I download heaps of songs designed for workouts from Workout Music. https://www.workoutmusic.com/ Yes its costs, but you can get playlists at set beats per minute for all exercises, or recordings for set things... cardio, walking, etc. Also has lots of different genre for all tastes.

:laugh: Lol KahuNZ @ catching the ferry. Still adding to my diary daily. Now I'm just past Tauranga... the duathlon training helps.

786km... adding in my cycling kms as well...nearly at Tauranga. Wow KahuNZ, your zooming. Was it hard swimming across the ditch? :happy:

587 km as of today... Still in Auckland, can't wait til that line gets further south... *Waves* to the other walkers wherever you are. :happy:

On Yahoo today...'The truth about calories' http://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/mens-health/nutrition/healthy-eating/article/-/14425252/the-truth-about-calories/ Stuff we all know, but quite interesting.

Have just had 2 'burger' stacks Freyas sandwich thins at the base - 1/2 for each base Lite cream cheese Baby spinach greens Chargrilled style chicken breast - halved between the 2 Beetroot Grilled Portobello flat mushroom to top it off A bit of plain baked pumpkin on the side Yum 396 calories total

I also edit the product if I have the nutrition values - from the packet on hand. You can do this on the database - to give a more accurate calculation and nutrient info. In the end this helps everyone.

Check you are downloading the right app for your phone. I find it great to use at the supermarket when comparing products, like bread etc.

445 km up to today...apparently according to the AA maps I'm on the 'Southern Motorway, Manurewa, Auckland'. Hi there Auckland... just passing through. :happy:

I have been on MFP since February, and yes... have lost the weight steadily, and reflecting in the quidelines. I eat within my calorie level, and within my carb/fat/sugar etc settings. I increased my fibre setting in the custom goal area, as it now reflects a better daily amount as recommended by nutritionists - 30g/day. I…

Looking at your diary - you are going over on carbs a lot, and down on protein. You need to solidly log your food for at least 2 weeks to get back on track, also to make sure you are not missing out on loaded calorie/carb meals. I work on a lower carb, higher protein regime. Keep within my fat allowance, and have upped my…

I'm an older version of most... :-) I'm the approx the same height at 5'2", and have a small frame. I am aiming for 121lb (55kg), and am currently at 133lb (60kg) I started at 166lb (75kg)

Baby beetroot (or beetroot chopped up) - warmed through with a tablespoon of light mayo mixed through, along with a large portobello mushroom grilled, with dry baked potato or kumara (in NZ, sweet potato elsewhere) slices.

"You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure."

Have been a geocacher in NZ since 2007, 231 finds (a bit sporadic over time). Have sent out a few geocoins that are circulating the world. Both my brothers (and their partners) and parents are geocachers. We had a night bug racer competition for a year, around NZ - releasing 4 night racer geocoins at the same time then…

I don't consider having food that is perceived as 'bad' for you - e.g small amounts of chocolate as 'cheating'. I build these in to my daily intake as a snack, and stay below my calorie intake with other healthy food choices. I would consider a 'cheat day' to be one where I intentionally lie about my intake. I don't do…

10 May... 215km. According to AA maps, if I travel the main highway, I have reached Waiomio, Kawakawa, Northland. Wow... where are the other travellers (walkers) in NZ according to their distance walked.

I agree about the 'winter woes', but I'm going to meet them head on as a challenge! That is why I have taken my exercise options indoors as well - and at home. Its getting dark by the time I get home from morning shifts - so eat a good tea, digest for a bit, then jump on the Wii for exercise. No excuses related to weather…

Hi Paxier, I use My tracks app on my phone. Needs GPS but really good, then use a pedometer at work for my distance there.

1st of May... 185km. Yay

I have a Beurer PM45. Great HRM for an amateur / beginner like me. You input height, weight, gender, etc. It presets your lo, 'in' zone and hi heart rate training zones. Watch style, with chest strap. Easy to use. Records calories burned, as well as grams of fat burned. Also time spent within each heart rate zone while…

As of today - 157.9 km. :-)

104.6 km so far... Logging my work distances as well because I do 4 - 6km while on shift, and work has been quite tiring lately - cutting in to my other exercise time. I have a slight track showing on my map.

Good on you. Am thinking of allowing for a small hollow easter egg... I am a confirmed chocoholic. Just don't want to fall off the wagon so to speak.. :noway: Happy Easter as well. Enjoy those treats. We deserve them.

Good distance. WTG As of 3/4/12... covered 60.3 km. Good motivator for walking.

Logged on, and looking forward to 'seeing the sights' ... :happy: Lets keep posting our progress.

Hi, I joined MFP in late february - needing to lose the 'quakegirth' that has built up over the last 18 months, as my bones and muscles aren't doing to well with the extra load. Have lost over 4kg so far - and enjoying being able to REALLY know my calorie intake, and eat good food. Aiming to lose 10-12kg if possible. I'm…

Baked Monkfish with Peppercorn Sauce, over rice, with whole baby beans... Yum... 410 calories total.

I am on 1200 calories, and find it most days hard to eat up to that amount. I am feeling heaps better but did go through that one week 'struggle' and tired feeling. I am finding it really interesting literally getting to know what I eat and whats in it. The calories, the portions and the ability to still eat what I want -…
