  • Figured it out now, a massive ****-up on my part it seems! Somehow when I was asked to enter my weight in lbs, it entered it in kgs, so ended up changing my weight to 154kg a couple of days ago apparently! Explains the massive spike in calories for RunKeeper, so no issue now, will just use the runtastic one and create a…
  • RunKeeper has been amazing for me running Now personally I use an app called iFitness for gym stuff, but I heard it was taken off the app store a while ago :/
  • Cheers, will give it a try
  • Depends on your outlook on food beforehand Some people use MFP for a complete diet change to eat healthier Personally MFP has been brilliant purely for moderation, I still enjoy little snacks like crisps, just less of them And thats worked out pretty well for me :)
  • I've got one that looks quite bad, but its only a face shot, something at least And i do have measurements taken :) but I just feel that visual indicator would be very helpful Going to take some tomorrow morning when I'm feeling a lot less bloated Training to do a marathon by the end of the year, and really getting into…

  • Reading all this, can anyone recommend a good HRM for both the gym and out running myself? I've always taken down the calories machines say and used that for my daily food count
  • When I'm running I always need to have Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis in the middle somewhere in the playlist Always inadvertently makes me up my pace no matter how tired I am!
