I used to care because my gym is a university gym but then I realised that the majority of the time nobody really cares who is working out too and those that do are easily ignored. Another realisation was that not all of them are crazed fitness people but slightly more challenged in the realm of fitness like me, haha! So…

You know what, just do what you feel. I see your POV in a way but also hope that your mum gets some appreciation for doing your shopping for you.

I use my university's gym so yeah, it was completely mobbed!

Surely there's only so much it can do when your hair is actually sweaty? :-/

I mix it with low fat cottage cheese as a (sort of) replacement for mayo, as well as an even higher protein booster. then i like to have it in a big bowl with sweetcorn and cucumber- and it's so healthy! It's definitely one of my go to lunches and you can't fault it, being so low carb and high protein. Another favourite is…

Bump! Me too!

I did that for a while and I did lose weight but certainly not 10lbs over such a short period of time! I'd imagine for that to be even physically possible you'd have to spend those 72 hours in the gym as well. Still, I wouldn't recommend it as it's not very balanced or healthy. I've since got gradual weight loss through…

can't help I'm afraid but I have the same problem so I'm bumping this for later. I think I have an actual sugar addiction - worse sweet tooth ever!

Chocolate chip cookie dough. I wouldn't even care if I got food poisoning from the uncooked eggs. It's the best thing EVER.

Either eggs (poached, scrambled or boiled), sometimes with a small slice of toast, or porridge. I usually add a little syrup to the porridge to sweeten it up and I use the Quaker microwave packet mix with skimmed milk. It's lovely!

When I get anxious or really stressed I just instantly crave chocolate or junk food- the things that goes through my head is kind of "oh, it'll be fine, you need this" so it's tough to stop myself! The best way for me is to have a large cup of tea, as the water fills you up and find something crunchy if I'm still hungry- I…

Just out of curiousity, how are you going to create the outfit? sounds like a brilliant idea.

Sometimes the best way, as people have said, is to view it as a lifestyle change. Don't deprive yourself of the odd treat but balance it out. Also, it's amazing how many wonderful healthy recipes there are online- you could find some might almost rival pizza, i promise! Here are a couple of my favourites-…

I'm getting my first ever (and probably only) tattoo when I reach my goal weight. Not that it'll have anything weight-related on it but it's a good incentive! The other day I got a vegetable steamer though, to help my progress.

Tuna is fantastic, with carbs practically non-existent and loads of protein. I like to have a tin with sweetcorn and vegetables for lunch a couple times a week. Also cottage cheese has a surprising amount of protein and is very low in calories and fat.

can I just ask where the pie recipe is from? even the name sounds awesome :D

hahaha, that's the best gif I've ever seen!

Jane Russell in the 40/50s - this picture is stuck on my mirror. I may never look like this but she was not a waif and she was a woman amazingly confident in her own figure. I mean, i also think Keira Knightley is stunning but my bone structure and genetics are blatantly nothing like hers so there's no point in being…

ISTJ which is funny because I'm pretty sure when I took the test a few years back, I was INFJ. Either I've changed or become more/less honest!

I'd crash the red carpet at the Oscars!!

Really well said. I keep my diary for my own benefit, the message boards are for advice/discussion when I need it.

you're my hero! thanks!

Wow, mac and cheese?? Do you happen to have a recipe or is it just a case of replacing the cheese? :)

I have it on crackers and with an apple for lunch. Or (probably oddly) plain in a sandwich if I'm taking a packed lunch! i've seen a lot of people really don't like the taste much but I really like it. Don't really feel the need to buy those ones with added ingredients like pineapple or chilli. I was just glad to find…

Soft-boiled egg and toast soldiers :) I'm such a child!

I don't understand it sometimes. So often, they're like "I have 10 fish and chip suppers a day"- maybe if they even cut down to 9 they might notice a difference?! I'm dead serious, at that weight they might even lose some pounds. And that's just a starter. Take off the gravy. It's a tiny step but not one of them does it.…

Once when I was a kid, we were given a giant jar of Scottish tablet homemade by a friend at Christmas. I still adore the stuff but I ate the whole tub in one day. And it really was a big jar. All condensed milk and sugar ingredients, naturally. Still can't believe I did it- my self control has improved but unfortunately my…
