I usually burn 500 a workout and sometimes do 3 a day (before work, cycling to and from work, then after work) and that can be 1500 a day. I rarely do more than an hour at once though, so only have done about 3 hours about three or four times, and each time I burnt over 1500 calories (half marathon, triathlon training,…

an actual bike for cycling around places? or a standing still one? I bought my bike to get around ages ago and haven't looked back. I'm now looking at upgrading to a better one so I can do proper workouts, but cycling to and from work takes as much time as driving or catching public transport, and burns almost 500 calories…

I fell off the bandwagon a bit over the weekend and this morning (Monday in Australia!) weighed in at 1kg/2 pounds heavier than last week! Kinda scary but I'm hoping I do so much exercise these days that I'll bounce back better than I used to and can still make the goal. I still want to make the goal! I guess I need to…

When you say there's no visible difference... is this what you can see? Or other people? Sometimes we see ourselves so often that we adjust our mental picture... we don't notice the change... what do people who last saw you before you started losing weight say? I'm 5 7 and didn't seem to put on weight on my top half, I…

A bit late, but better than never, right? 170cm/5'6" CW: 81.8kg/180pounds If I lose 30 pounds/15kg by Christmas I'll be at my goal! Edited: I didn't catch this post on Monday but I think I still met the challenges. Does herbal tea count towards glasses of water? Can't drink water straight unless I have active thirst, but…

Oh, the other thing that got me up exercising when I did't feel like it was entering a 14km (10 mile?) race. I wasn't fit enough at the time of entry, but had 8 weeks and people told me I could get fit enough in 8 weeks, at the very worst to walk it. Then becusae I'd paid money and told so many people about it I sort of…

Finding a workout partner can be good, if they're quite a bit fitter than you, but a good friend so are wliling to wait for you. We don't go to the gym but prefer to go for runs outside. She has to wait for me all the time, and towards the end of the run is giving me encouragement. Seeing how much fitter she is than me…

All great advice, thanks!

Yeah, I think I need to break the 'oh it's X-time. Time to eat!' habit. End up eating out of habit and not for hunger!

My mother was really switched on with healthy food and keeping fit so I know what to do... but can't do it. Willpower, motivation, sticking to it, tricks and tips. I can usually stay focused for a couple of days or a week, but have no idea how to stay on track for weeks or months ongoing. And willpower stuff. Like how I…

does that include when you lose, then gain, then lose, then gain? end up pretty much where you started? I lost 12 pounds in my first 6 weeks, then for the past 6 weeks I've only lost two, and gone up and down heaps. I guess my exercise was slacking off a bit, I'd lost focus in diet and training. I decided on a new plan,…
