I think it's better to cheat only when not sticking to your diet would be annoying for you and everyone around you - for example, on Christmas Day, or at a family wedding, you don't want to be working out how many calories in the food. But if you cheat once a week by eating everything that isn't nailed down, you will just…

I took a look at your food diary - no wonder you're starving! I think you could get a better calorie 'deal' instead of 30g of cocoa, for a start - you could have one-and-a-half Oreos for that! Could you cope with just zero-calorie drinks, giving yourself more for actual food? And you eat them so often, surely you must have…

New exercise idea!!

I'm the same, so I limit myself to savoury foods only until 6pm, which works for me. The only exception I allow myself is sweet white grapes - they keep me going until the deadline's passed!

Seems reasonable...

Sociologists who announce 'discoveries' of stuff we've known all along, e.g. kids with rich parents do better at school. Gosh, really? People who earn money for sending letters to magazines with 'handy hints' my grandmother would have thought were old ideas e.g. Leave your clothes-pegs on the washing line to save time.…

I couldn't have a cut-off time - I often work late, tonight it's nearly 5am and I've just finished. If I'm hungry, I make a sandwich with one slice of wholemeal bread, a scrape of butter, thick marmite and lettuce. I cut it into 4 tiny triangles and eat it slowly with a drink. That staves off serious hunger pangs... and if…

Perfume counter salesgirl ...or maybe the Air Force??

No, you're too young for me

No, it's just an ordinary white loaf like a bloomer or farmhouse, bought from (usually) Greggs bakery.

Why not make yourself a Rewards box? Write lots of zero-calorie treats on pieces of paper and pick one at random whenever the scales don't go down. Examples: Long, luxurious bubble bath Ten minutes doing absolutely nothing Buy a Lottery ticket Sexy massage with oil by a loving volunteer! Get my nails done Go bowling A day…

The censorship reminds me of a joke: Q. Which three English football teams have swear words in their names? A. A r s e n a l, S c u n t h o r p e and F***ing Chelsea Anyway...

Scrambled egg sandwiches, made in the morning and eaten cold at lunchtime. What was I thinking???

My kids adored Manta Force and Red Venom, big spaceships with lots of tiny ships and figures stored inside. Did you have that in the USA?

Wow! Thanks to all for your great responses - keep them coming! There's quite a few here we have (or had) in the shop - and I get to play with them, er, I mean, test them to make sure they're working! We have the Ewok village, also the Weeble tree-house (empty), but we thought it was from Acorn Green, so thanks for…

Your hair's not blonde now, though.

I'd say - size 14 IS slim! Enjoy it while you can!

You have a sweet, dreamy look.

Pokemon World for sure - I love Pikachu! Would you rather receive a fun surprise parcel every day for the next 5 years, or £1000 right now?

Yes, I could, but what I like about myfitnesspal is that it motivates me and measures my progress - really I wanted to set myself a target which would automatically reduce by one cigarette every 3 days (or whatever I set it to) and give me a progress chart and a timer which would spread the remaining cigarettes out over my…
