I've been using MFP fairly consistently again for the past couple weeks; I lost 4 lbs and then another 1.5 lbs. I think I definitely prefer it; the nutritional info is hepul, as I could never understand what the points values on WW represented with the new system!!

Oh, and I have a couple Japanese hand-folded steel kitchen knives that are AMAZING. You can't beat a Japanese knife!

I collect Japanese samurai swords - I have a Shimada wakizashi sword from the Muromachi period (15th-16th century). Wakizashi are shorter than the katana, with a blade of about 50 cm. I think they were worn with a katana, and were "backup sword". I have a wooden katana as well that I received as a present in high school,…

I met my boyfriend for the first time about 12 years ago through a friend, but we didn't get to know each other properly until about 2 years ago. We met on holiday (I was visiting my best friend and his best friend was visiting her as well and had brought him along). We got along great and started seeing each other not…

Dried apple chips! The crispy ones, not the soft ones... Also any dried fruit...

I'm going to agree on the Jordan/Katie Price comment. She's a waste of space, seriously. You know she was heard to say that she thought Dita von Teese looked horrid and unattractive? KATIE PRICE thought she was fit to pass comment on how someone looks (esp someone who looks "shock horror" classy)?? Eff off! On the same…

Have you tried buffalo steaks? They're apparently lower in sat fat and taste nicer imo. Or maybe a fillet steak..They'se expensive, but they tend to also be a more manageable size, and little fat!

I've got one - it's sort of a weightloss blog (I have another foodie-ish one and a travel on eI haven't updated in ages). The formatting is a bit basic as I'm getting a friend to sort it for me, so no fancy visuals! http://rapidlydecreasinggirl.blogspot.com/

Which one was this, the Louise Redknapp one (she's blonde and married to a footballer, used to be in a girl band I think, has a kid or two) or Dawn Porter (dar hair, does a lot of these random documentaries)?

Mmm...sounds yummy! And I lvoe the fact your recipe doesn't contain artificial sweeteners. I've gotten all excited before when a post came up for a "healthier" version of a dessert, and then been disappointed when I realised it contains splenda or some other chemical!

I just started doing both - I did WW for 2 years and lost about 40 lbs...then pretty much put a spanner in the works when I went on the Pill and gained all of it back! There are meetings near my flat so I'm going to start going to them as well as doing MFP - I like MFP as I have an app on my phone for it, so much easier…

Ooh that sounds good!

Hmmm...I uploaded a photo to see what I'd look like 30 lbs thinner. More or less the same apaprently but with thinner thighs - made me look like I had enormous implants though as it kept my chest the same size! Heh!

Sauteeing them is nice too. I used to do it with butter but have found it's just as nice with olive oil or rapeseed oil and a bit of salt and chilli flakes.

I would never date a guy who was "short", and for me short is anything under 6ft. My boyfriend is 6ft3 and thin - I've always gone for the tall skinny guys! I'm about 5ft3 and chubbers - but even when I was a bit chunkier I never had any shortage of guys I found attractive chatting me up. Heh, maybe if you're tall and…

I put a couple on my blog...for some reason I can't copy and paste the text but they can be found at: http://greenfrock.blogspot.com/2010/11/super-healthy-spinach-and-kale-soup.html http://greenfrock.blogspot.com/2010/11/oxtail-soup.html

Sounds good to me, I'm in. I have been so lax recently, we've had so any takeaways since I started exams it's not even funny. Bleugh!

You don't exactly just "stand" on them - my gym uses them and you basically do exerises on them - pretty much anything you do on the floor and standing you can adapt for a power plate. It's haaard!

I've been skiing since I was 6 - don't get to do it as much now I live in Scotland, though I used to go every weekend when I was living in Switzerland. I'm planning to get to Glencoe or Glenshee at least a few times this season!

What is it? Is it like Alli?

Sounds ace

My cat used to be overweight, and I was confuzzled as I never fed her overly much - enough, but not heaps! Well, the little bugger is a semi-outdoor cat, and I discovered she was getting fed at more than 3 other houses! I moved house about 5 years ago and she's been steadily losing the pounds since then. I guess my current…

That soudns great!

Sounds good, I love blue cheese

Sweet potatoes mashed with a bit of curry powder, some milk and the tiniest bit of butter. Or cabbage, done any way.

I've never heard of these before, but hey, worth a try right?

That sounds amazing - I've had a real raving for mexican food lately!

Oh yum, I love lasagne!
