I walk around barefoot (no socks, either) at home all the time. If I need to go to the top of the garden or something, I rarely bother to put shoes on. As soon as I get home, the shoes come off. However, I feel I need the support for working out, so the trainers go on before I do any kind of exercise, even in my living…

I don't tell many people that I know. No one in my family or at work knows. I talk about it with one friend, because she's been losing weight (and so successfully) for a few years now, and it's nice to have someone to talk to. I rarely discuss it with my OH, but he sees me weighing food and on my exercise bike, so it's not…

I love them! Just thinking about them has made me want to go and get a couple from the jar in the fridge. I never liked them when I was a kid, but as my tastes changed with age, I found that I can't get enough of them.

Knitting, baking (just discovered I'm not bad at bread), reading (I usually count that as productive). Cleaning the cats' litter tray - one of my least favourite jobs, but I feel very productive after I've done it! Lately I've taken over the Twitter account for my other half's business, since he hates PR and is too modest,…

I think about food all the time, too. I don't restrict myself and have 'forbidden' foods because that makes me miserable as sin. I eat pretty well and I eat what I like within my calorie limits. But still, always thinking about food. I plan what I want to eat later in the day, or the next day, or on the weekend. I think…

Good stuff! 14 days in a row is a great achievement! If today goes to plan, this will be my first 7-day stretch on track for a long, long time. So 14 is the next benchmark for me!

I'm rarely hungry until the evening. That's when I usually relax and actually enjoy eating. In the morning, it's a good hour or two before I can contemplate anything other than coffee. Even by lunchtime I'm not usually hungry. Lunch is usually eaten either at my desk whilst working, so I don't enjoy it and don't want to…

Asparagus is my favourite. Steamed, with lemon juice squeezed over it.

54! Wow. I knew I was unhappy with my body, but that's quite a shock. Hmm.

My boyfriend has tried several times to quit in the last three years. He's tried it cold turkey every time and it hasn't worked for various reasons. Stress is one, and the fact that he's a social smoker and actually enjoys a cigarette when he's having a drink. But. He showed an interest in quitting again just before…

I have a UK one (sorry, OP) that someone might like: http://www.graze.com/uk/p/ZWWH6MQ I haven't had a box from them in a while but they have some nice new dessert type treats. And brownies. I think it's time I moved the next delivery closer!

I usually buy salmon or white fish, generally frozen because I have to be mindful of my finances. The salmon I'll just wrap loosely in a foil parcel and pop into the oven for 25ish minutes, until it's nicely cooked through. I tend to do the same with white fish, but I have been known to steam that in the microwave, too.…

About a month. Six weeks at the most.

Yes. I have a medical condition which means I can't work out (gutting, because I love exercise) and I'm having to do it all by watching my calorie intake. It works, but it's slow. I was at least 14lbs lighter than this a couple of years ago when I was able to work out and I'm really struggling to get below my current…

It's good! I love it. Prefer it to Marmite as the taste is a little stronger and more earthy, somehow. I love it on toast, covered in sliced/mashed avocado.

I'm 5'11" and currently aiming for 154lbs. The lightest I've been is probably 149, three years ago, and that suited me well, but that seems quite far out of reach at the moment. 154 should at least get me into some of the clothes that have been sitting in my wardrobe, unwearable, for the last year!

Lager. Usually Coors Light, if I'm having it at home. If I'm out it's either Stella, Grolsch or Heineken.

I'd do it in stages. Pull out certain things at a time and try them on. Maybe things you weren't so fond of in the first place. If they don't fit, make sure they're in good enough condition to give to charity and find somewhere that would like them. Then on another day (so it's not too overwhelming), pull out some more and…

Reading often helps me. If I'm upstairs and get really into a book, I won't want to leave it and get up to go to the kitchen for a nibble. I also knit (I know you've said you do craft anyway), which I like because it keeps my hands busy and I don't want to risk getting crumbs or grease on my wool!

I love 'breakfast foods', but eating in the morning when I get up makes me nauseous. I have to force myself to do it and almost always regret it.

Wow, loads of people have ignored the fact that you live with other people and can't just throw away their food... I have the same sort of issue. My boyfriend likes to have crisps, pork pies, scotch eggs, ice cream and things like that in the house for when he fancies a snack. And I find it very hard to resist. I've found…

I work in one of those annoying places with no microwave or facility for heating your own food. Since I can't have anything hot unless it's made with boiling water, I have a stash of cup-a-soup in my desk drawer. Usually one of those with two Krisprolls and a cheese triangle sees me through lunch. When I know I won't fancy…

I've never done anything with mine. I leave it loose and sleep just fine. If I ever do fall asleep with a ponytail or bun in, that's when I wake up in pain!

Walking around the two towns closest to where I live, I'd say it's pretty normal. It's so depressing to see.

I'm going with it. It's one week of the year. I'll do things in moderation, mostly. I'll drink too much and eat too many mince pies. I'll dig into the cheese platter and I'll definitely be given chocolates as a gift, so will munch those as well. By January, I'll be feeling like I really want to get back on track and stop…

I love mine. Never had a problem cleaning it. Bit of elbow grease does the job. I use it for salmon and prawns, mostly. Mm!

Frequently. But seriously, I have it with milk. Semi-skimmed milk, because skimmed makes crappy coffee. No sugar, because ick. I'll have it black, if I'm in the mood. I don't log the calories because I don't use heaps of milk and it's never affected my weight loss at all.

I used to love it in sandwiches. Mix with a little vinegar (and pepper, if you like), then pop it on some bread with slices of cucumber. My nan used to make me those all the time when I was younger.

I have something like that every now and then. And I think to myself 'bugger the calories and fat, I'm going to eat this and enjoy it'. Then the next day, I go back to counting and caring what I eat. You only live once, and I don't want to make myself miserable by stressing over a nice bit of pizza now and then. I also…

I take a multivitamin and an iron supplement. Both are because I've got health issues and they're supposed to help. The multivitamin doesn't seem to do anything for me, but I see no harm in continuing with it. The iron is something my mum wanted me to take to see if it would help me feel better. So far (I've only been on…
