In. Day 1 1 - 4.4 mile walk to/from the other side of town (my normal walking speed is above 3.5mph which MFP considers "brisk" for some reason so let's count it, yeah?) - Done 2 - 2.4 mile walk to/from gym - to do, soon, in like an hour 3 - 45 uphill walk on the treadmill. 11% incline @ 4km/hr which works out at around 2…

I have to walk about 4 miles today as a matter of course, and will be on the treadmill at the gym walking uphill for 45 mins so should get 10,000 steps in that way, but will add some extra walking in (perhaps taking the long route) to get to my 14,000 goal.

Wait, was this meant to be @ me instead? Never mind second opinion, I've seen more than 20 OBGYN over the course of a decade. I've seen all of the top ones in the UK and at this point I'm making my way through the dregs.

I'm in, but not for 10lb as that will be too much in a month for me. Count me in for 8. Current: 165.8 Goal by July 1: 158

Yeah, this is exactly why I weigh daily and not once a week. If I just happened to be randomly high on weigh-day it would mess me up all week. Echoing what everyone else says about first thing in the morning etc. Naked is best as well, for obvious reasons. Pretty much why I hate getting weighed at the doctor surgery - just…

Yes fitbit folk can add me as well https://www.fitbit.com/user/4MJPZK

Count me in! My personal goal is 14,000 steps a day (98,000) and at least 7 miles, increasing (aiming for 52 miles this week, 54 next week, then 56 etc etc) Logged 115,326 steps last week. Tracking with my fitbit :)

I have a charge HR and I love it. It's RRP £120 but I got mine on Amazon for £85 so there's always deals to be had. It is really motivating me to hit step and workout goals (I'm still recovering from a knee injury so can't run yet, and that was really demotivating but now I'm just walking a lot to get it in and the bit is…

Glasgow here as well!

Yes, it is a topic pretty much guaranteed to get me foaming at the mouth within minutes but I'm trying not to be a Debbie Downer today. I'm wondering at which point I become "old enough" in the eyes of doctors to decide that no, really, I don't want children anyway and no, really, I don't want to be menopausal my entire…

No, they won't grant me one of those. I'm injected with very very large doses of hormones to put my body into a menopausal state. The medication is actually not supposed to be given to women at all, and is reserved for the treatment of prostate cancer in men. The more you know! (A milder dosage of the drug, administered…

I can't speak for being POST-menopause, but I've been in medically induced menopause for 6 years (so still actively menopausal, rather than post, and will be actively-menopausal for the foreseeable future. Possibly until I hit the menopause for real). The change in hormones does lower your metabolism (given that metabolism…

A stone in 14 weeks is just 1lb/week. Maintain a deficit of 500 cals/day. Either move more to the equivalent of 500 cals (which would be ~approx 5 miles of walking), eat 500 cal less, or a mix of both. Edited to add: you need to be consistent, and if you do have a day where you splurge, you're going to need to make up for…

Yes, HappyScale is great if you prefer to track on the phone and not via desktop!

I'm the same as you. I weigh daily to keep track of fluctuations (I too find it interesting! And actually more useful than weighing once a week because you could just pick a "heavy" day and think you gained when you didn't - you just had too much salt the previous day anyway I digress) Mine will bob around a lot over the…

They're actually listed right there on the receipt as a separate category for me. Near the top, where they put the "items we substituted" section, they list "items that expire soon after delivery". So that won't be anything to do with the driver, as they don't print the receipts. I'd show an example, but I've not had a…

Tesco do this too. They note "short-date" items and ask if you want to take them. I pretty much always do. They also separate any "substitituted" items into a coloured bag so you can easily retrieve them to return if you're not happy with the substitute. Although sometimes you get a more expensive item for a reduced rate…

Did you mean June 3rd? March 3 - May 3 is only two full months (March - April, April - May) Anyway, in. Going to Rome in July and want to be healthy weight (147 is max for my height) by then so I need to lose 1.25lb a week until I get there. I take Thursday as my weigh-in day though. But I mostly weigh myself daily to…

Men and women can't be friends because they might get attracted to each other. In other breaking news, bisexual people don't have friends at all. For us, there is only prey. I've actually never had a single friend in my entire life.

If you're referring to the exercise diary/log, it is absolutely included. Search "Les Mills BODYPUMP" under Cardiovascular activities. I log mine all the time.

300 (breakfast) + 300 (lunch) + 400-500 (dinner) + 400 (snacks) = 1400-1500, not 1200 or less.

Well, I'm a bit late so I'll use my weight from my birthday weekend (last week) and 'start' then giving me 6 and a half weeks. SW: 152 (april 25) CW: 149.5 GW: 142 (Jun 10) Apr 25 - 152 May 02 - 149.5 May 09 May 16 <<mini-goal 147.5>> May 23 May 30 Jun 06 <<mini-goal 143>> Jun 10 <<goal 142>>

Honestly I burn 800-2,000 calories a day in exercise (yes, 2000. Wednesdays are a hectic exercise day for me. Tuesdays (800) not so much. 1,200-1,300 is about the average, I think) and I struggle to eat even 50% of them back so heck no I do not envy that. Somewhere around 1,800-2,000 is just fine for me - and even then I…

Yeah, this.

I feel. 1200 cals, 5'4 losing 1lb. That's why I do a LOT of exercise. I eat back half my exercise cals to allow for MFP estimate discrepancy and end up with 1,700-1,900 on most days. I'd lose 1lb if I stuck to 1,200 but I mostly lose 1.25-1.5 because of the exercise and being generous with my 'buffer zone' Although I've…
