You've answered one of your own questions already, "You have seen more definition in your arms".

Remember, muscle weighs more than fat, you are probably toning up, turning the stored fat reserves into energy building up muscle. It will take time, to lose 30lbs or 2 stone, then I would guess it could take over 12 months.
I am now an expert by any way, but by burning more calories than you intake, you will start seeing results.
If you aim for a lb per week then that will be 8 months to lose 30 lb.

Article from EDP24

A district council has begun legal proceedings against a group of travellers that set up camp on the edge of Attleborough three months ago.

Around a dozen caravans parked up at the site of a new industrial estate, in London Road, in November.

The encampment came after Breckland Council spent more than �450,000 creating a junction and roadway to the Victory Business Park, next to the Haverscroft Industrial Estate.

A spokesman said that the local authority was awaiting a court date to seek an order to evict the travellers, who had been offered temporary accommodation at a designated short stay gipsy and traveller site off the A11 at Thetford.

�We are expecting a court date in the next seven to ten days. We decided not to move them on over the Christmas period because of the weather and they are not causing a huge amount of harm where they are at the moment,� he said.

The spokesman added that the illegal encampment had not prevented Breckland Council from actively marketing the Victory Business Park to prospective new tenants.

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!'

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place! It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, 'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'

The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?'

The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck.

(article from the Wymondham & Attleborough mercury)

He has fixed more motors than he can remember over a more than 30-year career.

The owner of an independent Attleborough garage is line for a national award after being shortlisted as one of the top car mechanics in the country.

Glyn Morgan, 48, got into the industry when he left school at 16, and has owned and run Breckland Auto Services, in Norwich Road, Attleborough, for the last 25 years.

The businessman, from Hethersett, has now been revealed as one of the UK's top mechanics after making the final of the Top Technician 2010 competition.

Mr Morgan was selected from more than 600 entrants to reach the final 24 of the national competition following a series of practical and theory tests on every aspect of vehicle repair and motor knowledge.

The Norfolk man will compete against finalists from across the UK, including Wales, Scotland and Jersey, in the regional heats in Warwick next month. The winner will win a �9,000 prize package.

Mr Morgan, who entered the top technician competition for the first time in its seven year history, said: �I was very pleased to get to the final. It is a national competition and there are a lot of very good technicians out there and to get to the final 24 was very pleasing.�

And what makes a good mechanic?

�You have to have good product knowledge, systems knowledge and keep up with the latest developments in car design and technology. Cars have changed a lot in the last 10 years,� he added.

The winner will be announced at the Workshop 2010 trade show on April 15 at the Birmingham NEC.

All I can say is that I've used Glyn for quite a few years now, and he and his staff are top notch. Great friendly service from a local independant garage & workshop.
.

Good luck in April

Landowners have pre-empted plans to almost double the size of Attleborough by launching a public consultation on a �4,000-home village� on the edge of the town.

Attleborough is earmarked for around 4,500 extra houses as part of a district council strategy to accommodate new growth over the next 20 years.

A consortium of landowners has announced a series of public meetings to shape its vision for thousands of homes to the south of the market town.

Officials representing Attleborough Land, which is promoting a

400-acre �village� to the south of the railway line for the majority of the growth proposed under Breckland Council's core strategy, will be staging a �community planning weekend� in the town on February 5 and 6.The scheme by the landowners, part of the London-based Ptarmigan Land Group, comes months before the local authority publishes its site- specific area action plan for the development of Attleborough up to 2026.

The community consultation, which will be run by urban architects John Thompson and Partners, has been welcomed by Taking Attleborough Forward, which was established in 2008

Yes I know it makes you feel better Mr E. I totally agree with 'a clip round the ear'ole', but unfortunately it is no longer politically correct. In fact I am not surprised about some of the behaviour of the younger generation, as any form of physical contact now is forbidden and I am sure that a cuddle following a grazed knee used to be such a comfort to a youngster in the playground. Anyway, clocks only go forwards and not backwards, so there isn't much we can do about it. The futuristic books which predict that the human race will eventually turn into a race of self preserving savages are probably quite near to the truth. I'm just glad that I won't be around to see it!

Yes, I know I wouldn't be able to do it but my only 'moans' are on here and I don't suppose the culprits can read.

The forum does allow me to let off steam which helps a bit.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could turn the clocks back to the era when we could smack such people round the earhole and have no comeback!

But unfortunately the pendulum has been allowed to swing far to much the wrong way.

Mr E. I agree with Tony. You will probably never get planning permission to erect a 30ft high fence. Anyway, why would you want to block out light from your home. You may as well live in a reinforced building with no windows, or move to a basement flat. As you know, life is so short and all of a sudden we are not there anymore and after a while no-one remembers us. There is a saying, 'least said, soonest mended'. You must have learnt by now that all your complaining and reporting and threatening has absolutely no effect whatsoever on whoever is continually disposing of their rubbish in your garden anbd whatever else they do, so why don't you stop moaning about it. It doesn't go away when you moan and I am sure it could possibly make it worse. I know it must be hard, and I would absolutely hate have happen to me what is happening to you. Whoever does it knows that there will be no comeback, so I expect the more you moan the more they will do it as they have nothing to lose and satisfaction to gain by annoying someone who they are thinking tries to cause trouble. I feel for you, but can see that you are getting nowhere, so for your own sanity I would suggest you chill out.
Best of luck! oh and PS, let hope we all have a Happy New Year

Well if its 30ft high then you might well stand a chance, but if its 30ft long then it will be a waste of time.
6ft high will be your limit even then you may well have to get permission.
What ever you are doing at the moment don't seem to be working, move on to plan 2 or would it be reaching plan 9. Don't think you will get your answers here, I hvae said in the past set a video camera up or perhaps its time to go too Human Rights and place your disagreements with them...

[quote="The Egyptian"][b]I am thinking about having a 30ft fence erected around my property. It seems to be the only way to stop the rubbish being thrown onto my garden. I have had more in the past few days and am absolutely fed up with it.

Even if I spotted someone doing it I would have to gain photographic evidence catching them in the act, even then they would only have to tell our Police that they are too busy studying for their 'A' levels that the Police would tell me that they are nice people and that I should forget it and move on. (That is what happened recently.)

Do you detect a note of sarcasm here? If you do it is entirely intentional.[/b][/quote]
