Sometimes, it'll be vegetable and prawn tempura, sometimes pesto pasta salad with extra veggies and pinenuts. Sometimes just a protein shake, sometimes a chicken fillet burger. Today, it was dim sum. Although that was, looking back, slightly higher in sodium (plus MSG) than I usually have, so I'll not bother weighing in…

Different muscle groups are used for different movements of your legs. Different parts of each muscle group are emphasized in different movements. And going up stairs is lifting your entire body weight against gravity. Even if you use a stairclimber machine, that doesn't allow for the forward motion as well, so if your…

0.6 lb isn't anything more than a couple of glasses of water. Or a couple of bathroom visits. Don't overthink these things.

Exercise is good for you. But managing your food intake is what really makes the difference in reducing body fat. And stop relying on the scale as your measure of progress - it's not helpful when it demotivates you like this. Check your inches by trying on something from your wardrobe that's always been a bit tight and see…

Climbing those stairs should help, then.

Just buy a mini portion one. Over here, we can buy individual ones from supermarkets that clock in at about 100 calories. And 100 calories of genuine cheesecake is far, far better than 100 calories of something that doesn't make the grade in terms of taste.

With a loss of 133lbs, I think you've already worked out that magic potions don't work like eating appropriately for your activity level does.

Swimming.

See a doctor?

Great. The only thing is missing is being told that all these things cause or can cure your Rheumatoid Arthritis/cancer/sprained ankle/migraine/period pains and will alternately send you to an early grave or make you live forever.

And that is complete bollocks. I've had RA since I was about five. And Ehlers-Danos III Hypermobility Type since conception. In the years since, I've heard and tried all the stupid cut-out-entire-food-groups, take supplements and all the other 'great' ideas that only serve to make some quack a bunch of money from flogging…

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for DUI. If you're going to be driving, don't drink. Only the most stupid person finds that a difficult concept to comprehend. It's just as easy and just as likely to kill a little boy on the first time as it is the tenth.

In a country where those laws are in place - she shouldn't have tried to cross. But DUI should have a mandatory ten years for the first offense. No exceptions whatsoever: you drink and drive, you do ten years.

I wonder whether the Sugar Is Teh Enemie posters can explain why, when I have considerable 'bad' carb intake on a regular basis, I'm still losing fat at a perfectly safe level? And when I eat high fat foods - or high protein ones - the trend of my fat loss continues? I'm not special in any way, I eat and drink crap, keep…

[looks in refrigerator] I have... Lactose free milk. Enough for one small cup of tea in the morning. Greek yoghurt. A jar of pickled herrings. Onions. Lower fat Hellmans (because I like it better) Salted butter. And 13 little stubby bottles of 2.7% beer. It's not the end of the world to have to get up and leave the house…

Yep. Leave space in your intake and exercise so you can enjoy every canapé that a waiter wafts past you with. Drink lots and enjoy yourself. Far better than whimpering in the corner with a soda water.

It takes about five minutes out of my day to log food. That's not obsessive for anybody. The length of time that it's possible to spend on the boards is a completely separate matter. And I would ignore the guy complaining. The calorie method is perfectly adequate and recognised worldwide. Selling a branded version with the…

But...but...mochi. With a giant fresh strawberry inside. The greatest sweet thing ever invented anywhere.

Ah, I see. Suppose that living in London means it's just normal to me to see foods, both healthy and unhealthy in large quantities, as easy to find. I think I'll pass on the cakes, though. Not really my thing, although they do look very pretty. [heads off to Japanese restaurant 120 yards away]

Uh...we have food here, too. What's the difference?

You do know that it isn't compulsory, don't you?

Thoughts: Dr Oz. Stop there and change channel. There is nothing to see or think about.

NOTHING is up for discussion. Reputation is a ridiculous concept, harking back to the sale of women. And it is no more your business what another woman does than it would be for me to discuss whether you lie there silently praying it's over soon, whether your husband was happy to not sleep with you before marriage because…

Nobody's admitted to coffee and cigarettes yet.... [creeps away]

I'm amazed that sugar hasn't been blamed as the sole cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis yet. It's been a while since I've been told about a miracle cure that doctors don't want people to know about.

If somebody is old enough to start a thread on the value of an intact hymen - and plenty if women are married with kids at that age, she's hardly in kindergarten - then she's old enough to understand that not everybody has the same belief system. Something people seem to be forgetting is that those who do not see a problem…

Nope. A) I don't want to be thin. I want to be a healthy weight and body fat %. B) Being fat isn't that great.

No. I'm telling you to compare equal periods on the two graphs. Whilst your conclusions may be accurate or inaccurate, at least you'll be following good practice by taking information from the same timescale.

It is ok to leave the uneaten food on the plate. It can't bother you, then.

Pickled onions, cabbage, celeriac, gherkins, cucumbers, beets, all good. Eggs, good. But no, pickled eggs = not good. Eggs eaten with pickles = fine, though.
