They are worth it. I have one. :-) x

Plan your daily meals in advance if you can and maybe have more (but smaller) meals spread over the day.

I agree with Mokey41

I compared mine over a 24hour period with my Heart Rate monitor and there was only 60 cals difference between them, so over all pretty accurate I would say.

Hi, I used to go to S/W too and did very well for a time, but since counting cals with MFP and watching my macros I came to realise that in fact S/W isn't really a healthy way to lose weight! It promotes over eating in a big way with all its 'free food' and some of those free foods can contain a lot of salt, and when you…

I wore my HRM for 24hours the other day to compare calories burned with what my Fitbit estimates and the Fitbit was only over by 60cals. But the fitbit does really only count steps, so for more detalied records you need to input the exercise manually through MFP or something similar.

I am a larger lady and I have one that fits around the chest...it sits just underneath your boobs and as long as its tight enough it won't move. They are much better than just the wrist ones as they give a much more accurate and consistent reading. Mine is a sportsline model and it beeps when you are above and below target…

Thanks, I was wondering whether or not to eat my cals back, I will set a limit and stick to it to see how it goes. I weigh every friday morning before i eat or dress.. like yourself. I maybe don't drink enough water and this is something I need to work on. Sleep is sometimes an issue but I really cannot do much about that…

I love my fitbit too! feel free to add me anyone. Thanks :-) http://www.fitbit.com/user/26K52J

Hi, I am from Cambridgeshire. You can add me too if you like :-)

You are definitely not eating enough. You only consumed just under 900 cals on Saturday yet you did over 1600 cals worth of exercise. From what I have heard before I assume you will be burning muscle mass rather than fat and by eating so little your body will hold on to all it can just to survive. When doing that amount of…

Wow!! thats amazing! well done you look great! :-) xx

LOL I guess no one wanted to add me then!

Hi all anyone feel free to add me also...I too am on a long journey :-)

Hi I need to lose over 100 feel free to add me also. Thanks :-)

Hi ya I am from the UK too..feel free to add me :-)

I don't log the little things as they are actually part of normal everyday life, so extra exercise only for me.

Thanks I will try and do that..I just find it hard sometimes to use those last cals without eating junk. i could try more fruit i guess. I do have a day off a week, some days I only do 30 mins others I do an hour. I really appreciate your input sometimes an extra pair of eyes is all it takes.

I do know that my sleep isn't always the best as I have to get up several times a night due to Fibroids. I am on Iron supplements and my last count was normal. I drink at least 2ltr water a day. So maybe i need something straight after my workout rather than leaving it almost 2 hours til dinner. Thanks for your advice..I…

I have opened my diary...I usually exercise between 2 and 5 as thats my only real free time. I do also go on walks in the evenings with my daughter sometimes.

No I'm not taking anything other than what I eat..I do try to eat something high in protein with a little carbs an hour and a half before i exercise, but I don't eat anything after..maybe thats where I am going wrong? so do you think I should try whey protein for after my workout? (regarding my diary...thank you) Also I am…

Absolutely brilliant achievement! Well done :-)

[quote Really though, you have what I'd call a pretty active job and that should be reflected in your activity level when you set your profile up. If you've included that activity already as part of your job and thus your activity level, you wouldn't eat those calories back...only "exercise" calories that are above and…

Yeah i go by my HRM now. There is sometimes a huge difference, so I would rather be on the safe side..any extra is a bonus :-)

This :-)

Peterborough! :-) Feel free to add.

I was gonna suggest you give her a slap til I realized what you were saying. Its so true there is no bigger critic than ourselves sadly.

I eat what I want. I make lots of healthy choices but a few treats here and there sneak in too occasionally and I am still losing weight just fine.

Hey ya! I am British :-) feel free to add

My grocery bill has increased by around £20 a week some weeks even more!
