Here's my little cat Puddy. She is a rescue cat - her owner died when she was around 8 years old. She was very anxious and a real scaredy-cat when we got her. I think she is happy with us..... she wakes us up every morning with plenty of kneading and drool and taps us on the arm if she thinks we are not awake to play.

Based on Harris-Benedict your Basal Metabolic Rate is 1311. This is just what you need to stay alive i.e. in a coma so doesn't take account of exercise or daily life routine

How tall are you?

That is so great to hear - really pleased for you that your hard work and commitment has saved this major surgery. Well done :)

You look beautiful and so happy. Congratulations :)

Hi I live in the UK and bought a Polar FT4 based on lots of comments from MFP users. (I found the cheapest price on the Halfords website). It does what I need, I can swim in it, and the machines at my gym can pick up the readings from it (they are Life Fitness ones) - you can also use the online polar personal trainer with…

Haven't laughed so much in ages. Thank you everybody :)

My job made me extremely stressed the last couple of years (stupidly long commute + too much responsibility) and I realised the only solution was to quit. I was extremely fortunate to find a freelance position working for an old colleague and now work from home. I realise that this isn't a solution for most people, in my…

I've had a calf injury the last few weeks and have used the time to do some weights and upper body stuff. It's amazing the difference it has made :)

I downloaded some workouts from the 'Women's Health' magazine website. There is one that I have been doing 20 mins 'Power Pairs' that has some great plank-type exercises that have made a noticeable difference to the sides of my waist (more than sit ups have). They also work other parts of the body at the same time so you…

Yey! Rich Hall is ace!!

1.Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth on Sunday night at a teeny weeny 200 capacity venue in Hebden Bridge (yey!) 2. My Bloody Valentine touring again after years in March. 3. Just got tickets for All Tomorrow's Parties Festival at Alexandra Palace in May - Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Grizzly Bear headlining - also The Walkmen, Dirty…

Thanks for that great suggestion. I work at home all day at the computer so I think this will really help :)

Yep I'm in my 30s too and trying to lose 40lb by May (or ideally earlier!). I've been on MFP 30 days today. I like food so try to burn my calories off through exercise - or at least I did until I tore my calf muscle 2 and a half weeks ago! Have sent FR to both of you

Great list! Tickets for My Bloody Valentine at Manchester Apollo in March booked... .... wondering if it will be as good as being a squashed 19 year old who idolised Kevin Shields back in 1993 at the Town and Country Club :)

Yep, the Lips are always great. We saw them play at Jodrell Bank Telescope 2 summers ago - it was amazing seeing their projections on the huge dish of the telescope with all the balloons and tinsel blowing about! MAGIC! Best gigs of last year: Dirty Projectors at Gorilla in Manchester (tiny venue, great performance) Patti…

I downloaded some workouts from the Women's Health website. They seem to have a lot that you can access by signing up for free. The Power Pairs one is having definite results for me!

Hi I'm 38, starting weight was 182 (currently 174) looking to get down to 140lb. Also from england... please feel free to add me :)

Thank you for your advice. I went for chicken & cashew nuts in the end and tiny bit of bf's special curry!

Hi Perla Yes, I know exactly what you mean!! 10 days ago I got exactly the same pain - I'd been overdoing it that week and my calves were already achy when I went to the gym. After 20 mins on the running machine I got an ache and twinge on the right side of my calf and had to stop running completely. I also had a pain at…

Really sorry to hear that Kent guy. Happy for you to add me as a friend if you need some support x :)

Can you make your food / exercise diary public?

Interesting article in the UK Guardian last week: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jan/16/vegans-stomach-unpalatable-truth-quinoa
