  • I'm just starting with Fitbit and am wondering this; Because it counts your steps and gives you more calories for it which is good but if you use the exercise bike it doesn't count that because it doesn't pick it up, and I did the cross trainer and it picked up some but i suspect not all of it. But then if you add it in…
  • I agree with what's been said; you don't need to cut out foods infact I personally wouldn't cut out potato and pasta and they usually release energy slowly and would be helpful if you're working out. They are totally right, I lost 15lbs a few years ago with MFP without going to the gym once. And yeah you could techniqually…
  • 5 foot 2 1/2 and my goal is 126lbs (9 stone)
  • I work shifts aswell and nights are really hard!

By net here I mean for the week- like an average. Some days might be abit better than others but try to average out on my goal.
  • I do sympathise because my nan is the same she will keep asking and asking and asking if she can give you cake, biscuits, chocolate, more cake- you name it! It almost feels rude to keep saying no thank you, no really I'm fine thank you.. Etc. And it's easier to just say 'okay but just a small one please'. And although it…
  • I think the bit saying it's a "myth" that slow and steady wins the race is crazy! I completely disagree that losing weight quickly helps you keep it off! There is some truth in that because you've seen results it will probably motivate you to carry on but in order to lose weight quickly it normally means a drastic change…
