Using the Polar ft4 and it's brilliant. The chest strap automatically connects to the HRM on the machines, so there is no need to keep checking the watch and it's always in front of you. But for resistance training it's pretty accurate as well and keeps track of calories burnt and how much time in different heart rate…

Agreed! My fitness pal is a great app. Well done. I've gone from 156kg to 84kg it's no easy task.

Research shows that one of the best things to help get over the 'leg day' pains (DOMS) is to keep a steady level of activity i.e walking. You'll notice that when you're walking its a little uncomfortable but stop being activity for 30mins+ then walking again... Different story. There isn't any real solution to overcoming…

Feel free to add me... Can't do it on IPads

There's nothing you can do other than embrace it!!

You can not go from one extreme to the next over night. Drop it gradually and up your activity levels. Do not neglect carbs. They give you energy and without energy you tend to be less happy (stating the obvious but some people don't understand carbs)

Interval training and weights. Perfect combination

BMI isn't a direct indicator of how healthy or fit you are. I wouldn't worry about it. BMI is great in identifying how obese people are but when it comes down to people like yourself, I wouldn't be disheartened by that at all. the fact that it doesn't take muscle mass into consideration is key to anyone who involves…

^^ Rome was not built in a day.. So true. Do not get disheartened by not achieving goals in record time. I used to do this a lot and became such a psychological battle with myself. Thats not a good thing. Feel free to add me and check out my post...…

Factor the beer into your macros... try not to drink everyday but still remember you need to live!!! You can see get results even if you drink but it will hinder the time process of reaching your goals

In my last year of university i piled on the pounds and ballooned to 156kg. Over the last 18-24 months I've lost over 70kg and now weigh 84.2kg. Biggest mistake was being naive and only focusing on cardio. Now my training schedule is a combination of strength and cardio with the focus on dropping body fat. I became…

Try to add some protein into your diet. It sounds like your diet is mainly carbs. With weight loss / fat loss as a goal, you'll ideally need a higher protein in take than carb intake, without neglecting carbs of course. There are many people who think carbs are bad and by having carbs you can not lose weight (idiots)!…
