I never used to see the point of cheat days, i agreed with most of you that it was undoing your hard work. But i've started to now - but I call it a spike day, not a cheat day. I eat my BMR and I don't eat my exercise calories, and then one day in the week i have my BMR x 2. Its really just eating all of my exercise…

get a fitbit! it will do it all for you! :)

find people who want a healthier lifestyle, you'll want to spend more time with them and be happier overall :)

I save my spike/cheat day for those days, works well

I shopped around, i really like Polar the best, I also have the FT7, its great. Mine is red, goes faster! :D The model down i think only has the plastic strap and doesn't store as many exercise entries.

It would only be wrong if they said that a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat. Otherwise ofcourse they are referring to volume/density!

There's a note at our gym above the weights "if you're strong enough to use the weights, you're strong enough to put them away" :laugh:

Awesome presentation! I was always told to do less heavy weights and more reps so i don't 'bulk up', but I think i'm going to start lifting heavy :)

FACT! It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

Yep, you retain water to mend your muscles! But just remember that the weight is just water, not fat and it will go away again :)

Yep, you only need to log your weight updates, and do the rest on MFP like normal. I think how much you stick to their meal plans and exercises is a little optional. We just have a MFP team to show everyone how its done! Our team name is Aussie MFPers for anyone here who'd like to join us :D

Not too late to join in! :D

Added you all

How many calories were you eating when you ate over your calorie limit? And how long did you try it for? Also how tall are you

Starting tomorrow guys! Jump onboard!

I want your legs! haha you look HOT!

There's still time to get on board!

hopefully we'll get more team functionality when it starts

We're starting next Monday! Anyone else who wants to join in is more than welcome :D

I don't think its going to matter too much if you wanted to wait, as your heart rate will come down fairly quickly (and progressively faster the fitter you get) But personally i just stop it when I finish - I might forget otherwise! I also always make sure I subtract my TDEE for the length of time i'm working out. The…

Yeah it runs for 10 weeks, everyones welcome. I hope they show us how much we've lost in total as a team :) I've added all of the most recent requests, keep them coming ! :)

I quite like a lot of the dance games that you can use with the wii, you can really raise your heart rate

do you have a wii fit balance board or just the wii?

powerhouse!

9 1/2 mins. I did 50 and then stretched, then lots of 25 with stretching after that as I have really tight calves! HRM says 60 calories :glasses:

awesome, you're all added :)

Depends a little on climate and exercise too. On really hot days we're meant to drink 1 litre (34 oz) per hour we're out in the sun. And obviously if you're doing lots of exercise you need more water too to make up for sweat lost

We're getting quite a team! Thanks everyone

Great job! :D I finished day 1... 29 to go :noway:

I've hardly logged into facebook at all now. MFP is definitely a more positive environment :)
