I like 'school and I are very getting'. I'm curious. What are they getting? When will they get it? find out in next week's thrilling instalment of...

30 - 40 a week for food, if you're in new zealand you're going to have a hard time, in America with twice as much food for your dollar that's going to be much better. Firstly, find a cheap supermarket. You may need to travel to do this. Secondly: buy seconds of whatever you buy. the sunburned capsicums. The funny shaped…

the whole 'i love you' era has left me wanting to blow chunks frankly. :p If I say 'i love you' to a pal, it's a joke meaning 'thanks' for something. or it's an overtly manipulative joke trying to wangle something. Otherwise I don't throw it around. I love my children and my family and that's who I love.

those little protein bars you get quite cheap at the supermarket: i love the chocolate and raspberry ones. They are FILLING with a capital F. and only 250 cals or so.

plan a snack you can survive that will be filling. Do you have chicken breast at home? eggs? Whole wheat bread? What would happen if you had a stir-fry made with chicken breast and vegetables when you got home, slathered in soy sauce and honey? Woudl that work for you? What about a chicken noodle soup sachet, with some…

Wow, this is depressing. height 5'5" HS weight 54kg = 119lb Now 92. = 202lb that's a spare person.

I had a relationship that started on line. i moved 1000 miles to be with the guy. Never again. What you don't know about the other person you sort of 'fill in' in your mind, and you fill it in as normal, or like you. It never occurs to you that it is going to be anything else. So there is an enormous base layer of…

Your actual problem is that you are taking too much notice of what other people eat, and do, and say. And you are counting experiences, remembering experiences. this is what we call where I come from a head f**k. I am surrounded by people eating what they like all the time and I am too poor, of all things, to buy anything.…

Nobody eats like a horse and doesn't gain weight: we just think they do or they say they do, or they exercise more than us. the laws of physics cannot be altered. the number of calories in food is a measured amount, they burn the food (after drying) to see what heat is given off. That heat is a form of energy. As we know,…

You lost weight very fast, which suggests to me a whole lot of water fell off you. Water binds itself 4 parts to one with glycogen so if you use up this very convenient store of sugar it looks like you've lost five times the amount of ... something. But your body needs that glycogen store. So it has to retrieve itself. So…

beef casserole, baked potato with butter, steamed beans and roasted carrots. oh blast, forgot to log the roasted carrots.

There are some self-righteous, negative people out there today! Thanks for the link. They look gorgeous. unfortunately I live on the other side of the world... :( I have eaten sugar free candies before, the only danger with them is if you have too many you get the runs... in a bad way. And smelly farts. And dangerous…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/#results This: plug yourself in there and it will tell you what to do. Then you can go into 'goals' and enter the information there. Then just carry on carrying on. by the way, it's consume fewer calories than you burn - I'm sure someone's fixed that by now but just in…

To be honest I'm getting a picture of someone whose self-worth isn't locked inside her. And that comes I think from being a mother, and a bad marriage, and all that stuff. Who is Cosmobella when she is alone? What does she want out of life? What career? What future? Without her own life created as the foundation of her…

the mummy returns. No, not a sequel to the mummy. Just some terrible knockoff. Fell asleep.

It's intriguing: i find this one repetitive. And very like a young man, too. Nobody's not losing weight at 700 cals a day. Otherwise they'd put all the biafrans on a starvation diet and watch them get fat, wouldn't they. It's wise not to point the finger at the stupidity of others when one's not fully locked in about a…

Make the bikkie with 1/2 quantity of sugar, see what happens. does it go gooey and spread? does it just stay put but be doughy? If it seems okay, have another shot with the bikkies at zero sugar. Sure, they might not be 'flavourful' - or no? If they're peanut brownies they're still going to be flavourful, just not sweet.…

I think your mum has a 'set weight' in her head that probably has a lot to do with where she feels she should be at, rather than you. Her generation perhaps exercises less, has less muscle and therefore 'expects' to be at a certain 'weight' and that's as far as it goes. She will have had forty years stepping on the scales…

A cordless drill. :D this could be fun.

Oh! Just remembered something! In the tropics on rainwater we used to wet our hair, turn the shower off. Soap ourselves, lather shampoo - turn water back on, rinse, turn water off, do conditioner, turn water on, rinse. It was a water saving technique over there - but maybe it would give you cooling off moments in the…

Don't have ten minute showers. You should be able to wash in 3 mins. also: don't have showers after exercise for a while, and watch your blood pressure. Is it too low? Are you underweight? Editing: just read your comment about long hair. One thing I'm doing with mine is to just comb it in the shower and not wash it. i wash…

Intriguing. I think if I imagine a bulimic binge, I imagine someone going to the supermarket and buying a box of six cream buns, a block of icecream, two packets of cameo cremes, a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter. Coming home, squashing that in - and then barfing the lot back up. ie... huge amount of food consumed…

I think it's just some kind of holdover from the 70's, when people were doing more exercise and not so worried about getting fat, but were attempting to eat 'nutrients' and half of them were going vegetarian. I remember quite a few people going vegetarian and stacking on a ton of weight. like... a TON. Eating all those…

I'd get a nice new salter mechanical but that's because I like them. They don't require batteries, you feel more real standing on them, and zeroing them manually is satisfying. Having said that they don't re-zero 100% accurately on their own... how level is your floor? Do you have a designated spot for your scales? What do…

You can smell it quite clearly in your wees. It smells sweet, totally different from usual wees.

You are perfect. Tell them to stuff their fears up their jumper.

You look truly lovely and your family, every single obnoxious one of them, deserves a thick ear. I loathe the way family talk to themselves behind a person's back and wind themselves into having a 'stand' on some issue or other. Just horrid, you know they're doing it and you can't stop them. Just put it down to their…

this thing calculates a lot of protein for you. Anything over 50 is fine. Try this... http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/#results fill it in, and then look at the different systems they use: miffin st jeor and harris benedict are the two options without getting out the callipers and you can see they…

Yeah, nah. do you tell alcoholics to have 'just a little bit'? Me, I haven't had any lollies for a week and I'm quite happy with that.
