Right now, just after six in the morning, I’m listening to the birds chirping outside my window.

Good to find an age group I fit in to. I’m 72 and have the final 7 or 8 pounds to go - first to lose, then to maintain. I am fortunate that I appear to have few old-person-related problems to inhibit activity. I volunteer as a National Park Ranger and this primarily means foot patrols on trails. I’m also an active member…

Apart from the answers that you already have, I had thought - in my innocent little way - that the variations in scales' readings might well be due to variations in barometric/atmospheric pressure. Well, what do I know!? But I couldn't find any other explanation for having gained one and a half pounds while out running . .…

Mine are UK doubleF cups and I'd rather they were not so large. I've lost about ten pounds since starting seriously to monitor my eating and increase my exercise and the only change has been that I have to wear my bra fastened on the tightest fastening - cup size is not shrinking. I would love smaller appendages but I…

When I was at my heaviest, recently, I weighed 154 pounds for 5 feet 6 inches of height. Only my top half was a size 16 (UK): my lower half was UK size 12. It doesn't get any more. Sometimes it goes down to a UK size 10 - which makes buying a DRESS for this body impossible. If I get one that fits the hips, I can't fasten…

I said in an earlier post that, when I'm out walking, I sing - but I also sing in the rest of my life, too. I lost the greater part of yesterday with concert rehearsals and then an evening performance, so I could only fit in 30 minutes' walking. But I checked on a different site for calories burned SINGING - and at my…

Ten things I like about my appearance! Easy I have great legs – two items, one for each leg; this includes slim thighs (counts therefore as another two items) I have a great smile My hair is really shiny (only partly due to artificial colourant) My hair is naturally almost free of grey (just the odd strands) – not bad at…

It doesn't have to be an anonymous parent. There's a father in our sports' club who is a one-day-a-week househusband (his wife works four days a week outside the home) and we KNOW that, when said father gets cabin-fever - that one day a week stress! - he leaves the three-year-old asleep and goes out for a training run.…

I sing as I go: they think I'm nuts, anyway, so singing just adds to the impression. Also: I COUNT. If counting paces is good enough for Olympic runner Paula Radcliffe, it's good enough for me.

It doesn't matter what you wear EXCEPT you can't get away with a CHEAP sports-bra or CHEAP footwear. Invest in both and then wear anything else you like!

Stuck scales syndrome happened to me. So I thought - &*£)"^$)%_ and carried on trying. And the following week, the "missing" amount had gone from the scales, as well as the latest week's one pound. It happens.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. He might have nothing more to give at the moment.

Me, too, I'm always thinking of food, all the time: or rather – it's my Inner Child that's doing it. She grew up in the immediate post-war years, when the UK still had rationing and she thinks she'd better eat what she can, when she can – because there might not be any more for a while . . . The thing is, if I were raising…

When I was still teaching full-time, in a school where the headteacher was prepared to negotiate EVERYTHING with the students and their parents (but not with the teaching staff), I was called to task by said headteacher for observing to some girl(s) in my class that "buttocks are NOT a fashion accessory". And they still…
