  Although my weight is fine- I still spend an incredible amount of my day active as I can't bear to feel inactive- I don't like how it makes me feel.

  I remember reading that the human body is designed to move- constantly; and that our intake of foods is too much and too high in protein.

  Basically, it was said that exercise is the answer (running in particular-which helps me keep my spirits up too as it calms me and stops the depression completely)

  I sometimes lift weights-used to do them 4 times a week-the muscle has to burn fat to stay muscle-so that works- but my job is very physical-so i'd rather use my time running as it clears my head.A controlled study was done which showed that the seriously depressed improved incredibly when they started running.Id recomend it to anyone capeable- and most people are if they take it slowly to start with-just walking and breaking into a run-then slowing down again- building up the time sensibly.

  I cycle alot- 5 or so miles a day-mountain biking -pretty hard work- and have recently gone back to running as this is the most effective for me-I can eat what I like and loose weight if I run only 3-4 miles a day.

  So i'm a advocate of exercise rather than diet for weight stability.If you want to feel good and loose weight this way you can expect to loose 1-2 lbs a week if you run for 30 mins a day- which is all I do,,,

  And it makes you happier than dieting

  Vicki Boer and Donations

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any of you wish to kindly make donations to vicki boer, we are formulating a vehicle to attend to this as we speak.. we have been in touch with vicki, who is understandably deeply distressed at the turn of events that have forced her to relive much of the trauma which she hoped that this court case would put to rest, and are wresting a plan which would allow her to receive personal donations aimed at her well-being rather than enriching either the wts or her advisers.. an address will be forthcoming shortly, together with a paypal email address which will allow you to send your donations or well-wishes to vicki, scott and the girls.

  it will not be a canadian address or bank account.

  there are a number of important points that any donators would need to assess before donating any cash:.

  Death - the downside of having friends...

  by LittleToe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i helped bury a friend, and in a few minutes i'll be leaving to attend the wake of another, who died yesterday.. i have less than a handful of friends from pre-exjw days (nothing new there - we're all in a similar boat, i'm sure), so my more recently acquired friends are precious to me.. for those that i count as friends (which obviously includes a number on this board), please let it be known that you are precious to me.. i've helped bury about six, during this last year (i hope that doesn't put anyone off from befriending me).

  every one has been like a hammerblow .

  regardless of beliefs, or lack thereof, death is still an enemy to the living and the dead (imho).. with that sombre note, i must away....

  (((Ross))) thinking of you today while you're saying goodbye to your friend.

  I have lost nine friends and family in the past 3 years now-some were expected-some sudden; I've felt lately that friends are SO precious, we have to look after them and love them while we can.

  And we have to tell them that while they're still here.

  You're special to me too; hope this coming year will be a happy one for you.

  Are you a lady or a real woman?

  by happyout in

  1. social
  2. humour

  subject: are you a real woman?

  ladies - if you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up.

  real woman - if you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad.
