I agree that the main thing here is to remember you are on holiday! Yes, it's best not to go too mad but the last thing you want to do is come home and feel like you haven't got the most out of your break...if you feel like you've really deprived yourself you won't feel as relaxed and happy as you should on & after a…

thanks so much for the info JoMarie - I really hope you're talking evening/overnight temperatures in the 50s and not during the day (might as well stay here for those temps!!) Heading your way this weekend and SO looking forward to it!! George

Hi all I did level 1 straight through with no rest but had to take 3 consecutive rest days on L2 as my knees were hurting like hell!

Hell, I'm English....anything above 70-ish is pretty much shorts weather - we have to take all our opportunities!!

If I close my eyes I can see myself on that beach right now! Thanks so much for posting - it is pouring with rain here! George

Thanks so much JoMarie, really appreciate it. Here in southern England it is max 50 degrees during the day and way colder overnight so I am so much looking forward to my stay over there! The outside dining sounds particularly wonderful - shame to sit inside in the air-con when it's so pleasant out! Someone else told me…

Thanks all, really appreciate the info - it sounds wonderful!!

I just downloaded "Waterlogged" for iphone - haven't tried it yet but 20 ratings give nearly 5 stars & it's free!

boob job (and what is side boob??? lol)

Hey, it could just be the scale....you'd be amazed at the difference between scales.

Check out the post called "Quitting Smoking while changing food/exercise habits" started by alicepoppyh Similar theme & lots of people who've achieved just what you're starting out on. You can do it!!

Happy to give it a go if it means I can eat more!! Thanks for posting

I absolutely agree. I've been an overweight couch potato & committed smoker for at least 15 years and decided enough was enough. When I told friends & family I was going to pack up smoking and lose weight/get fit at the same time, they all said it would be too much to do all at once, but I think it's perfectly logical - to…

What a great piece of advice! I have never really thought about it like that before but you're dead right!!

I have the Ultra model & to start the stopwatch feature you hold down the little button for 2 seconds till the stopwatch starts. To stop, hold the button down for another 2 seconds will "STOP" and a little flag appear! Then when you go onto Fitbit website, you'll see that you've logged an activity for that period, which…

Oops - missed the reply!! the Fitbit only measures "real" elevation (ie, walking up hill or up stairs), not Simulated elevation such as Stairmaster/treadmill. But it REALLY REALLY motivates you to get moving - I've had mine for 2 months and was previously a couch potato - can't believe how much more active I've been since…

sounds like a great idea....sometimes the craving for something sweet is so huge it feels like I haven't eaten at all. Last night after I ate my tea I was so desperate for something sweet that my stomach was rumbling like I hadn't eaten yet - not good!! Am popping down the shop now!!

Well done you!! I haven't ridden a bike for at least 20 years but was given one recently and managed to cycle home from work (around 4.2 miles) a few nights ago...found it pretty hard but really enjoyed it and it felt like it was doing me good! Have you always cycled or is it something you've taken up as part of your…

no way - every little counts as far as I'm concerned & I log pretty much everything!
