Thanks everyone, you are all very encouraging. Plus my fiance is away at the moment so I take news and internalize into a big horrible mess. Thank you for helping talk me off the ledge. K x

Also you can make "pasta" out of some veggies. I use zuchhinis and i also make mashed potato and rice with a cauliflower, and turnip with cayene pepper for fries.

Hey where are you? I know your pain, I am currently in Shanghai and there is a huge battle to buy western produce. I also bought a mini counter top oven which has helped a lot.

I find it pretty easy, then again i tend to go over and make it back with exercise. Morning is usually fruit with coconut milk, or some toast and juice lunch is veggies and meat, or perhaps a sandwich (tuna salad for example) Dinner is lean meats, veggies, or soup - i looooove home made soup. I don't tend to hold myself…

We are both the same - I lost 34lb, gained 20lb back. I have 40lbs to lose! I am based in China so my days are one day ahead (I think) but we can motivate each other x PS - I have been adding EVERYBODY! If i have missed anyone then feel free to add me - we can do this (doing imaginary cheerleader high kicks with pom poms).

I'll be your friend :) I have 40lbs to go! ;)

I have had chinese women tell me to my face that they don't understand why we are together, as i am a "laowai" and he is "zhongren". I'm like "dude, he's a laowai too!"

Haha, bless him, I totally relate to that, AND the sneaky pictures!

Erm well I'm being given a dress by my fiancée cousin who's a designer. It won't be tailor made as such though as she's very busy and important so it will be up to me to slim down for it. There is a plus size range but u prefer the couture stuff. Her latest stuff is pink, totally not my bag, but the previous two seasons…

I'm british, currently living in Shanghai! I have 40lb ish to go!

WE MATCH! Made Christmas day extra special right? I don't know my exact date but we do know it will be summer 2015 - My name is Kelly

EPIC! Thank you! Usually i ignore them , depending on my mood. I get more stares when I am walking around with my ABC fiance. They cannot fathom a world where a white girl would want a Chinese boy. It literally blows their mind! ;)

This is a good idea, and i need silly entertaining things so i am totally going to download and try prancersize, looks hilarious!

Hi! I'm in Shanghai! For the most part, in places such as Shanghai and Beijing the people will be used to seeing "laowai" (foreigners) so it won't be as jarring, BUT do expect them to stare, they can't help it, we are exotic to them. It's not meant to be rude, they have different etiquette systems so staring isn't impolite…

I have a saying that helps get me through the day.. "THIS. IS. CHINA." Any ideas of etiquette, rudeness, lifestyles etc, that we know, have zero relevance here. This place is nuts.

Wow - replies already - thanks guys! <3 xxx

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I am Koko Kabama and I play for the dolly rockit rollers in the UK. I have been with the league since they began in January 2010 and have bouted numerous times. My thing is that I've actually gained weight since starting the sport and not in a muscle way either (except my legs which are solid).I…

Well i suppose its how you look at it, i think my irrational scary thing is quite funny and causes my friends and family no end of amusement at my expense. but ok, um... When i was a kid i wanted to be a dolphin and i didn't understand why this couldn't happen.

I have an irrational fear of people walking too close to me on the stairs. if people chase me for a joke i sit down, there and then. This btw stems from my brother chasing me up the stairs as a child, until i once threw myself up the last steps and somersaulted and broke my hand. And then from my dad chasing me down stairs…

Lol i wish i had your figure :)

I sometimes struggle with being under my calories, to be fair i do have them set to the max lb loss... Stick on some music and do some dancy hoovering. Or generally prance about in front of the mirror with a hairbrush prtending your a superstar. This is how i exercise at home. And then i get to eat a bit more :)

Ok. Take a deep breath. And move forward. Ok, so yeah you messed up a bit, indulged a little too much and you've gained a bit of weight. This won't destroy you or mean that everything is pointless. Just accept the error, think positively to what you can do to help work that off. I know the tears and i know the emotional…

if you think about it, it sort of works in a similar way to weight training and body builders etc. To tone up and lean out you do lots of reps at a low weight. To bulk up you do low reps, high weight. its the same with exercise. In the sport i play we use a lot of explosive energy for a short time, 2 mins max. This means…

I have massively solid, big calves. Apparantly any kind of yoga, pilates etc is good for creating lean long muscle, but to be hoenst, it could just be how your body is. I will never be able to fit in a pair of knee highs unless made specially.

Don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is a new day. Yesterday i had a compkete write off of a day, went out for dinner, which alone at least 1000 cals. oh boy oh boy.. it just means today I start again :) x

Christina Hendricks fo sho. She's probably the most obtainable for me anyway as we have the same figure I'm just a size bigger.

The BEST thing about roller derby is that it doesnt matter how fit you are, what size you are, anyone can start at any point and it will all be the same. Skinny girls don't necessarily have fitness. But one think they do have is pointy bones - ouchie when hitting you. For the less fit, well, you become fitter, very…

Thanks everyone for your advice, food for thought, literally! :)

Thankyou, i think you got what i was asking! I'm not looking to shed loads of weight at all. So i can, "store" not used calories? Theres a party tomorrow after the game, could get messy?

Yep i agree about protein, for example yesteday i had salmnon fillet with salad, and natural yoghurt for dinner. I get my ptrotein in, if anything my readings for yesterday say too low on carbs and too high on protein.. And i understand about muscle wastage, I'm not looking to build loads of weight in one go, im looking…
