ok so lesser tess says it better but thats what i meant lol

its only bad because of the way the body burns energy. 2 pounds a week is the max because anymore and your body is burning more muscle than fat which is your working body not fat, including organs. it puts a strain on your body too leaving you tired and weaker. the body can only burn fat at a certain speed but when it is…

Its been difficult getting back into the swing of things after a crazy August. Its hard to feel pleased with having a weight gain of 5lbs but people keep saying its great that I'm not smoking so i guess it is. I do feel quite on track today. had a good workout this morning and got more meals planned for the week. the…

good point. congrats on the c25k i lasted one day. but you're right weight is a number fitness first hence im more pleased about not smoking rather than being p****d ive put a few pounds on. lol. good luck at the push ups and well done on the weight loss anyways the numbers looks great !
-
well im doing thirty day shred and decided to do this as well. shred in the morning pushups at night. was feeling flush so spent a pound on the iphone app lol. will begin later. 27 was my base number but the app tells me where to start. update later. also msarro i swear last time i saw your post it said 90 pounds lost. how…

did mine today back to level one. never completed this before but it knocked a few pounds off last time i got halfway through it. level two is the hardest but level three the most complicated i think. did it back in july but had a mega binge month in august so back to the start today. I quit smoking over the last few…

like i said i am just starting again. i wear a heart monitor and log it as circuit training. mfp says that 28 minutes, which the shred is roughly, for my weight burns 290 cals. wearing my HRM on for the past five days it has recorded between 280-320 cals depending on exertion so i think that circuit traing is the best…

i was going to start on september 1st but i got back from holiday and hadn't strayed to far with my weight so i started straight away. did day five this morning. would like to still be in the group if its ok it will take me more than thirty days to finish it lol. i did it in july but failed after 10 days because i went on…

-
ditto above. i want to throw mine out the window. Mind you I went up 5 pounds over hols and now back down 2 of those in the first four days back from hol. i was hoping for that. But i still feel like i have lost 4 weeks work but i haven't been near cigarettes for ages now so i suppose that is much healthier than a few…

i got lost somewhere this month. was doing really well before my week away. i knew it would be hard away from home with no where to exercise and only one menu to choose from. mind you i really enjoyed it. so i got back from hols last night and finished off with a curry before getting back to normality. this morning 12st 5…

I ran all the way to the train staion without stopping yesterday. which is just over a mile. i am a usless runner and could not make it to the end of the road from smoking and no exercising. that was about 2 months ago. felt great to fly down the road yesterday. its a mini goal but things can only get better
-
the end of my week has sucked bad. been working late nights all week then sudenly had a day shift yesterday so was knacked which makes me hungry for bad foods. it was a buffet breakfast and a buffet lunch. basically everything deepfried 'cept the plates. then it was the other halfs birthday so it was out for a curry on the…

i get my f6 tommorrow. im excited lol. and to answer BrendaLee most heart rate monitors state whether they have the chest strap or not but you have to look around. and even better a coded chest strap. i think it means that if it is coded then there is no interference with other heart monitors if you are working out in a…

you can log it in cardio exercise as weight training but it is totally non specific. the only way to get an acurate calories burnt is to use a heart rate monitor during your workout. polar and reebok have been recomended a lot on this website as rated HRM. also strenght traing has the added bonus of burning extra calories…

true but you know those days where you over do it. i only have 4 hours left at work but i don;t think thats enough time to fill out my food diary. i'll pretend it didn;t happen. then whinge about it tommorrow lol.!

hey there. i was the same with my ticker but you can edit it and put your original start weight in. thats what i did. i was annoyed 'coz i joined mfp halfway through my journey. mine only used to say 10 pounds lost but it looks better with the real numbers on.
-
looked at level three today. i was stressed out after not be able to locate my nicotine patches. thougth i would exercise it out. what can i say. the start feels so much better. and i know that it is tough but i think my core muscles are stronger than my shoulders and upper body because the strain wasn't in my muscles this…
-
heard of "insanity" workouts. they just use body weight. i'm interested myself but will have to do the test first. another beachbody product but it generally involves a lot of jumping about lol. just kidding. very hardcore apparantly but im not sure of your fitness level. mine is bad so i won;t be starting just yet ha ha.
-
excellent. thanks for all your help and so fast lol. i won;t be using it near anyone (loner!!) but you never know where you will be in the future. i will probably spend the extra. england prices the f6 and f4 are even closer. 48 pounds i think i have it there.
-
i've been loggin it as circuit training although i guess it depends how intese you work out. i buy my Heart rate monitor tonight so it will be more accurate. for me it says 256 for 25 mins and i'm 167lbs atm but i think that feels a little high. we shall see when i get the HRM
