    aw how cute! So that makes you.... :p haha i wont try and work it out ffm!

    One thing i would have loved to have done is to see queen live. If i had three wishes i would use one on that.

    I would like to see wham aswell, and duran duran.

    Something between 37 and 46 if I've worked it out right :rotfl:

    I saw a Queen tribute band live once, it was really great, I can't imagine how great the real Freddie Mercury would have been.

    The other bands I have seen live are The Darts, Toyah, Neil Diamond and Phil Collins - I wonder what that says about my taste in music.

    FFM :)

    Beanie woohoo2.gifanother divine comedy fan!!! Saw them live in a small tent at glastonbury in '98 - they were fantastic, and saw them live a few times after that. Got their fanzine for a while until I moved.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    hi all? does anyone else find it really easy to shed the lbs once their fitness is sorted? i know i do, its taken me 6 weeks to get my fitness back even though im 17st 10. and now i just feel the weight falling off as i working out really hard and eating properly.

    can't say that I find it easy but yes I do think fitness has an awful lot to do with weight. but as you have said you are working hard AND eating properly and that is teh real key. If you did the same amount of exercise but ate a junk food diet, there is no way it would work as well.
    Weight loss since 01/08/07 - 72 lbs:j

    absolutely, id personally see diet as 75% of weight loss. i have started using https://www.caloriecount.com as of today and found my calorie intake was way below what it should be :D

    anyway, if anyones interested heres my profile which contains a journal :)

    FAB weekend at kelmarsh if a bit daunting. had to organise camping for the entire medieval and sort stuff out. TERRIBLE weather - showers intermittently saturday and a really strong cold wind both days which meant that you didn't realise how hot the sun was when it was out - i havea very pink nose! terrific public, all really up for it and excited, did a few arena shows and got very scared watching OH balanced on the front of a WW2 jeep careening across a field at 60mph. He was alright but hte parachutist he was picking up actually hada broken ankle - he came in too fast.

    food has gone TOTALLY out of the window, i 've lost the plot and i'm guaranteed a huge gain this week. I'm just so stressed and all over tyhe place that i'm grabbing what i can where I can with no real plan in sight. I did walk miles over the weekend which may have helped a bit. We did the unfair fight at the end on sunday which was fab. The vikes started it, some of hte civil war lot followd on and before we knew where we where they were all at it. the medieval girls inc me were chasing a civil war soldier around the field and hitting him with our hats. probably hte best moment was when the american airborne came on half way through and formed a skirmish line. They were charged by the combined forces of everyone else, broke and ran. Quality! Probably the most surreal moment was lined up for hte parade. We were waiting for the battle of naseby to finish so we were all sat around listening to the mapoleonic musicians. Suddenly the roman gladiatiors, all in nothing more than loincloths started morris dancing. the publci who were watching couldn't actually see, they must have thought we were a real bunch of loons for getting so excited about drum and pipe music.

    sorry for vix having to talk to an empty forum but i'm glad it's been quiet - easy to catch up!

    xx
