If you want to track your calories within 5% accuracy you will need http://www.kiperformance.co.uk/ or if you live in the U.S.A http://www.bodybugg.com/get_bugged.php Forget heart monitors to measure calories used they can be and are often 25-45% out!

I wouldnt use either, I would use the Ki-fit as it uses skin sensors to measure calories burnt etc

I often have a sleep after intense workout and heart rate will be up !

HRM ARE MENT TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE....... THE CALORIE COUNTER IS JUST A ADD ON GIMMICK ! If you really want to measure your calories burnt all day you need to buy the Ki fit or Boddybug as it is known in the u.s.a

Not accurate as everyone burns calories at a different rate !

I am afraid genetics plays a big part so i have been told............exercise making sure that you do plenty of weight taining and drink plenty of water to make sure you dont get hydrated. This article might help you http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

Buy a Ki fit or bodybugg..............it takes out all the guessing of how many calories you have burnt exercising !

Its a fantastic workout..... 40 mins should burn at least 500-700 calories but it depends like anything else on how much work you put into it !

Ok lets get this put into perspective........ Starvation mode is a myth ! dont worry you wont be going into that and infact your bodies metabolism slows down naturally as weight loss occurs..... We have all seen terrible second world war black and white films of concentration camps where the prisoners were starved and you…

Good question........ It makes no difference to toning.....as you only get toned by losing body fat !

Polar are great Heart Rate Monitors but like all HRM they are not accurate at telling you calories burnt !

Oh and exercise as well !

As we all know you cannot spot reduce fat ! just eat healthy and keep to your calorie allowance ! Forget the fad diets if they worked this site wouldnt be popular now would it !

Ok stop there........I think i have sussed out your problem, How are you measuring the amount of calories you are burning as i think you will find that there is no way you are burning 711 by speed walking....... do not trust the heart rate monitors or gym machines to tell you calories burnt or the MFP…

Why are you only eating the egg whites, eat the yolks as well that is where all the goodness is....................I use protein shakes to up my protein amount.......what country are you from, if you are from the u.k i can recommend a good source !

Yes it does not matter what time you eat as long as you are within your calorie goal................i often eat very late at night and I am still losing weight

I try and eat a banana 45 mins before I workout

You cannot spot reduce fat and that is a FACT ! Banana is a good source of potassium and carbs but has quite a large frutose content (sugar).....I take one banana 45 mins before training for energy. As been mentioned in earlier posts everything in moderation, as long as you keep to your calorie intake they will be no…

Eat healthy foods .....not tinned or processed foods...............and keep off of fruit juice as you may think its healthy but its full of sugar !

I totally agree how do you know you are in starvation mode (if their is such a thing because many experts say different)....

Ok I can only speak from my own experience...... How are you measuring your bodyfat, most of the ones built into bathroom scales are not accurate ! I am keeping my carbs down and protein up like most of the posts suggest and seeing a slow but constant result due to weight lifting and cardio (the best is spinning). In 9…

Keep up the weight training for many reasons ! Weights will carry on burning calories long after you have finished training and also tone your body, it will also assist in the age old problem of loose skin. Make sure that you do weights before cardio so that you have the strength to maximise your lift and very importantly…

Asics Gel-Kayano 17 are what most runners I know use

I often eat very late at night and it does not make any difference to weight loss.....I just wait for about an hour and half before I go to bed after eating only because Its through habit ! I also dont eat back my exercise calories as I physically couldnt ! But congratulations you have probably burnt about 120 calories…

I dont think it matters at all, just weigh how much cheese you put on and get the calories......as long as your calories are per day are in range their shouldnt be any problem

Buy one they are brilliant !

its spelt "dumbbells"......and I am from the u.k and we spell everything correctly dont we my little U.S.A friends Colour in uk Color in U.S.A lol

Thank you ladybug you obviously have impeccable taste

Yes but not all photos are edited.....like my one after 4 weeks of being on this site
