Looking to have a meeting with a personal trainer in the early summer time so why not try something out yourself before then.

Xmas eating …when does it stop?!

admin — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 18:27:51 +0000

Just felt the need to write ladies, it’s always a difficult time of year for slimming/dieting/maintaining a healthy weight… so how do you do it?

I never manage to walk past the cakes, chocs and other treats available at work, I always feel my hand dipping in to collect something sweet to munch on!

Anyone have any tips to share with us? If so message me and I will post your suggestion up.

The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet Cookbook: The fast, no-hunger weightloss cookbook for vegetarians (Paperback)

By (author) Rose Elliot

List Price:	14.99 GBP
New From:	7.44 In Stock
Used from:	7.44 In Stock

Ingredients: 225g (8oz) Cheddar Cheese, finely grated. (That’s all!)

Prep: 5 mins. Cooking: 30 mins.

1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Cover a large baking sheet with baking parchment.

2. Put little piles of grated cheese on the paper, allowing room around each for spreading. You will probably have to do them in several batches.

3. Bake for about 8-10 mins, or until they are golden brown and when you try to lift one off the paper it feels firm. If it is bendy and collapses, pop them back in the oven for a minute or two longer and test again.

4. Cool on the paper, then lift off with a spatula and serve with dips. They keep well in an airtight container.

3.2 carbs and 56.8g protein for the whole quantity. Negligible carbs and 2.4g protein per crisp.

That’s it! It really is that simple.

Allow enough time both for these too cook fully and to cool completely.

Cancer Research UK Henley to Marlow Stride

Jocelyn Walker — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:01:01 +0000

Its a 7 mile walk along the River Thames starting at either Henley or Marlow (the choice of start point is up to participants) and its on Sunday 3 October.

Its not as strenous as running but still a nice thing to do with family and friends, and the PCOS support group have supported the Cancer Research Race for Life.

Some of the group will be taking part, so if you are around come along and support them.

Got this one?

Dr Ann Walker mentioned this at the talk back in early summer, how many of you have read it? Or can also recommend it? I am thinking it might be worth a read, remember, if you want a copy of the slides from Dr Walker’s talk drop me a line and I will forward them on.

Running the half marathon..

Jocelyn Walker — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 16:01:22 +0000

Hi all,

I am thinking about running the half marathon next year… am I mad? Should I do it? Have any larger ladies managed to run the 13 miles without collapsing in a heap..which is what I expect to do!

If you have, or want to do some training with another born again running beginner… then get in touch.

Found this site for ladies with extra curves who need the best sportswear

Hope all are well
