So I need stats to motivate me, I am starting my cut today and want to shed fat but measure it too. I have had little success trying to use calipers to measure body fat % and end up at 25% one day and 10% the next. Plus it's such a faff to do. I know scales are not accurate but are they accurate enough to see if it's…

yes, anyone wanta to share activity i am up for it, friend me up and i can message you my username on Apple Watch. Should be a great motivation tool on the watch!

Newcastle here, happy to be a friend

Thanks guys, I'm not bothered about weight loss to be fair just want to see results. I'm impatient I guess. I took my measurements today and it looks like I have lost an inch from my waist since three weeks ago so that's good. I forgot to mention I also play squash once a week for 40 minutes so that should cover my cardio.

Yep count me in, 44 and have a load of experience now with this weight loss thing!

I've just started it too

Same here, not working for me

How do you get workouts to syns with Apple Health? I have had no luck with that at all. I have it setup to sync but it never does, where does it show the workouts? Are you using a HRM with Polar Flow or something different? I have also just installed the new Polar Flow software on my iPhone 6 and nothing appears to be…

I ended up getting a Polar M400 watch / fitness band. I love it, has gps, connects to my heart rate monitor and works great

Anyone use these with a ANT+ Heart Rate Monitor? I need to know how reliable they are. I currently have a Polar H7 but want to use it with a band rather than my phone.

I currently use a Polar H7 heart rate monitor, it's excellent. I use it with my iPhone but plan on picking up a Polar Loop band that works with it so I won't need my phone all the time.

Squash has been a bit disappointing, maybe we are not good enough yet to make a real heavy workout,

Yep, count me in, I love a drink on a weekend but it's undoing all my hard work during the week. Tonight I'm going for a swim and sauna instead of on the booze! Good luck everyone!

Pass

Bang without a doubt!

Jenilla1 That is exactly what I wanted to hear, I am not looking to bulk up just a bit of muscle definition. Fatjakes5 I will have a look at the StrongLifts 5X5 thank you Chris

Awesome advice, thank you all.

I want to lose about 7 or 8lbs more that's all. I don't ever eat my exercise calories back as I believe they are taken into account calculating my TDEE as I put myself down as active 3-5 sessions a week. Chris

We are already friends but I am in the UK and from Newcastle. Love the support on here and from my UK friends too.

Thanks everyone, that's a lot to take in. Fancy getting a BodPod done but can only find one in Newcastle University and they do not seem to offer them to the public. Cheers Chris

Welcome back, feel free to add me as a friend to encourage each other a long the road!

Thanks everyone, keep them coming, you're are all doing so well. Lets inspire each other to our goals!

Yep, lots of people from the UK here, please add me, would be good to all spur each other on! Newcastle by the way!
