Well, technically you hand't blown today *yet*. You just decided to give up early, knowing your dinner would put you over. I can relate, I just had a crazy 2 weeks of birthday celebrations and fancy dinners. I also gave up early and didn't bother to log as I didn't really want to know the truth. I'd say best thing to do is…

Well done!

....when you have to throw away condoms because they are past their use-by date. Oh, wait, it's not a fill in the blank game? Oops.

Sure, lots of people here know what they are talking about (not saying I'm one of them). Assuming you went to a qualified nutritionist, they probably know what they are talking about too. What aren't you telling us? Did she say to limit it to 900 calories or is that the number which you think you'll hit with this plan?…

Wrong side of town from you, but there's a big Asian supermarket just south of Wembley IKEA on the North Circular. Might worth a check there for Durian fruit.

Back to your original question, don't worry too much about your sodium. It doesn't hang around in the body so if you are drinking lots of water, you should be fine. If tracking your calorie intake isn't a trigger, I'd say, yes, track them. Knowledge is power. And just as it's a motivation for others to lose weight, it can…

Sweet, fatty, baked goods. I can usually stop myself with all other foods, but cookies, cakes, etc are not safe when in sight and reach of me.

I was 35 with my first, 38 with my second. No problems with either. I don't think you really have to be more cautious than someone younger. You have to be sensible, yes, but not cautious. I would go to your OB/GYN and tell them you are thinking about getting pregnant. They can do a simple blood test that will tell you how…

Cooked in water, but finished off with milk. Then a teaspoon of a mix of ground flax, seeds and goji berries. Then some frozen blueberries and a squirt of agave syrup.

Don't make it about wanting to change her. She will view it, either directly or subconsciously, as you aren't happy with her and don't love her for who she is. I would go about it by just doing more active things *with* her and keeping good foods in the house, no junk food snacks. Go out for walks, roller skating, swimming…

What's wrong with tamarind seeds? In your mighty list of things that you claim are added to food, you list tamarind seeds just before washing powder. I am curious what food product contains washing powder and how tamarind seeds, which are edible, fall into the same list of "horrible" additives.

Easiest way to figure out conversions is to go to Google and type into the search box, "61.4 kg in stones". Without the quotation marks. It'll come up instantly with the correct conversion.

That's not true. In 2005, when Dove first launched it's Real Beauty campaign, sales went up by 20%. (source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2011/10/20/beware-the-hidden-traps-in-cause-marketing/) Quite a significant number in an already saturated beauty product market.

I know the feeling. And the freezer doesn't stop me either. What stops me is an empty cookie jar. I just posted on my MFP status a couple of days ago that when I bake, I now only do it when I know that most of the product will be given away or eaten by others. So for bake sales and birthdays. Then if there's 8 cookies left…

Sweet. I will use some of these lists for my online shop next week. I can just pop a list in and it finds the foods for me, so you have all saved me a bunch of typing and thinking!

My best friend suffers with depression. You can't get someone to change if they don't want to, that's advice that goes for non-depressed people too. But you can try to help them if they want to help themselves. I would sit down with him when he's feeling ok and not tired and talk to him honestly about it. Tell him you love…

If you eat shellfish, you really shouldn't feel so squeamish about eating insects. There's not a lot of difference.

Best tips I can give you: There's no shame in buying seedling plants rather than growing it direct from seed. You are a bit late to start off a lot of things and getting the seedlings from somewhere else will save you time and the aggravation of trying to get things going. Better to do a little every day than only one big…

Just jumping in here so I can remember to look at those vids tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

I'll start then. The crazy smoothness of her legs and the way such a strappy bikini just sits perfectly on her skin without making any indents. There's more of course, anyone else care to add?

One of my summer jobs in university was working as a scuba diver in a shopping mall. I kid you not.

So using our new PS spotting skills, who would like to talk about the latest cover of Shape magazine?

No one? <sobs quietly to herself>

I can usually spot something that is photoshopped, but can't say how exactly. Nice to have it explained and pointed out exactly, thank you!
-
It depends is the answer. I wouldn't pose nude for photos to be published online or elsewhere for something like Playboy or otherwise. I have and would again pose nude for photos for a present for my husband. I would pose nude for photos to be published for some cause I believed in, like something about healthy body-image…

I don't crave necessarily junk food, or what I think of as junk food (nacho chips, prepared cheap microwave meals, fast food) , but I do often just want to eat whatever comes to mind, usually lots of carbs. Toast, grilled cheese sandwiches, cake, cheesy pasta, or nuts. Funny enough, not chocolate, or no more than usual! I…

Why did he kiss you and say all those things felt nice? Because they do feel nice. And he probably does love you and doesn't want to hurt you. But..... Just because you love someone doesn't mean you are meant to spend the rest of your lives together. I have many ex-boyfriends I still love, but they are also still exes. He…

It's just practice. If you do the same class again and again, the moves will become easier to remember and you'll manage better. I agree it's tough to walk into a class that's been going for ages and try to keep up with all the regulars. Don't worry about it too much, just keep up as much as you can, and that goes for…

That is a fantastic NSV! Well done you! (and I'm ever so slightly jealous, but not in a "I hate you" way)
