I have a drink, and just count the cals, I still loose weight. I think the key is moderation. I think shorts are the best, because they have lower carbs.

Not according to the Mrs, but I like your style...

mmm Taco Bell.....

James Bond; Star Trek...

I think there is general consensus it is good to eat breakfast to get the metabolism going..

Excellent going, keep it up.

The Polar Heart Rate Monitor is a bit more subtle than that, apparently it uses information about the resting variation of your heart rate to calculate your fitness, which it plugs into its algorithm. Similarly when you start training it looks at the way your heart rate varies and makes similar calculations and also…

Yes I have suffered this also. It is a bit depressing. The longer I work with mine, the closer they get, but I suspect they are both estimates!

I use a polar heart rate monitor with Own Zone range. It is very clever, it gives you fitness tests; calculates your calories; and calculates your fitness zone. Seems to work very well for me.

Look at your carbohydrate types. You are looking for slow releasing carbohydrates, and protein. Avoid processed food and sugar/glucose. Believe it or not fresh fruit can be quite high in sugar. This messes up your blood sugar levels and makes you feel hungry. Keep at it.

I think the general approach is that you can if you want, the system will modify itself when you have lost your first 10lbs based on your motabilism. If you find you are not loosing weight, reduce the net calorie intake. If you don't eat them, you should loose weight faster. Most areas recommend you aim for 2lb's per week…

Worth trying some of the other measures as well as weight. If you have been training a lot, you could have put on some muscle, which is all good stuff...
