One for the Australians: Who are Rhonda & Ketut?
I'm Australian but living in England and I keep hearing references to, and getting emails about, Rhonda and Ketut. Who the hell are they? I've asked this question on Facebook and my idiot friends there are liking the question but not bloody answering it. Please can someone enlighten me?

TDEE Experts, Advise Me Please
I'm 47, 5'3", weighed 166.5 lbs at my last check-in, and want to lose around another 25 lbs. This is a vague goal which will take me to the top of my healthy BMI range, but it's by no means an obsession and I'm trying to focus more on how my body feels and looks in my clothes. I think my diet's OK, though I know protein is…

Does anyone have a good headache remedy?
This is not really "diet and weight loss" related, but in the absence of a "health and wellbeing" section I'm posting here anyway. I suffer from horrendous headaches that can last for 3-4 days during my TOM. For some reason painkillers just don't work for me so I don't even bother with them any more. Does anyone have a…

Anyone heard of Zero Noodles?
OK it's in the Daily Mail, but I've just read this: "Zero Noodles, a new Japanese brand, contain only ten calories in each 200g packet, meaning they can help you to feel full while barely registering on your waistline. Made of 96 per cent water and containing the Asian ground root konjac, they have flown off the shelves in…

New Forest Anyone?
I'm contemplating a camping trip in the New Forest towards the end of June. I've had a look online and found a couple of campsites that sound and look great but, as always, they come with a really mixed bag of reviews to add to the fun. Does anyone have any local knowledge or recommendations for me?

Anyone in Durham?
I have tickets for the Ashes Test in August and am after some advice on where the best area to stay is. I'd assumed the cricket ground would be in Durham itself but have just discovered it's actually in Chester-le-Street. I have no idea where these places are in relation to each other, so don't know if it's easy/feasible…

What if you can't exercise?
My personal experience of weight loss and exercise is that my lowest weight came a few years ago when I was on Weight Watchers, working out with weights, cardio and swimming and walking everywhere, which worked out to about 2 hours of exercise a day, 5-6 days a week. For various reasons I had to stop that particular…

Calories in Home-made Chicken Stock?
I roasted a chicken yesterday, removed most of the meat for tonight's chicken pie and everything else went in the pot with a water, a couple of bay leaves, some fresh thyme and salf and pepper. The stock's now cooled and I'll strain off the fat as best I can, but there'll no doubt be some left behind. So, does anyone have…

Question for people who set themselves goals
I've been poking around the forums today and come across a couple of threads about losing x amount in x no. of days, or losing x lbs by Christmas. Dozens of people want to join in and do it together. Many of these goals sound unrealistic to me and I'm wondering what lengths people go to to achieve them, whether they are…

Think it's time I made some friends
I've been here almost a month now and progress is good, but it might be nice to have some friends on the journey. I'm 46 and female, married but no kids, and want to lose around 50 lbs, which will take me to the top of my BMI range. I love to eat and I love food - talking about it, cooking it and thinking about it. For…

Question for people who've reached or are nearing goal
Can someone please tell me what happens to your calories once you get to your goal weight? Does your daily allowance change as you get closer to your goal? And when you reach goal does it increase for maintenance purposes? Just curious really!

One Pound a Week?
I'm now in my third week of counting calories with MFP and am finding it fantastic. Successful too, even though it's still early days. When I set my goals I went for the 1 pound a week option and now I'm curious as to whether others have actually lost that 1 pound a week over a decent length of time, or whether it ends up…
