9. One weightloss lie you've heard.
I've never really been worried about weightloss until recently - I always made fun of people who were dieting or watching their weight because I thought it was so superficial to worry about physical appearance (of course I know better now!). I guess the one that sticks out is that all carbs are bad (complex carbs are good!).

10. The best tip you've received with regard to long lasting slimness.
Mmmm whole grains. I'm addicted to whole grains and fibrous foodstuffs.

Also, portion control is a big one.

1. What's your top weight, current weight and target?

My top weight is my current weight- not sure exactly, but almost 180 pounds. though i may have lost a couple water pounds these last 3 days of being vigilant! my goal for now is 150. i was always really skinny (125 or less) until i started taking antidepressants about 8 years ago. which was also about the time i turned 30, and i've been admittedly far less active over the years, so i can't attribute it all to antidepressants! i don't need to be skinny again- anxiety and depression kept me at a very low weight. so to make a long story short (too late!) i'm working towards 150 and then i'll reassess.

2. How tall are you?

5'7"

3. What's your family situation?

1. What's your top weight, current weight and target?

My top weight was around 190lbs- I measure in metrics so that's not quite precise. My current weight is fairly stably in the early 150s- around 68-69kgs. My target is 63 kgs, but that is just a number and I would stop before then if I achieved the shape I want.

2. How tall are you?

I measured myself yesterday and was overjoyed to discover I have an extra half inch on what I thought was my height- 5'9.5", or 176cm.

3. What's your family situation?

I am preparing to move out of home. I live with my Mum but am also really close to my Dad, who lives across town. They broke up when I was 2 so luckily, having two homes is all I know and I wouldn't have it any other way. My brother by blood is my favourite!
