I weigh myself every day but officially weigh in on Sundays.

Blur - No distance left to run

I think your mum B. I think mum A was maybe over reacting but then if she has children from other families coming it's a bit more understandable - she's making the choice for her kids and also as the responsible adult for a load of other children. To be honest though I don't care that much about head lice so it wouldn't…

Women have it worse. A recent study showed that average salary for women negatively correlated to their weight whereas men have a positive correlation. Also I think that women are more likely to go through life events that can have an impact on their weight (pregnancy and childbirth being the largest), and generally women…

£100 a week ($168), for a family of 6 - includes food, alcohol, cleaning, personal hygiene, nappies etc.

I use the recipe function for dinners, it is really good. Personally I don't worry too much about the vegetables - just put 1 onion or 1 pepper - and just weigh the meat/pasta/potatoes/rice. Then if I make it again I go into the 'edit recipe' and change the weight of anything 'bulky' that's changed.

I have three meals a day; - breakfast is usually cereal with milk (250ish calories) - lunch is either mini pita bread with smoked salmon and cream cheese, something eggy on toast, mushrooms and toast, soup (250ish calories) - dinner is a normal family dinner (e.g. spaghetti bolognaise, chicken pie) which is anywhere from…

Dishwasher. I've only had one since we moved last year and it's the most awesome thing ever.

Did you breastfeed? That helped me lose some weight.

If you mean weight after the baby is born I lost about 20lb when I was pregnant with my son (was 198lb when I got pregnant, 175lb the week after giving birth) which wasn't intentional but a nice surprise. Puking for a couple of months, carrying the extra baby weight and going off loads of food can do that to you.

I was wondering that too. I have a horrible baby who thinks that more than 2 hours sleep at a time is unacceptable and wakes up at 5am to hit me in the face unti I get up. I weighed a pound more this morning than I did yesterday and was way under calorie limit (though that was probably water retention to be honest).

Drinking masses of water

What are the meal replacements, are they drinks or prepared dinners?

Oban, 5'5" and looking to lose 2 stone

Jenny from Argyll in Scotland. Joined nearly 2 weeks ago and want to lose 2 stone (at least). Feel free to add me :)

I read it as if the OP is consistently going say 100 over the calorie allowance set the allowance as 100 lower than it needs to be, so there's a bit of wiggle room at the end.

I need to lose about 30lb but had never had the motivation before thinking it would take too long and I wouldn't be able to stick to a diet. Then I got a stomach bug and lost 5lb in 3 days - losing a 6th of the total I needed to lose (in a horribly uncomfortable way admittedly) got me to actually look into how to continue…
