Been off for a few months from an injury so most of my old friends have disappeared. I'm trying to gain mass, so any weight loss peeps need to sheild your eyes when I post my cookie milkshake gluttony!

I didn't monitor myself before (hence I'm doing it now) but on the odd occasion I did weigh myself I was going down in weight however, nothing rapidly. Yes I do weigh my food and I do appreciate the packets can vary but I'd like to think it averages out over time. I also take my exercise now with 'a pinch of salt'. However…

I checked a couple of the food entry stats against that on the packet and they were ok. Though I've not checked every packet as the few I did check were correct.

I found the opposite with the s health. My 4 min dteady bike ride would come in at 80 cal with Samsung but with UA is 30. While Samsung said that 10 mins of balls out rowing , sweat dripping off me and struggling to breath was on 40 cal?!? Hence I now us UA. I'm struggling to think my food is off as I'm weighing…

Through UA Record on my watch with HR and steps also through my watch. For example yesterday I burned 1409 cal, through steps, commuting on my bicycle, my hour long callisthenics session and about an hour walking my dog. Granted I can take the 353 cal off from my steps as they are already taken into account through my set…

Not taking into account the notes passed around at school....I would say *gets hand out to count* ....twice in my life

Don't look at the scales. If somehow you can gain muscle mass and loose weight your scales won't show it. You need to take body measurements.

So what do you use? I'm using UA record

I'm starting to get like that too. I didn't want to walk my dog yesterday as it would add yet more calories burned (I'm gaining not loosing). Plus it was the end of the day so I had no time or patience to make yet another meal.

Again I must congratulate you. Its great to see both ends of the scale from someone and not just the supermodel low end. You mention you got your surplus from icecream two days a week? I'm in a struggle now that I need that extra bump of calories on training days but all I have is 'bad' sugary food available at the end of…

Should consult a gardener

Ever seen those malnourished African kids on TV with super skinny arms and rather large bellies? That's because they are not eating enough. I can't remember the exact science but when you don't eat enough your body will store the energy in its storage slot...your belly. I must REPEAT what everyone is saying, don't eat less…

Every 6 weeks (if its uninterrupted) I take a week out to do Yoga. Weekends are also rest days but I'll stay active, walk the dog longer, play squash. Walk a lot probably.

In the settings on MFP there is an option to post exercises to your feed. I've turned it off. It doesn't 'fix' the issue to only post it once but at least it stops everyone else getting pee'd off with you. If im that bothered about posting a workout I'll post it manually. As for the sync issue between steps and exercise…

Could be a Vampire

We can get a triangle going

We can start with some light face slapping first and go from there yeh?

A thing I read to gain muscle mass is set your MFP to MAINTAIN your weight. You then eat 10% more on training days and 10% less on rest days...but that's for lean mass. I can't say whether hitting your protein goal is more beneficial than your calorie goal, perhaps someone else can shed light. But focusing on calorie or…

Just don't hit me.

I stick to combats style trouser and a belt. My greatest trouble is pants (or underwear for you yanks). I have to use UA boxerjocks that stretch. Wearing items that fit my waist pretty cut my legs off and the other way around just falls off. Doesn't help I have overly lanky limbs for my height.

Coming in at 27...Not seen a <30 group

I had an involuntary loud laugh in a quite room at this!
