Oooh, interesting. I may have a go next time I wash late at night. Thanks :)

Pub quiz teams are important things! Though my boyfriend has been intimidated out of one because his mate waxed lyrical about how great he was so he fears letting them all down. Go figure!

According to my ex, my intelligence. Idiot. Tell me I'm pretty, not that you're scared of me!

OK, I just put my hair up in a bun on top of my head. There shall be no sitting up late reading with this! Every movement and the centre of gravity of my head is now so high it's flailing about like crazy! From a lying down perspective, I can see it could well work very well. Uber neck exposure ftw given my bedroom has a…

First time my boyfriend stayed over he woke up in the middle of the night and shouted "Argh! A squirrel!" These are all good tips. I'm definitely thinking I might be able to sleep without trapping it all in an armpit! :)

Oooh, atop the head is a good idea. As is the bun. And anything that might save my waves for a second day is a-okay with me.

Nothing to add regarding engineering stuff. BUT I did go to a university without visiting it, kinda hated it and dropped out. Thankfully straight into another university which I loved. The first university had the higher reputation but that's worth nothing as I hated it and dropped out. Second university isn't really…

Well I don't know about anyone else, but just reading this topic makes me want to poop.

I love long cardio sessions as a sort of meditation - zone out, constant hr, mini challenges and epic calorie burn to justify the mixed grill afterwards. But HIIT is also fabulous for bringing the pain and making you feel totally exhilarated in a different way. Long cardio is more zen; HIIT is more pounding out aggression…

Older. Don't think I've really fancied anyone below the age of about 35 since I was 16! I think I may be more mature than usual as almost all my friends are older than me. Otoh, we all have a load of fun as they're *so over* teenage angst.

On week two. And yesterday was a fast day and it was easier than last week where I broke on the second fast day and attacked my fridge out of boredom. Lesson learnt - planning and doing stuff and it's looking up. I'm going to keep at it for a while and see what happens. I tend to eat near TDEE anyway but it is already…

LOVE mine. Seriously, I spent about 5 years on tampons then someone mentioned a mooncup. And I adore it. Far nicer than a tampon. Yes, there's blood, but there's no drying stale blood held up against the vaginal walls, no risk of TSS, no guesswork as to whether you can leave it for another hour or really need to change it…

Pace fretfully. So long as you occasionally slow down, look pensive and then rush off to make a small note, it's amazing how much walking and how little work you can get away with!

And there we have it. The only negative comment is from someone who finds tattoos totally unattractive. And you're unlikely to change people's minds on that; it's not necessarily close minded or whatever, just personal opinion that dictates the perspective of the more generic reasons not to get a tatt. And with that in…

Weighed when I arrived at parents' house on morning of 22nd. Weighed this morning as I'm going home. Zero change. I'm putting it down to the bike ride on xmas morning and only eating when actually hungry. Easier than tracking and trusted in everything I'd learnt that I wouldn't go totally overboard. I'm also down in…

No love for London? Well I'll step up! Adore it. Everything in central is in walking distance and that, or atop a routemaster, is the best way to see it. Still stumbling across hidden gems of architecture that are sufficient to stop me in my tracks. And the approach of turning ruined churches into gardens creates some of…

1. Do you like yourself? Why/why not? - Usually yeah. 2. What do you like about yourself? - My hair, intelligence, perseverance, generosity. 3. What don't you like about yourself? - That I tend to be overly self-critical. Ha! 4. Do you ever have days when you look in the mirror non stop trying to fix imperfections? -…

Big Granny and Little Granny. I always thought because Big Granny was about 5'8 whilst Little Granny was about 5'1. My mother says it was cos Big Granny was fat whereas Little Granny wasn't. Charming!

No real advice I'm afraid. I strap my knee and power through with squats and stop the moment I get pain as opposed to discomfort. Lunges are the ones that really kill my knees.

My PT always says hi at the gym, and has a chat and eggs me on on the rower and stuff if he has time. He also has a facebook page for him as a PT and he does the mass 'inspirational' posts on that and occasionally comments when I post something about the scales liking me. Perfect balance from my perspective.

Well this is a kicker. The traditional xmas showing of Die Hard is late on the evening of the 21st. That's my year ruined!

For those in the UK, there is this: http://sizes.darkgreener.com/ A dress size predictor. Highlighting the appalling differences in sizing across stores, but also meaning you can avoid that horrifying moment where you realise a Marks and Spencer size 14 is really far larger than that. ETA: Ah, there's even a US size thing…

When I was working, I think I was eating about what I am eating now - 16-1800. Plus doughnuts, half a pack of biscuits could be mainlined, chocolate, brownies (half a tub from Sainsbury's), plus the odd chocolate bar. In roughly a week. And though I did have a gym membership, I found the place to be intimidating and I just…

Not lost a lot of weight but toned up. Mother congratulated me on my weight loss and said I was looking a lot better... Before pointing out my beer gut and making b1tchy comments about stretch marks on my thighs. Ever supportive, that one.

Oh yes. I was a skinny runt as a kid and then puberty gave me a figure. Not so much weight related but I'm still always mildly shocked when I find I have hips. I seem to have a separate mental image of my post-puberty self that's more accurate, but I'm still mildly convinced I'm the sort of androgynous child on whom…

Arsenic eaters in Styria... little amounts can be good for you. LITTLE being the operative word, but the Styrians with their healthy glows and longevity ate far more arsenic than you'll ever find on the shelves in the UK or USA. It's in everything. And it's really not anything to worry about in such small quantities.…

Reached the point where I got ID'd the other day and he had to work out if my year of birth put me over 18. I'm 25. I've also taken to high fiving bouncers if they ask for ID. It's just more fun than getting miffed that I look like a child. And probably brightens their day too if the last chap is anything to go by.

Also - PORT! OMFG give me the port!!! I've no idea how you learn more. I was lucky as my parents always had wine in and every weekend would be something new and exciting to try. I did go to champagne tasting for a hen do though. Discovered I smell in depths and thus am totally useless when it comes to anyone understanding…
