haha my kinda topic! 2003 Nissan 350z "Fairlady" http://www.productioncars.com/send_file.php/nissan_350z_red_2005.jpg Once we worked out that my wife couldn't have kids, we sold everything family-related (I have a station wagon) and I got this. Pro's: OMG COOL! and fast. and not all that bad on gas. Con's: rides a little…

Check your BMR! (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator) This is the minimum amount of calories you need to take in to make sure you body doesn't believe you're starving. :smile: It will likely be much higher than your goal calories. Then, make sure you exercise enough to get your calories back down to your goal.…

100% agree with this, especially for women. 200% if you haven't had kids yet, body fat plays a huge part in being overall health. 22-25% BF is perfect. Guys can use the BMI numbers without too much issue, but not women IMHO.

It describes the speed in the exercise description - slow is 2.0mph, leisurely is 2.5mph. Use your car to measure 2 miles and 2.5 miles, then walk the same route for an hour and see how far you get.

I tried changing my exercise goals (I'm starting to exercise more often as I am fiiiiiinally starting to enjoy it) and my calories goal for the day stayed the same. Weird? But, I can tell you this - you need to do some weight training or resistance training as well as cardio - you need to build and tone muscle, as it's…

My honest feeling is that you might be measuring too often, so you see the bumps instead of the trends. I know I do, I should really only enter measurements every week or two. There's a reason they don't have weight-in's on Biggest Loser every day! Re-reading your post, I'm not sure i have understood what you are asking,…

Hi, can you clarify - you changed your *exercise* goals, or your *weight loss* goals (the question "What is your goal?")? Anyway, if you are getting headaches, it could be the type of exercise perhaps. Tight muscles across your upper back and/or shoulders will give you a headache - you know how your muscles hurt more the…

Hi. Seeing as you just joined, I'm going to assume you are just starting out. Apologies if that's not the case. Re: calories, yes you need to boost your intake a bit. Snack more often, with something that has protein. Carrots and hummus, a small salad with a boiled or poached egg in it, a small chicken salad sandwich, and…

don't overthink it

<while munching on my subway> 6" turkey double meat (has less sodium than turkey+ham), no cheese, FRESH, salad as you like it. Be careful of the "lite" sauces as they can contain lots of sugar, they are only lite in fat. I go with sweet onion. Note that the wrap has higher calories than the bread, and as it's less filling…

Good work, I (selfishly) hope to be able to do the same! Well done.
