My hubby uses kg and I use stones. So my profile pic at the moment shows 12-3.8.......which means 3.8 lbs till my number changes to 11 stone something! (huge mile"stone"!!) People will say 10 and a half stone etc. when on this site I mentally change people's weight to stone so I know whereabouts they are. Babies weights…

Greats topic! Well done for bringing it up. Firstly well done on starting your weight loss and secondly good on you for realising that problems start at a young age. I have 3 young kids and my take on it, is if they are hungry they should be fed. This means at meal times - my son asks for 3rd portions sometimes. Not more…

Just trying to show that ignorance and discrimination affects us all (even white) in some small way. I most def was discriminated against in that instance due to my country of origin and the staff's inability to see that official papers which had let me into their country and hire a car were not good enough to buy alcohol.…

The law of the state was that I had to be 21, not have a USA driver's licence! The hand written note was not law! The manager and staff were not really obeying the law of the land either!

I am Scottish and white. When I was in the states I could not buy alcohol using my passport as id as the sign above the teller said "driver's licence is the only form of identification we accept". I was arguing my case...and loosing.... I was speaking to the manager asking why my uk driver's licence and passport were…

I think you are looking amazing just now! New profile pic should be your goal for today! But perhaps a non-number related goal will help keep you going. So say, at Easter I will be able to do whatever in a certain amount of time......that 6 weeks away. Something daft - like ride a horse or another new sport .(lots of new…

I think originally you gave up butter and milk for lent and making pancakes was a good way to use up any still around! I will make some pancakes, but perhaps not tomorrow, maybe at the weekend. Banana and nutella!

I'm from the uk and a bit confused with some of the ingredients here! Is Splenda a sugar substitute? What are craisins? Cranberries? I would never think of adding eggs!! Or cheese! Some great ideas here! I have a handful of raisins with some syrup or some fresh fruit in the summer. These ideas have reminded me that I used…

Reaslistic goals are the best and with no finite number/amount to loose you know that the results will speak for themselves. Good on ya, girl! - Although you…

Hi Ladies, I am 5'4 and on my second week of diet/fitness. I am from the UK and so size 4/6/8 etc all sound very tiny to me! I am 175lbs and am aiming for 140 (first goal - I'll see if anything else would be achievable). Probably a UK 12 - I had thought that US sizes were 2 below ours, but I must be wrong - I think you…

Well done on your weight loss!! That is tremendous. I have been on diets before and get disheartened with the slow weight loss. But think of where you would be if you HADN'T lost that weight - and remember that loss was over Christmas as well. Also think of this Christmas coming up - how good are you going to look this…
