Just who do they think they are!!! And who do they think they are messing with??? I was going to reply at work earlier but I was finding it really hard to keep a lid on my anger.

I'm so tired............I don't think I'll be able to hit the dizzy heights of 10pm tonight DH is asleep on the couch, and he's not even jet lagged!!!

Yeah I'm having second thoughts about training with thoughtless guys. I don't even know if I'd want to go and train on Tuesday. I think I'm just going to get on with it and focus on myself, then when I'm a black belt for proper I'll start up with a new class nearer home.

Oh it's so wrong.

Anyway, I'm ok. I've got stupid whiplash from stupid breakfalls from stupid kickboxing!

When dealing with utter you've got to keep in mind what's in it for you. Are the gains you can make by sticking with the utter greater than the angst, annoyance and aggravation they are causing you?

You have come so far with your kickboxing, I think you should stay and see it out, just personally. Unless you can find another kickboxing studio which will have you on the fast track to black belt.

They are probably intimidated by you. Most boys are scare of girls, but a girl who can woop their butt??? Now that's scary!!!

Why is it SO damn hard to find plus size clothing? I am doing my best to lose weight and I have dropped 2 dress sizes in 6 months. But, now I am starting the gym and hopefully swimming... if I lived in the US i'd have no problem, I found a wonderful swimsuit with shorts set on a US website, but they don't deliver here. And the jogging bottoms for the gym are all sold out everywhere.
I'll be happy when I drop the next size down I can go into most regular shops then and buy stuff!

I'm a size 18 now and its still hard to find decent exercise stuff. Evans clothes were what I had to make do with at first, none of them are in a wicking fabric, all of them are cotton, and makes exercise very difficult when you can't get good clothes that help rather than hinder, so I definitely hear you on that one. There has got to be a market in the UK for proper exercise clothes for fat people. It really annoys me.

It's too hot.

DH is playing loud music after complaining whilst shopping that the music was to loud.

I hate hot weather, that's why I went to Oz in winter!!!!

HM do you know anyone well on the net in the US? Or in real life obviously that could get it for you. Have you tried emailing the company and asking them if they really really don't post to the UK? We could all email them and tell them our sad clothing plight.

I want some super cool t shirts but I can't find any to fit me.

It is too hot.

I just got a swimsuit with a matching skirt from the US - It was from Lane Bryant. I got my US internet friend to get it for me. Then i just paid her with paypal. But if you don't have anyone, you could always get one from the US ebay. Same goes for the gym stuff too. There is quite a bit on ebay and it's cheaper than buying here so by the time you've adding shipping you are not paying anymore and the stuff is usually much better quality.

If any US fat chicks are reading this - can you help??

I only know one person, but they don't have a credit card or paypal or anything and I don't fancy posting the cash out.
It says on their site they only post to the US/Canada.

Ohhh AHHHHHHHHHH OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just did the Billy Blank Tae Bo Video for Abs and Glutes.... Blummin' Heck that is SOME workout. I think I've lost a stone in sweat and my abs are burning! I've never had burning abs before. I went to a jumble sale at the school yesterday and towards the end they were selling off a load of exercise videos for 25p each! I suppose most people thought that yesterday afternoon it was too hot to even be thinking about exercise - the school hall was like a sauna.

Hommersmummy - try the American eBay. If the seller says on the ad that they don't ship to the UK then email them and explain the problem and say you're happy to pay the additional shipping costs and you know that shipping will take a while. I've done it lots of times and I only once had a refusal - but you will have to log on through the American site rather than trying to look at the American listings through the UK site.

Cat90 - well - its a nice quiet area, apart from the Chavs next door - and now Mr Chav has disappeared it has been very quiet.

Did I mention that Mr Chav has disappeared? Properly disappeared. The Police escorted him to the house to collect some stuff and a car and then say they followed him in to Doncaster - since then nobody's seen him and he hasn't been to work, seen any of their friends or drawn money out of their account or anything. Mrs C is so disappointed - she had gone to all the effort of getting some kind of Court Order / Injunction to stop him coming back and he hasn't even tried.

Tried ebay before I did the actual swimsuit shop search. I don't really fancy a second hand swimsuit anyways... just a little icky.

I'll figure something. Gym first, who knows it might do wonders and i'll be slipping into a size 20 or so before I know it.

Lots of EBay sellers sell new things. You might find a US Ebay based shop that deals in new cozzies.

Have Evans not got anything in the swimsuit department? Each Evans varies such a lot. For example, the one in Bury closest to me is useless, the ginormous one in the Trafford Centre is next to useless, and the one in Manchester is usually quite good.

Don't give up!

I'm an eBay seller and I don't sell second hand things under my business ID - I do, occasionally, sell my own stuff off but thats under my personal ID.

Look out for an item which has BNWT in the title (it means brand new with tags) or sometimes just 'NEW'. The other way to be sure of what you are getting - and being able (by Law) to return it for a refund - is to look at the amount of feedback a seller has got, a professional seller usually has lots of it and will also have quite a lot of things for sale.
