Do you plan on saying any more than that or do you normally just drive by, shout out your opinion and drive off? More diet advice will come as I reach specific goals but the first one, drop the late night carbs. What else I eat is currently down to me. Did your mother ever teach you that if you can't say anything nice…

After 36 years I finally got fed up with my weight. Ive been as low as 11% body fat and 11st and now im upto 17st (down from my high of 18st 6lb). I got a personal trainer to get me on track with workouts and diet. The diet part was actually really simple. No starchy cabs after 5pm. So no pasta, bread, rice, potatoes etc.…

In the past 3 months im sure you've learnt what you can eat each day and stay within your calorie burn. Just try and apply that thinking. Your fitbit can store 7-10 days (depending on model) of detailed stats and 30 days of your daily totals so you should be good.

Hi Martin. Wedding videographer here. Yeah, totally doable. On any active day I can hit 3800 burn and on a wedding day I can easily break the 4000 mark. Since getting the charge hr I realised just how much I'm burning and why I used to hit a wall as I wasn't eating enough and my metabolism would just shut down. Eat back…

It would also be good to hear about any other requirements you may have. I went for a fitbit as I wanted a 24/7 monitoring device. Seeing my sleep patterns is great. I actually know if I had a good sleep or not. Its a great motivational tool to keep moving and when you have a lazy day and you look at your dashboard it…

The charge HR is one if their current best along with the Surge. Same features and tracking, just the surge does more on the watch itself. Both have a heart rate sensor which will help with giving you a more accurate calorie burn estimate. However, both suffer when the wrist moves lots to give you an accurate reading. If…

Starving people in the world. Yeah, I was given that line too :) I'm actually surprised at myself as I told my trainer that it's unlikely that I can give up chocolate as when I've done that in the past I get seriously grumpy. I used to eat a kfc for lunch. Pizza for dinner and finish it off with a bar of chocolate. Not a…

Pretty good. Ive been testing mine by manually taking my pulse and its spot on. It can loose it when working out hard but this is better by moving the FB higher up on your wrist. I then use a sweatband to keep it in place. Fitbit themselves say that this can happen and to stop, let it take a reading and it then uses some…

Body fat is calculated by passing an electric current through your body and sensing how much resistance it faces. To get an accurate reading from day to day you need to do it at the same time, with an empty bladder each time, dry feet, not fresh from the shower or workout. If I do mine then get in the shower and dry off…

Like you I have battled with weight for years and its never as easy as "Eat Less" and one thing i've learnt is that ANY commercial diet like Atkins, Weight Watchers, Lighter Life or Slimming World is a business. They need to make money and the sales pitch of "Eat anything you like, dont count calories, loose weight" sells.…
