Well I'm on a treadmill so if I speed up I have to start pressing buttons to do it
but music makes the time fly by, the tv helps at times too

When I used to go to Dundrum gym, Aerobics Oz style was often on. I nearly came a cropper a few times trying to watch it when on the treadmill. Them girlies in that show have dangerous curves.

That is one thing that I wish i could do - watch tv while running. An episode of nothing to declare and I'd be done! Epic

Gm - dangerous curves?! Interesting assessment!

Grandmaster all women have dangerous curves no matter what their size....I'm a seriously curvy size 18 and I can out do any skinny little yoke with my assets
I must say I've nearly come off the treadmill on a few occasions, one was due to a brain freeze with some very cold water, another was trackies falling off lol

It's a phrase I trademarked a few years ago. The official Oxford English dictionary definition is as follows:

'Curves, dangerous'; a phrase that describes a female of the species with extremely attractive physical arrangements, particularly in the hip and waist area, to such an extent that it would cause a gentleman an indecent amount of distraction to the point where he could suffer a severe injury.

I love to waffle :P

Clearly so do we all!

And NiMhaol, I totally bust your dangerous curves theory - once I get rid of the spare tyre(s), I'll be a freakin' motorway

Not necessarily! I've lost 5 stone since I started running 2 years ago, and I've still got curves (just in a size 12 version rather than a size 18-20!).

I have that effect on people lol

If you don't want to go down the surgery route - you could always do a bit of burlesque and start wearing corsets...I'm sure Grandmaster would give his opinion

Rainbow I'm now a 16-18 down from an 18 -20....I'll still have cracking boobs when I eventually get to a size 12 They've always been big

Similar here, exact same cupsize after losing the weight, but these days I wear a 32-34 band rather than a 40!

Doesn't that involve growing your hair long, making it jet black and having that weird straight fringe that a lot of girls have but which very few suit??

littlehedgehog

I think I'm about an 18 at the minute, down from 22 Walked for a couple of months before starting ct5k, and dropped a good bit. Weighing myself this weekend, and hopefully I'll have hit the big 2 stone mark

I may have come across wrong - I'm very happy with my lack of curves

I've dark brown hair, or a wee bit of it anyway as I shave it now and I wear a Superman t-shirt. If you're going to aspire to be someone, you might as well aspire to be the best :cool:

He sounds like a wise man. :cool:

Here you go. You's girlies will no doubt drool over Tom Welling and Justin Hartley. Cassidy Freeman does it for me, amazing eyes.

I'm not sure about her curves, for some reason I never seem to get lower than her face. Amazing looking.

Ah now lads, I leave ye for a few hours to go see a film and ye've all gone mad talking about corsets and boobs and Smallville...
Continuing the off topic theme... I went down from a 36 back to a 32 back but boobs are now bigger and corsets are the best!!!
Also, for the record, back in his day, Dean Cain was a far sexier Superman :pac:

All this talk of boobs could be quite incapacitating to a young gentleman like myself. Thank heavens that I have some self restraint left

I think Tom Welling is a good Clark Kent/Superman but Dean Cain was very good as well. For me, Teri Hatcher is still the best Lois Lane.
