That's great Heybales - all clear. There's an app called RunGap that can read from Strava and / or Garmin and right to Apple Health / TrainingPeaks etc

@heybales - Hey Mike, hope you're well. Can I just check that I've got this right. .... * MFP and Pacer are both set to sedentary * MFP and Pacer are linked * Pacer and Apple Health are linked * MFP step count is updated to read Pacer data rather than Apple Watch So .... When I go for my morning walk I don't record on…

50 minutes of weights then 30 minutes on the dreadmill.

Cold one today.

I appear to have added myself to a random team - let's see how it goes.

Are you looking for a magic bullet? There isn't one. You've said it already - diet and exercise.

As the above posters have said, folk are interested in their own workout and don't really notice what other folk are up to (unless they are hogging the squat rack). Do take the induction session - they really help. It won't be long until you're addicted!

I have the same issues with my work which also involves a lot of flights. I don't think there's an easy answer apart from planning your weeks ahead. Good luck.

You may not be eating enough to fuel your workouts. What is your calorie input?

What video settings do you use on the VIRB? It's a lot clearer than any of my efforts :-)

Happy for anyone to add me. Had a "relapse" but now back with a vengeance!

Great job. Love the user name!

Bump

Did your nutrition plans go well?

I had the same problem and Polar replaced the chest strap. OK after that.

Agreed!

Calipers are very accurate *IF USED PROPERLY*. However, they are quite tricky to get right if you are taking your own skinfold measurements

I agree with this bit

Neither is spot on but the HRM is *more* accurate as it is more personalised.

Can the gym staff set up a program for you? If you do the wrong thing you will end up at best demoralised and at worst injured. A PT session or two would be great if you can afford it.

Try it and see. There's no one size fits all answer.

You are whatever weight you are regardless of whether or not you stand on the scales. It merely gives you the benchmark by which you measure your success. Deep breath and do it.

Take a look at the Polar FT7. That breaks down your workout into fat % lost. Bear in mind that they're all just an estimate but this one's good (IME). Also, if you are already slim then you should give some thought to lifting and a good weights routine.

Cheers Side Steel. BTW, I wasn't flexed in any of the pics and I think all my "extra" is loose skin :-(

I'd be grateful if someone could take a guess at mine. I'm 190 pounds and 5' 11''. My scales say I'm 15% BF - I would guess at 18-20. Thanks guys

Good thread ... Mon: C25K and 30 min weight session in the morning. Spin at night Tue: Weights Wed: Spin Thurs: c25K and HIT on bike in the morning. Swimming at night Fri: PT Session Sat: Cycle, C25K, swim, Body Balance class Sun: Rest or cycle

Fantastic job - you just have to add in some lifting now!

I think that you *are* moderately active. You still need to eat, evn if you are losing weight. Why not set yourself as moderately active and then monitor / adjust over the next few weeks.

I had both my hips replaced last year. I asked my surgeon during a check up last month if I could start jogging. It was a most emphatic NO.
