Hm, why not go for a sort of cargo capri when it gets cooler? Get something that can be tightened around the bottom and a dark colour to keep the heat in. I would make a suggestion to try shorter shorts(mid knee length, not those awful high-waisted bum flashers) with some woolly tights. Shorts and woolly tights with cool…

Everything in moderation but I've cut pasta out completely because I can't control myself. Pasta is always a bugger for people though.

Linda Mcartney burger with the mozzarella cheese inside topped with chopped vine tomatoes and a sweet onion relish on a bed of lettuce. It has to be a rustic Scottish morning roll, too. Vegetarians can chow down burgers too, I tells ya!

Your workout gear is SO AWESOME! The back of that sports bra is gorgeous and you look great in it. Nice one.

I'd love to see a 'If every day was like today you'd reach your goal of ***lbs in ***days/months/years' and I'd also like to see a weekly average of the 5 week thing. 'If every week was like this one then you'd reach your goal by...' Get to it MFP!

For me it's down to the exlusives and I tend to enjoy Playstation's releases over Xbox. Significantly more games are multi-platform now so really my next gen console choice is solely based on it's interface and the controller. I have small hands so the Dualshock has been my main reason for playing a PS over an Xbox. PC…

I consider myself high-maintenance. Would he have to pull me kicking and screaming from my comfy bed everyday? Yes. Would I make him cancel dinner reservations because my sixth run of Skyrim is more important? Yes. Would he have to tell me to cut my hair because my fringe had slowly covered my whole face? Damn right he'd…

Just here to say you look much better with a beard. Also nice job.

I've been brought up in a family where finishing your plate was pretty much mandatory. Learning when you're full is a strange process but if you put in some effort you'll start recognising it. This is really important for preventing a binge. When people say 'eat slowly and chew/enjoy your food' that's really all there is…

Jamie's 15-Minute Meals. Problem solved.

Negative.

I like that I can get along with anyone even if they're not a dork like me. So I guess I'm accepting of others?

You just have to put yourself out there, reply on forums, log daily, comment and encourage people when you do get friends and suddenly MFP is your best friend. My best success began when I started posting on the forums and now I have some friends who are really fun and helpful. It makes logging even more rewarding to have…

Omega-bump for L8R! Off the top of my head: Milk Lollies Couscous Salads(lol, really) Roasted Butternut Squash with honey and garlic(mmm, also AMAZING in a wrap with lettuce and a little sour cream and chive sauce -just chop the chives and mix 'em in. Also the squash keeps REALLY well in the fridge so you could heat it up…

But you'd fall through the floor!

Everyone can see a big fluctuation of weight throughout the day, especially for taller people. When you take in a large amount of food the numbers can go a bit haywire. I'd put a day aside once a week as your 'real weigh-in' day and take that number as your current weight. You can still weigh throughout the week but it…

Gotta go fast!

Shower, moisturiser, hair, make-up then clothes. Doing your hair and make-up first gives time for the moisturiser to dry. I'm not comfortable doing that in public so I forgo the moisturiser and chuck my clothes on asap, that's my problem though. The lady felt comfortable and probably didn't expect anyone to think what she…

Aha, this is a cool idea. I'll obviously be the Champion, I'm the very best.

I'd like to say every morning but really I hop on multiple times throughout the day. A habit I've kept after years of disordered eating. I've tried weekly and failed within hours, haha.

Ricecrackers, Snack-A-Jacks or plain ricecakes(which are good if you can pocket some jam from the breakfast thingy). Wholegrain bread sandwiches? You'll need some slow-burning energy since you'll be there a while. Why not take cereal in tuppawear and get a little carton of milk? Or if you can't keep the milk cool just get…

I call it the Frogger.

Thanks for that but as I said I have no body dysmorphia, I may reach a point between 120-110lbs and decide I want to work on gaining muscle/losing body fat and come straight back to 125-130lbs but slimmer. My goals are not set in stone. @Hannah_Hopes, I think that's exactly what'll happen. I just need to keep doing what…

Couscous hasn't killed me yet but you never know.

Awesome! I have a party to hit on Halloween, it'd be cool if I could be 20lbs closer to my goal by then. SW:>160 CW:137 UGW:110-120(I'll decide when I'm comfortable)

The young Asian man, top right. I need my breasts examined.

No Panda here but I'll replace it with a generic Chinese takeaway. I make my own rice and just get the meal without it, there's enough sodium in the sauce never mind takeaway rice. But I'd budget in a mushroom curry if I wanted to eat it, even if I had to exercise to keep a normal deficit. So 3.

Oh, I wonder if this would work with Quorn chicken... I shall have to find out. I actually wouldn't mind using FF cola for a marinade if it went syrupy. I think this would work best on a grill for me with some greaseproof paper.

20lbs and people who see you very regularly will notice, this includes yourself. It's a sort of rule by the thumb. Look at a before and after picture of a 20lbs weight loss and you'll see a difference, 10lbs not so much but I'm sure you'd feel that.
