Actually, yeah, it's tosh.

I'd echo these sentiments, it's is worrying how many people miss an eating disorder. My sister is 5'7 126 pounds, very very slender and we'd all become seriously concerned if she started saying she wanted to drop another dress size or two!

Brilliant!

I always wonder why people who struggle to eat 1700 calories a day ended up on this website anyway...

Completely understand, and I still won't set foot in a gym. However, I've started running every second day and I've realised how little anyone cares about what I do! It's liberating. I have a lovely place to run near where I live and people just smile and say 'hi'. Also, what do you think when you see a jogger? I know I…

THIS!

Blown away that people can be so disgustingly unkind... the only thing ugly around here that I can see is their personalities. However, to put your mind at ease, no, you don't look remotely like Shrek!

Stop serial dating just because you want to fill that Dad-shaped-hole in your life.

I'm 5'6 and have a goal of 135 but when I was 140 a few years back everyone constantly said I was slim enough so like some people have said, I'll just know when I'm happy:)

This.

I'm surprised how many people don't like peanut butter on here... it is a gift from the Gods!

It depends on what you want to achieve. I'm 5'6 and have a goal weight of 135-140 and that wouldn't make me that slim really! I have been that weight before and was fit and curvy. At 175 I wasn't happy at all with my weight and my bmi was in the overweight category. Go with what you feel comfortable:)

This.

Daily... anyone that manages to only weigh themselves once a week is my idol. Seriously.

I'm pretty sure my body wasn't telling me to have bread, butter and jam for lunch!

I don't care what any fitness or health guru says, I DEFINITELY eat more throughout the day if I eat breakfast. Say I eat porridge at 8am... I'm really hungry again by 10. EDIT: I do, however, tend to have a little something at around 10-11am, usually, an apple, grapefruit or toast.

I look at success stories when I need a boost... that's my tip for the day!

This. My weight ranges in the evening depending on what I've eaten, how much, how much water I've drank, what I've done, what I've not done. Weighing in the morning makes much more sense to me!

This, and taking advice from someone who has been SO successful in weight loss (congratulations) is a good idea!

I've never had porridge with anything but water... I add a little honey, wheatgerm and cinnamon and it's great!

Does he want to workout?

Me and J-Dizzle have a love/hate relationship.

Makes me hungrier, and makes my stomach rumble!

Sounds like a really challenging situation, and I expect many of us have come across this. I have a family member who I visit regularly and she always says 'you look great and don't need to lose weight' and always has the most amazing food in, but then always asks 'how's the diet going?', 'how much weight have you lost…

Good teeth!

Actually, children are highly sensitive to social influence at this age. Values are learnt very early on.

Essentially, this. It's classless, and I wouldn't want my children growing up thinking women are objects to be leered at.

Your doctor sounds mad as cheese.

Yeah, I keep my diary private because although I try and eat fairly healthily, once a week I tend to eat whatever I want (usually involving unspeakable amounts of pizza and crisps) and I've found that some people can think they are fitness and health experts because they've lost a pound. I don't need someone telling me…

1. Like most, I am self-indulgent enough to like an opportunity to tell strangers 25 random facts about myself, regardless of whether they are interested or not. 2. I have a degree in Linguistics. 3. I have a Masters in Speech and Language Therapy. 4. I am now a Speech and Language Therapist (or Pathologist for all you…
