Started at 12st 2lb (170lb) Currently 11st (154lb) Ideally want to get back to pre-university-weight, which was 10st 4lb (148lb) 5'9 - 5'10 (depending on who is doing the measuring!)

I eat a heavier breakfast then sometimes have cereal for lunch! (I hate cereal for breakfast, I get hungry again too quickly) Ready brek (or microwaveable porridge if you prefer) topped with fruit and sometimes a spoon of maple syrup, or Kellogg's Just Right (not sure if you're US and can get that there). Topped with…

Or have tooth decay problems

Not as permanently idiotic as a badly spelt tattoo, but my brother's ex-wife wanted to start up a tattoo design business and managed to snag the website UnquieDesigns. Surprisingly, no-one else had taken it already ...

"I'm aware" (in reply to "it's raining")

10 years ago I was between getting out of a bad relationship and getting into the one I am now in, before I had kids. I think I was probably out partying/drinking and thinking I was getting old because I was nearly 30. Now i'm nearly 40!

Hello. I think it was originally a US site but the Brits have been slowly taking over. :-) Seems to be getting very popular via word-of-mouth. (I'm in Essex, working in London)

My mum just bought me a handheld (Lloyds Pharmacy) measurer - apparently I'm 30.2% fat, which is high but within the healthy range. Seems relatively accurate, and at least it should be good for doing a comparative.

Are they charging a spectator fee?

I just need to add my "wow". Great before and after photos! I've only managed 2 Zumba classes, as it's hard to fit things in around the kids, and the first one I didn't like, but the second was great - I think it all depends on the teacher. I'd love to do more if I could fit it in. Same with jazzercise. An hour of…

Actually, since having kids I've got a lot /less/ fussy about where I change!

1. I don't remember ever being sure they existed and there definitely wasn't a 'stopping believing'. It was all a bit living in fairyland! 2. I can still change in a car 3. I never did scouts, etc. I think I stopped dancing every Saturday in my mid-teens, but only cos the school stopped 4. Changed from mummy and daddy to…

Ooh, how do reverse crunches work?

Damn, failure. :-( Only made it to 75. Although I didn't see the challenge till nearly 4pm. Next time I need to try them on the gym ball!

I would love some higher protein recipies that are vegetarian, if anyone has any!

Ok, i can do that! (short ones so I don't hurt my back any extra, though) *wonders if she can do them discretely in the kitchen at work*

Unfortunately the dancing concert is 5pm today, with a dress rehersal this morning, and I /have/ to get through it - first time on stage in 25 years and probably my last opportunity, especially if I drop out now. 6pm tonight is when I can start resting it! Thanks guys.

Dancing - tap, jazz and ballet (hurt the hamstring in jazz - left leg kicked up at the back, bend forward to put hands on/towards the ground, right hamstring went 'ping', the calf injury I'm not even entirely sure how I did it, think I was running for a train when it first went but then it seemed to go into a long cramp).

5'9-5'10 (depending on who is measuring) and just down to 154-155lb (from 175lb at my heaviest at the end of last year, I think). Idealy I'll get back down to the 144lb I was before university, but I'm now at my pre-pregnant weight (my eldest is now 8), so I've hit my first goal.

> mom always told me when i didnt have to hide that i was pooping, i was ready You poop??!

21.56: 1,154 once I've drunk this bottle of San Miguel I just opened! (1014 before that).

Tap dancing!

If inspiration is failing, I vote with "take a break". As long as you don't /put on/ weight, just stop trying to lose it for a while, then go back once the boredom/lethargy/whatever goes away. (imho)

I can't really give any advice. I usually 'diet' over Lent and lose up to half a stone, and then it stops. This year, because I have a dance show coming up, I decided to see if I could lose some more now (dance show is next Sunday now!) - and it seems to be working. I spent the first week really cutting back on carbs…

I was 30 when I had my first, which is older than my mum was when she had her last (and there's an 11 year gap between me and the brother!)

When I was fluctuating more, I think I naturally lost it around the end and went back to 'normal'. I've found the only 'sensible' time to weigh anyhow is on getting up - after having a wee, before getting dressed.

I used to before I dropped my half-stone earlier this year, but I seem to be stuck at permanent 11.5st atm. Maybe my scales are broken.

Meeee. Went vegetarian on 13th Feb 1987, the day of my best friend's 13th birthday. Spent her birthday party picking the pastry off sausage rolls so I could eat something at her birthday party. :-) I now have a 6 + 8 year old mini-vegetarian at home, although their dad isn't. (And a firm believer that fish is /not/ a…

We have a microwave, so reheated pasta or rice is good for me, if not helpful to you. :-P My kids take packed lunch to school, we tend to go through: * sandwich - cheese+tomato, jam or marmalade (we quite like the stuff made with fruit juice instead of sugar), egg mayo (although they get grumbles from classmates for…

... what is cauliflower rice?
