I now have an issue with horrible arms. When I was heavier, the tops of my arms were kinda solid iyswim but now I'm losing, they are going all saggy baggy and look horrible. I haven't been exercising but I obviously now need to start. What's bothering me though is that my 45 yr old skin just isn't as forgiving as it used to be and I might end up like one of those peeps you sometimes see on the telly who need to get wads of skin cut away surgically.
*goes off into panic mode*

It's kinda ironic that when I finally get to the stage where I care.....it might be too late to get a good result. :rolleyes: Oh well, there's always tops with sleeves I suppose. :rotfl:

.

Jumpers with batwing sleeves.. remember those:rolleyes:

Dont think your supposed to actually 'fill' the sleeves tho:rotfl:

Oh yeuch! I had a mint green slash neck thing with batwing sleeves. And a seriously dodgy perm that I had to get cut out leaving me with very short seriously dodgy hair.

:rotfl:

Some things you really just want to forget. :rolleyes:

I'm always paranoid about my arms - thing is, even when I have a lovely slim body I still have chubby upper arms, which just give the overall impression of a big girl They have lost a lot over the past year and I got a bit of that saggy situation, though thankfully it's pretty much caught up with itself now.

I find moisturising a lot (E45 cream) makes me feel like my skin can catch up better, and then I use Bio Oil for the shrink marks... the one thing I've found best for toning up those upper arms is the pole dancing - all that pulling and lifting really helps.

I haven't lost a single pound since February 1st - however I've clearly got stronger so I hope I've just been replacing fat with muscle. After all, since starting the new job, I walk about 7 miles a day that I never did before, as well as using more mental energy and generally being more active. I just want my home pole to arrive noooowww so I can practise more!

Morning all!

sweets, you can get feta just in a block too, asda had it on cheap in my local. It's tangy and doesn't quite disappear into the scrambleds. Think it's goat/sheep based. Very nice for a change. If you have the oily suff I'd just drain it well first. Shouldn't make much diffence.

Good to hear that the salmon treats work with fresh, I love salmon Torn between salmon steak or beef steak for tea, what a lovely quandary :rotfl:

I now have some flaxmeal so will experiment. Didn't want to go for the equipment til I know I'll use it.

Gorgeously sunny here, had a poke at the garden but don't want to do too much else I'll upset my beneficial insects still asnooze in the dead stuff. Well that's my excuse

Seed planting I think today, will have to see. Feel lazy but restless.

Have a good sunday!

Tesco do a block of value salad cheese (for a greek style salad) and if it isn't feta it's exactly like it.

Maybe its like champagne, cant call it that unless its from feta country:D

Cant remember how much but was very cheap.

Hubby sat watching footie on TV looking exactly like that pic of [STRIKE]alias' hubby?![/STRIKE] Homer Simpson - remote & can of irn bru in his hands!! He's not yellow though!!

Thanks for the info on feta/pretend feta - can't believe I've never bought it before!! Going to get some though (the cheapie stuff) & I'm also going to get some mozarella so I can try Mercy's fudge thingy.

I'm another one with an upper arm issue - they call them bingo wings here!! :rotfl: Swimming is supposed to be a good exercise for them but I'm just not ready to put myself through that yet!! Push-ups against a wall, rather than on the floor, are meant to be good too. I really should start practicing what I preach!! :rotfl:

Well, I've been out for my picnic & very nice it was too. Had a good walk, with some uphill struggles, & lots of fresh air. Was hoping to see some toads but think it's too early for them so will go back in a few weeks, they are worth seeing as there's literally hunners of em!!

Forgot to say I'm having cat food (tinned stewed steak!!) for my dinner with buttery or maybe cheesy cabbage & leeks.
Also got some rasps & blues for pud which I'll be having with lashings of double cream - yum!!

Guys help...my big pot of thick double cream has mould on the top and I wanted to use it to make a cheese sauce for my cauli.....can I use creme fraiche instead or is that mainly for sweet things?
