About 4 years old. Photos of me don't happen very often

I asked Santa for a fitbit last year (because of the higher spec, including sync-ability without extra doodads) but I got the FT7 and it's fine. going to have to do my manual data entry if I want to do data entry though, because mine doesn't seem to link up with the IR fob my hubby bought for his bike-based monitor (also…

This. You are doing bad things to your liver and your body in general by drinking that much alcohol on such a frequent basis.

I do

Vegetables, high-fibre foods, protein. And water/no added sugar squash. Walking whenever I get chance and the occasional jog with my husband (was more regular until the weather went a bit pants in the UK and it's dark before I even leave work now, never mind get home and get my running gear on). I have lost weight and…

See, I read that with a whole heap of tongue-in-cheek going on, just goes to show how difficult it is to take tone from the written word welcome, stewartcarden, hope you find some good friends here

Aw, c'mon, don't quit! Life isn't all or nothing, regardless what the 80s power-speakers sold you, taking some healthier steps in your life doesn't have to mean you must eat lettuce, run marathons and measure your calorie burn to the nearest 10th of a cal all day, every day. go for some walks in the Northern hemisphere…

I go for just shy of the 1200 that MFP allocates me and at 4'10" I am steadily losing. Need to exercise though, even just taking stairs instead of lift (elevator), squats whilst brushing teeth, random 50 start jumps (jumping jacks) before I sit on the sofa (couch) each time. I am 28 though, and I don't understand this…

^ This You can't change the dress/weight mismatch at this exact instance, so let it go. Get your focus onto getting back to where your are happy with your figure, not how unhappy you are with it. The start jumps is a great plan, but I personally can't feasibly restrict my eating to before 6pm because I'm often still at…

I have been on and off bothering to monitor since about May this year, and when I don't bother to monitor I don't lose (and sometimes gain!) I am definitely not a role model. As you have asked, though, this is what I do - it is not a recommendation that it will be the best plan for you, or even that it's the best I should…

Hello, I am 4'9" and I have lost 15lbs to date. It has been very noticeable, to the point where people at work who don't notice things like haircuts and piercings have commented on how much slimmer I look. The shorter you are, the more noticeable weight gain and weight loss is, in my opinion, because us shorties have less…

Bless you! We all feel a bit sorry for ourselves from time to time. You don't need to "give up precious free time to exercise", you need to get exercise buddies and change the view from chore to fun. I love walking, especially in the countryside and have even learned to enjoy jogging, though I'm still very much at the…

In the UK the saying is "Starve a fever, feed a cold" but given that you can often get a fever when you have a cold it's all a bit contradictory, as well as being non-scientifically based advice. Last week I ate all kinds of rubbish and did very little exercise because I had a cold (read felt sorry for myself). I put on 2…

Curries from scratch are always good - stick to tomato-based as opposed to coconut/cream-based ones. You can buy okra in many UK supermarkets, thought they are generally a bit cheaper (and you can but different quantities) in the oriental and ethnic food markets that are in many of the UK cities. Adding these to any…

I can't get MFP to let me, a 4'10" 28yo any less than 1200 calories as a target, but I am often 50-100 cals under on proper sedentary days, where I don't exercise beyond the short walks between the car and my home/work offices. this is giving me slow, but seemingly consistent weight loss when I stick to it properly. Test…

50 squats each night whilst your brush your teeth. If you have the co-ordination to do it in the morning too then go for it. (I don't, too sleepy!) The bus stop idea is also one that I use, though I walk briskly to the next one along the line as I attend work in a full suit and none wants to run in that unless it's the…

Amy Louise, The first thing to say is well done on being honest and open about how you feel - this is really hard to do sometimes. Also, thanks for reaching out to the community, it's good to see that there are people who can offer you a lot of great advice here. I am a batch-maker, on the odd weekend I will stick on some…

I'm 4'10" and I want to get back to about 7st 7 (which is 105 lbs), but I don't know if I will get there, I might settle for about 7 st 10 (108lbs) but I must get under the 8st barrier again. I was ill when I was in uni and got down to 6st 4 and that was bad for me, I was bony and lost my bosom, which has always been ample…
