Most professional swimmers who turn their hands to another sport would still retain their swimmers body, those broad shoulders tend not to go away just because you've switched to sprinting. Very few start out with the body of a sprinter and end up with the body of a competitive swimmer - yes they end up with muscles and…

One day does not ruin a lifetime of changes, it's your reaction to it that ruins things. Thinking that one day can ruin weeks of dedication, or your future, leads to self sabotage and excuses for why it's pointless to continue. The day happened, nothing will change that, so you continue as you did before that day - if…

I'll be getting my work photo updated. It's not huge, won't cost me a penny, but once I get to my healthy weight (and I've maintained it for at least 6 months) I'm getting that photo changed.

Magikarp. Splash attack!

I'd be a Potoo. Just because. (I can't post images, and my failure to work out how to post them only encourages my Potoo aspirations) Edit: Scratch that, I can post images, and I'd still be a Potoo. Or maybe a Kakapo.

Crucified - Army of Lovers Safety Dance - Men Without Hats Unbeautiful - Lesley Roy and not forgetting, never forgetting.... Figured You Out - Nickleback. I think they're the only four I actually feel a bit cringey about listening to when I realise other people can hear me singing along to them...

It's entirely possible that the only difference between the two scales is whether you're weighing in 18lbs heavier/lighter than perhaps you actually are, with the losses/improvements you've been noting still being valid albeit at a slightly different starting weight than the one you had assumed you were. If they're…

I know someone who is so dedicated to the fitness lifestyle that it cost them their marriage, purely because they'd rather spend time working out at the gym or eating specially prepared meals for one with everything measured out exactly to fit into their daily requirements, than relax their self imposed fitness rules for…

I'm not really a huggy person, even with family. My reaction to non-family members hugging me tends to be similar to that of a rabbit caught in headlights - freeze, hyperventilate, and wait for it to be over.

Firstly - congratulations on your progress so far! Secondly - I have very little time for either BF% or BMI when it comes to how I, personally, feel about myself. Those two just give me more numbers to obsess over (one of which I cannot accurately test without certain equipment) and I'd rather focus on things I consider…

You'd be surprised at how many women think they'd be the one to 'cure' a gay man, or at the very least be the special little snowflake who'd turn his homosexuality on its head. I'm sure more than a few do it for the giggles and safety of flirtatious interactions without someone thinking they're entitled to the beast with…

I don't know. Trying to seduce gay men has never really been my style, seems like a lot of wasted energy when you consider the returns. On a similar I've never personally understood straight men who, upon learning a woman is gay, try to seduce them either. Must be the magnetism of the unattainable.

The only things that have reduced to the point of needing a smaller size so far have been my breasts, and that wasn't quite the reduction I was hoping for. At this rate I'll be flat chested and still wearing my fat pants. As a lot of people have said, everyone will lose weight differently depending on their structure and…

Technically yes. I don't log it, nor do I weigh myself at a set time when I'm sure I'll be free from food/water/whatever weight, but every day I step on the scales at work and make a mental note of the reading.

I just like beards, whether they're salt and peppered or rainbow dyed. Beards are fabulous.

I couldn't fit into any of the spare scrubs we had at work. That and seeing a photo of us all lined up, actually seeing that I was the fattest member of staff was shocking. I always knew I was fat, I'd make jokes and simply shrug my shoulders about being fat, but actually seeing how fat I was really shocked me. We have it…

Even noodles marketed as being zero calorie have calories. What you'll find is a lot of low calorie food items being listed as zero calorie due to a stream of thought that ldula88 explained very well. The majority of lists featuring 'zero calorie' foods will mention celery, cucumber, lettuce, etc. because they are…

I like Graze, and I think that if you're definitely not going to do the whole bulk buy thing or if you're not living on tight budget, then they're pretty good. Personally the portion sizes were just right for snacking, the seed mixes in particular I could stretch out over 2 days as I only really used them to tide me over…

"You're looking slimmer, have you lost weight?" From someone completely unaware that I'm improving my fitness levels, so I'm taking that as a compliment to reinforce my determination to stick with the lifestyle change.

Beautiful Wreck - Shawn Mullins

Haha. Me too! It's a serious, irrational fear I have XD. I don't tend to get into bed naked anyway. The house is far too cold, I wear a full coverage onesie with pyjamas instead. Not every sexy, but it keeps me warm and toastie on those nights where I can see my breath and my nose feels cold as an ice cube. Plus I'm a…

Repo: The Genetic Opera, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Airheads seem to be the three I could watch on repeat night after night. Airheads in particular.

You look around the same age as one of the managers at work so ... 35. Ish.

For fun I step on the scales at work pretty much every day, but never log the weight. Those weigh ins are just part of the routine, everyone at work does it; step on the dog scales, see what they say today, and then start seeing how accurately the scales weight pre-weighed bags of animal food so we can make excuses for why…

Two things. The first is laziness, it takes far more effort than some people are willing to admit to change the habits of a lifetime, especially when your entire family think eating that amount of food and doing so little is completely normal. When your entire family think being obese is an inevitable part of our genetic…
