpa lumpa.

Its still there i'm looking at it now.
On the last page at the top.

The lemon juice defo boosts metabolism and I'm size 10 to 12 but wanna Be a straight ten which used to be an 8 before had the kids I like to Be Girli I just dont like the taste of the lemon although it's very good for you

Tut tut sunbeds a no no

Fair do's wormy but I hope you put some of those protection creams on that help nourish your skin.
My daughter has my hubby's skin tone (she just goes red then peels!), but I like it tbh, but I suppose that is easy for me to say as like I say I tan fairly easy, so I understand your dilemma, and I am a firm believer is seeking out small pleasures that increase our happiness and well being.

I was always a 10/12 but never a skinny person, I did a lot of sport so looked toned I suppose. A 14 now, but bordering on a 16 top, boobies seem to get bigger! I am not too bothered about my size as shops con us any-way I just need to feel more toned up.

Yeah know what u mean bout the toning up bit a 14 isn't big it's the in size now u know
