I find that when they take out the fat its replaced by sugar, or artificial 'chemicals'.

Just check the app, it's ok although a bit slow. I use the app on a Kindle Fire and don't have access to the community on there, it only does the basics.

I have hypermobility and am interested in lifting but don't know where to start. My hips and left wrist are particularly bad. Can you give me any tips or link to get me started.

I'm from the north east UK, just over 13stone, want to be around 10. you can add me :)

Are all the garmin's HRM accurate, I got a Forerunner25 at the weekend and noticed the calorie burn is lower than MFP. As everyone says MFP is on the high side I was hoping the HRM are accurate and I could trust it.

I have the garmin forerunner25 I've just sent you a connection, my user name is MichelleODonoghue

Running is another problem, the top part of my thigh at the front are extremely tight (not sure what it's called) - it's the only thing that stabilises my hips, my left leg doesn't go back so my running pace is so slow. I will get below 12min/miles one day hopefully, until then I just keep plodding on. lol

She's mainly given me pointers regarding using my own body weight and listening to my body, especially regarding overstretching (I'm very bendy). She lifts herself and is also a member of the same gym as me, never thought of asking her. Sometimes you just need the obvious pointed out to you. Thanks

I already see a sports physio, the hypermobility isn't severe, just enough to get in the way. Hips are the biggest problem.

The almost family atmosphere The fantastic instructors The fact we have a pool I live 1.1miles away

Just been looking through my DVD's and I found Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, think I bought it a couple of years ago, took one look and thought no way. I going to start tomorrow as I've been looking to do something during the day. I spend far too much time sat at the computer, even if I don't log the exercise it will…

A calorie deficit is the only way to loose weight

Ok, I'm happy to loose 1lb a week (I weigh185) I'm just nosey and like facts that's all :)

Me too, only I drank about 2litre a day. I only drink the occasional can now, much prefer water.

My left and right sides are different too, so it's probable normal.

Does anyone know if the garmin vivofit is as accurate as the fitbit seems to be

My sports bra is a shock absorber, I did find that I needed a 38 instead of my usual 36 but other than that they are great, nothing moves.

Your body needs a rest day to recover from all the stress you are putting it under when you work out. You'll burn out if you keep at it, if you want to do something everyday try and active rest day, just go for a nice stroll in the park or a leisurely swim.

I use a gymstick, http://gymstick.com/about-gymstick/ Mine came with a dvd, I also do a class at my gym.

So pleased I've just read this, I've been messing about with my settings for weeks and finally decided to do this at the weekend, at least I've got some thing right. :)

I find life gets a bit more interesting/less organised when you throw kids into the mix!

I changed the battery's in mine about a month ago and I swim 4 times a week and shower with it on, I've not had any problems

My kids are 16 and 18 and the four of us (including hubby) all go to the same gym. I've been going for almost two and half years now, although with teenagers sometime they need a bit extra encouragement.

It depends on the day but so far this week Monday 45min work with a gym stick 45min Pilates 45min Bodypump 30min Swim Yesterday 30min Kangoo Jump class 45min Bodycombat 30min Swim

just out of interest how many calories do you burn during Combat classes I do a 45 min Les Mills class and although i'm sweating buckets and I'm shattered MFP's total is 507, which seems a lot.

I had the same problem, so I gave up wearing it. hopefully someone else may be able to help

I sometime feel like I need to crunch something dry like nuts or cereal.

I use this for really sticky things like treacle or syrup

Thanks everyone
