When you say 'shake things up a little', do you mean with the food or with exercise or both? I was running 3 to 4 times per week, and I've now changed that to a mixture of running, cycling and swimming. However, with food, I haven't done anything. Should I have a few days of eating above the limit and then come back down,…

I'm too old school.... Repton Elite Manic Miner D/Generation Giganoid (an Arkanoid clone for the Amiga) Rainbow Islands Treasure Island Dizzy the old list could go on and on...

I too seem to have hit a plateau! I've lost 69 pounds steadily, and now, I just can't seem to shake the last 5 pounds that would take me to my personal goal weight. I've shaken up the exercise routine a bit, I've tried eating above the 1250 calorie limit for a couple of days then going back to the 1250 limit, but I am now…

Based purely on the characters that they play, I'd go either for Kaley Cuoco (Penny from The Big Bang Theory) or Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica from True Blood). But in reality, I'm extremely happy with who I am married to, and wouldn't change her for the world :-)

There are plenty of entries in the database for take away food, but I would suggest that instead of having the fried rices, stick to plain boiled - it's about half the calories of the fried!

I use the Salter MiBody scales - they're expensive right enough, but you can have up to 20 user profiles (if that's important to you), they have extra attachments that go on the feet for use on carpet, and in the couple of months that we have had them, they have been extremely accurate. They also come with a USB stick so…

Eating on a budget is always difficult since fresh fruit and veg is so much more expensive than processed foods. How many are you cooking for - just you, or you and a partner? Have a look at the Healthy recipe section of the BBC Good Food website - there are lots of recipes that are very tasty, and not too expensive. If…

Do you drink your 8 glasses of water each day? I personally lose more by drinking the recommended amount of water... http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110225130511AAEZ2KT

I get mine from Asda online or from my local Morrions - in the "Free from..." section. If you're not vegetarian, there's a lovely recipe for Spiced Chicken Balti that has quinoa in it (so you don't need rice):- http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6303/spiced-chicken-balti

I've actually got the physique of Ryan Reynolds... Granted, it cleverly disguises itself as Jack Black.....

WOW! Thanks for all the replies - I didn't expect so many... I do currently exercise - normally 6 or 7 days a week, and currently around 6 or 7 miles per session either on the treadmill or outdoors as I'm going to do a 10k in September. At the moment, MFP suggests 1440 calories for me based on my goal of losing 2lbs per…

You know what, I still feel self conscious when I go out jogging, BUT I enjoy doing it and I'm more worried about how I feel rather than what others might think... Generally, I feel that other joggers and runners probably have respect for you getting out and doing something, and the peopel that are more likely to judge are…

She is not very fit, although she IS becoming more active, doing at least an hour a day on a treadmill - the majority of it is fast walking with the odd "jog" thrown in. She has NEVER been fit, and has since childhood been overweight. I'm not sure about maintenance, but she eats as close to 1200 calories a day as possible…

Glad to see it's not just me....

Hello from Fort William where it's rainy season 25 hours a day, 8 days a week :-)
