I struggle more at weekends when I have to really think about what I'm going to eat and evenings when I know I have to stop at the supermarket. There is no quick fix easy answer other than: planning in advance what you're going to eat that day. Never ever going to the supermarket without having eaten first. ( this is my…

I did protein shakes for 4 days a few weeks ago but I had norovirus at the time and couldn't hold anything down/in. Great for the weight loss until I recovered and re-gained most of that short term drop. Don't do it. They aren't made to be lived on and "cleansing" is BS you have a fully evolved digestive system that needs…

There is now a huge section of the supermarket I have to avoid. I made the mistake of walking through it last week and walked out with 3 terry's chocolate oranges (they were on offer) they didn't last very long either. Between that and the yard of jaffa cakes which are on sale everywhere at the moment it's very hard to…

Engineer specialising in global navigation satellite systems, control and monitoring and time distribution, or as like like to describe it a "master of time and space". I'm a full time sci-fi/fantasy addict and gadget loving techno geek. On top of all that, I'm well on my way to losing the 45kg/~100lbs I was originally…

Get some gymnastics rings, amazon do them for about £25 Do body rows and push ups and dips and chinups on them and you will build loads of muscle. Possibly the best piece of equipment I own and probably the cheapest. Every exercise is more challenging with them, due to the freedom of movement they have and yet kinder to…

I love the withings scale and the integration it has with fitbit and MFP and all the other sites and services I use but like any other scale that measure BF% using conductivity of the skin it's useless on a measurement by measurement basis, however the trend is more important over time.

So I don't sweat though a shirt at work when everyone is reaching for coats and jumpers. So I can have a picture taken of me an not want to smash the camera when I see the photo. To be able to have a full length mirror in the house and not have it depress me. So I can buy clothes in normal shops and not just specialist…

34 for another month or so. By all means add me,

Request sent.

Garmin swim is an almost direct swimming fitbit and will measure laps and stroke efficiency. I plan on getting one myself shortly.

What a difference. Keep up the great work you're doing and a belated happy birthday.

Start again and remember and learn from your past. Good journey.

I can't see the group either.

I bought a kayak 2 weeks ago after not getting in one for 20 years. It's awesome I go out 3-4 times a week to the local canal and paddle upstream to the river split and ride the river back. Including the walk to the canal and home again my HRM says I'm burning 2700 calories a trip. Which has given me a different problem.…

I've had PF for 7 years. Your pain location sounds like classic PF. Your choices are: Night splints - tension the foot whilst you sleep in an effort to reduce first step pain (in morning). exercises - using a tennis ball or squash ball roll it gently under the sole of your foot and stretch the muscle. Orthotics - I…

I used to have a basic WW glass scale. I used to weigh myself 3 times and average the result. I found that it seemed to latch onto a weight but if you got on carrying a heavy weight it would cause it to forget your last weigh in and the next time you get on it it would actually give you a reading. I chopped it in for a…

The question I would ask is "is it sustainable for the rest of your life?" you will find you lose weight quicker on a supplement drink regime but what happens after that? That's not to slight the supplement crowd but real food is better for you.

I used my physical injuries as justification to avoid exercise, ate like crap and subsequently fell into long term depression. Also changed jobs away from shift work where I had a ton of free time and opportunity to move around, to a sedentary 9-5 desk job .

2 weeks ago when I hit 10kg I booked my first paragliding lesson, then set myself a challenge to lose another 2Kg before it happens (this saturday, weather permitting).

This ^ 100% screw diets, If I want to eat something I will, but I will pay for it in exercise or reduced portions for the rest of the day. In order to do that, you have to have at least a rough idea of what your input and outputs are.

Linux/ Unix support. Real time mission critical control and monitoring of RADAR and navigation systems including satellite services and ground based nav-aids. I also dabble in hobby electronics and I'm a total gadget geek. I'm working on breaking the stereotype but I've got a long way to go.

I've always gone for nerdy girls. If I can't debate gadgets and fantasy novels whilst watching some sci-fi then you're going to bore me. That said, I do own a drift car which I built and maintain. am working towards regaining my fitness and have my first paragliding lesson next week.

Feel free to add me. I'm also in the UK.

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die. ~Princess Bride All right, listen up guys. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except... the four *kitten* coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation. ~Die Hard

Yep single, but happy with it at the moment.

Yeah TMJ sucks. Unlike the posters so far I have no trouble opening my jaw, I just can't close it without loads of pain. Its settled a bit in recent months and with careful re-location I can get my teeth to line up for a couple of hours which at least allows me to chew food but the chronic ear aches and tension headaches…

On a work day I now take the the stairs always and take laps of the car park at lunch to meet 20 floors and 10k steps. Today I've done quite well and I'm at 12k steps so I'm going to try for the 15k badge and go for a walk in a minute. The damn thing just makes you want to work harder and more often. It's totally worth the…

You've been doing great all week. loads of exercise and good food choices. I started at a similar weight on the 23rd of May since then I've lost 22lb. It's early days and the weight will fall off to begin with. Don't worry.

My initial goal is only 86lbs but I could probably stand to lose way more than that. Feel free to add me.

Good health om your journey. I'll gladly lend you moral support as a fellow tech guy who sits at a desk eating too much.
