i tend to discount 10pc from the machines and add 10pc to the food thus making a discrepancy of 20pc which is pretty hit and miss when the base for me is 1200cals --maybe a 240calorie span incidentally where is the best place to get a hrm in the uk for polar and the approx cost--i come home in summer

thanks --i think i follow but the ratio has got worse despite my risky stomach not getting bigger-- it will make child birth more difficult having no hips but hey ho i am a bloke!--with my stomach i would say i am about 3 months gone! -i started a new sit up regime this week and it seems to have affected my hips not my…

i am English but live in Turkey and never eat branded food--everything comes from places like the small bakers or local fruit and veg farmer--food is completely different in size- and not overdone with info on the packet-a slice of bread here means nothing to me because my bread is a small round 4inch diameter…

...but if the food cals are wrong where does that leave you-could be eating more than you are led to believe!!

then you have a nil calorie count! i drink green tea with no milk sometimes and it counts nothing--the milk is where the calories lurk(oh and the sugar)

in my gym there are older style fitness life machines and newer ones--the older style are much stingier with calories--30 minutes run about 260 but the newer ones it is about 330 --i just leave about 50pc of my exercise calories at a minimum --does seem to defy the logic of this site but there are lots of discrepancies on…

TEA and Coffee are counted as normal water--the caffeine intake is taken out by the purification in the liver--i wee just as much on clear water as i do tea--but tea colourises obviously!!--more problematic is drinking water or tea at meal times-this washes away the nutrients you are trying to retain when eating-i have…

i thought if you went high protein you will build muscle which is heavier than fat -are you tonning up with all this gym work??--i also use to do loads of gym work and discovered that i needed rest days to give my body time to work its magic and lose the weight! Also you dont say how far through your diet you are--i am in…

i might be under a mis-conception but isnt it healthier to eat food dry because the digestive system finds it easier to deal just with one process at a time--maybe i am wrong????

i have driven a few ferraris so it wouldnt be unique-my neighbour has one that he loans me ocsssionally. i quite like useful gifts and might look for new technology when i am in the uk again-its so overpriced where i live due to import tarrifs -i would feel ripped off- a new phone that had an mp3 player in it--i am not a…

before i joined here i was surviving on only about a 1000 calories and exercising 6 days a week for 3 hours at a time--i still only lost 2lbs a week! on here i eat better and exercise less--i rest between gym days and i dont feel i am scared of eating some extras in my diet--i still lose 2lbs a week and i am in my last…

i am 5 9 and was set 154 by a dietician with a computer that read all my vitals and body fat--i was 80 kgs when i saw her and i think 27pc body fat, she set the target from her personal knowledge and i think it is to hit a satisfactory fat level--she didnt speak English so it was difficult to get detail--when i hit my goal…

its a good theory but the trouble with it not actually working is what happens with many people who are depressed--they commit or attempt suicide--if you have ever had depression you will gladfully take any drug that will solve and continue to keep the condition away--if you stop and go for alternative medicine the risk is…

i started building a diet that i am happy with and can live forever with--i eat my 5 fruit and veg a day --i keep my fiber up and i keep variety in it all.--i am in my last 6lbs to get to a vain weight and a bmi of 22,3--i havent noticed difficulty or a decrease in loss--in fact i am taking it easier and eating more than i…

i think under our new government we could go your way--our dentristry service is becoming more private than national health service--everytime i see the dentist they seem to want to do something for no apparent reason and i have to pay a percentage of the cost and our gov pays the balance--im sure they have enough xrays of…

for the majority of the day i sit on my arm! but i am a school teacher and never sit down in classes but i count myself as sedantry as a lifestyle but i work out 3 or 4 times a week to counter balance this---i eat ok on 1200 calories but struggle to ever eat my exercise calories. i think i eat healthily and get at least 5…

my bmr is 1693 according to a computer--for general life this increases to 2200(500 more for living) mfp sets me to lose 1000 calories a day therefor 7000 over a week--to lose 1lb of weight you need to reduce your intake by 3500 calories a week so i am losing 2lbs which i am--the exercise gives you extra credits to thrive…

talking of changing--i have a personal theory that i try to do as much as possible, i dont let my body get into a routine -exercise and eating -i change all the times of application about as much as practical--last time i exercise was in the morning so today it will be in late afternoon -i will eat my main meal before i…

have you thought this gain in weight could be a skeletal change that is a natural phenomina we all go through--every 7 years til the late 30s

İ live in the uk and can assure you our docs get no kick back -my father was a practitioner for 47 years and under his oathe he would rather cut his arm off than prescribe an unecessary drug---he got paid enough and didnt take back handers. He supervises my intakes but cant prescribe for me because he is my father and i…

i teach English from an Oxford University book that uses water as one of the topics. They have done a mass controlled test where they compared water drinking to tea and coffee drinking, there was no difference in the hydration levels between the two groups of 'guinea pigs'.---the books are well researched and come from the…

there is a current thread going about cyclic calories --it when you eat a reasonable amount for a period and then decrease so that the body searches for its equilibrium--sounds good in theory but there are lots of theories but i believe we all have our personal method that works for us as individual bodies--it may work for…

Thanks---as a side i belong to a gym and they analyse you at the beginning with an all singing dancing scanner---it set my goal as 70kgs from 83kg and i am now at 73kgs --my gym instructoress is tiny and weighs well under 100lbs and is average height- she went to see how she rated and she was told to lose 2lbs from her…

seems pretty chicky in here--now what would a man give himself as a reward?? İ am awaful at thinking about my needs i even need ideas--i dont have a hrm but sense i will need it less once i have hit my goal! a ferrari would be nice but a tad affluent! what would you like to see your partners buy himself???

water takes away elecrolytes and if you are drinking excessive amounts you need to take salt to replace them-i use squash and a small amount of salt --you can actually drink too much water!--tea also has a lot of fiber in it!--it should be noted that you shouldnt drink tea within an hour of eating because the tannins wash…

i have been on ADi s for many years and have fluctuated from over weight down to my goal weight in that time-i havent noticed any food cravings nor really changed weights between prior to taking them until now. i do know that taking them makes me positive and lets me face exercise with a smile thus letting me lose weight…

tea and coffee are just as hydrating as water according to the experts--but be aware that the mfp calories for tea is very lose and you would be bext doing your own input based on your chosen milk readings

i am wondering where we get the targets from! the bmi scale is not a perfect scale because it makes no allowance for frame size. i am within 6lbs of my goal of a bmi of 22. something. The last time i got to that level everybody said i was too thin and i felt the shine had gone off my acheivement. My brother who has a…

she wonders how i ever put up with her smoking!! i always look at smokers and ask 'how big would you be if you didnt have your 'cancer stick'?

My wife hates smokers now!! she has made her own mother quit and is a strong campaigner against smokers in our company--i live in a country where smokers still control places like bars and are free to smoke where they like--all apart from our school!! i support her weight loss --she is short and she knows she doesnt look…
