Brilliant idea, well done..:)

I use it most days......its a fun way of exercising, I use the wii sports and do tennis, baseball and boxing and i love using the wii step and wii run...will be getting the zumba next week.

As you're using a HRM it hopefully is fairly accurate with the number of cals you have actually used in an hour. I do not eat back my BMR because I do want to be as accurate as possible and I exercise every day. The people I do worry about are those who do not have a HRM and are using MFP's exercise cals or their own…

Firstly it was buying a 2nd hand exercise bike which my sister said I would never use!....to me thats a red rag to a bull....BUT most days it is still so difficult, so I'm writing a blog about my virtual cycle tour of the UK.....for every hour I cycle i log 10 miles and then every 100 miles (10 cycle hours) I look on a map…

I enjoy Minstrel chocolates and always have a packet at home. Each one is approx 15 cals, so if i have the urge i just have 1 or 2 and i do log them. I do have to hide them when my sister visits as she cannot have chocolate around and not eat it....guess i'm very fortunate in that while i do enjoy chocolate I can easily…

Bump.....I'm unable to answer but sure there must be someone out there who can help :)

No looks mysterious and the girls love that!...:)

My captain of the Coast Busters has posted about this on out own forum, and I was flabbergasted to read it. Why would anyone want to cheat about the number of cals they have used....firstly they are cheating themselves ( makes me hope that they forget the cals are incorrect and that they eat them all !!!) and secondly if…

1) Alpen Origional swiss style muesli 2) Chives 3) Cherry Tomatoes 4) Double Gloucester cheese..........in my defense I only have 1oz grated most lunch times on top of my pasta meal ...LOL 5) Spinach and Ricotta Tortelloni 6) Yorkshire Ham 7) Chicken Risotto 8) Tick Tock Redbush tea 9) Morrisons Broccoli and cheese 10)…

2 week cruise of the East Mediterranean in October....so looking forward to it. The main problem off course will be the food which is there 24/7....but I am going with a friend who is in a wheelchair and who weighs almost 17 stone and I will be doing the pushing, so think that will take care of some of the extra cals I…

That explains part of my problem..thank you :)

Firstly, you are inspiring and please be very very proud of what you have so far achieved :) I was 230lb when I joined MFP and due to multiple health issues have not exercised in years and was afraid to go for a walk incase I went so far and found I couldn't get back. At the same time I joined the site I joined the gym…

I've actually had this problem for a number of years mainly due to the amount of pain killers i'm on. Fortunately a friend suggested Lamberts Eliminex, its a prebiotic which "encourages the growth of friendly bacteria in the bowel and therefore leads to better bowel tone,more regular movements and a reduction in digestive…

I lost just under 6lb my first week, then half a pound the second!......think of it as a good start on your journey :)

BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :laugh: :tongue: :love: :flowerforyou: :smile: :wink: :happy: :heart: :bigsmile:

Bump

Bump....mainly because there is a link on this topic to the Horizon program which was a real eye opener...For those interested in the 5:2 part of the program it is about half way through that it gets talked about, before that he looks into other ways of eating

Hello and welcome. It was weird to start with, but has now become so much a part of my daily life that its now a natural thing to do. I don't go out for a meal without first checking calorie values of food that will be on the menu, and I even use it to check the difference in calories between brands of food before buying.…

Have set the tv to record, will also reserve judgement until after programme. Problem is that for any weight plan loss, and for any item of food which causes controversy (like diet coke) there are numerous studies which are for or against. The majority of the studies are either years old and have never been looked at again…

:flowerforyou:

Even out here in the country the bells were ringing and so were mine :).......well I actually banged the kettle with a knife for a minute, didn't keep on for the whole 3 mins! Really looking forward to the Olympics and intend to watch the cycling road races while using my exercise cycle..:)....need all the…

Yes I was extrinsically motivated (Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain an outcome) to join this site so that I could have help and be inspired (To stimulate to action; to motivate) to change my eating habits in order for me to loose weight. Do I care if the word I use to ask for…

I have only deleted people who have not commented regularly on my profile page. Every day I try and comment on all my MFP pals profiles, and I expect my friends to comment on mine at least 2-3 times a week. Its one reason why I keep my group of friends small. I do have a couple who daily eat below 1200 cals and they…

Firstly is 1200 calories were you should be starting?.....it all depends on your BMR and TDEE......you don't say how long before that you were loosing weight and how much. I'm afraid that people can only suggest ideas to you if they know all the facts. I plateaued for 5 weeks, but then upped my cals to my BMR and have been…

I was born in Lancaster and lived in Morecambe until my early 20's...still have family in that area, and I soooo love going back. I now live in the Hereford/ Worcester area, but will always be a Lancashire lass :)

Just turned 61 and while it has its own problems I also think that being older is helping me loose weight!...I have been overweight since my late 30,s when I took ill and have had health issues ever since. Every year it seemed as though more pounds went on until I plateaued about 4 years ago and stayed at that weight. I…

At home I read a lot and am part of a book circle (we buy books usually from charity shops, pass round to each other and the last person to read it takes it back to a charity shop ), I also play on my playstation and when I feeling up to it use my wii for exercise. I love my garden but am not always well enough to work in…

I'm in my 5th week at it and so glad that I requested my doctor for the referral. The course runs 12 weeks and I get time at the gym at a slightly reduced rate, plus the gym instructor has worked out a regime for me. That way I am only using equipment which he thinks will help and not do anymore damage to me! As I find…

Its not easy, and I am more than sure that you knew that right from the word go!....Some friends can also not be encouraging as I have found, so you need to get yourself some inner strengh.....if possible prepare as much as you can before you go out....if its just for a drink find out what calories are in the various…

:wink: England to be precise ......but feel I should be from :love: .....France particularly Paris, every time I visit there I feel as though I'm going home :)
