  • Well done! I always walk alone, and tend to walk in the same areas, so it is sometimes hard to measure my increasing fitness. I think it is important to take note when we can though! :smile:

  • Thanks very much, both of you. That all makes sense. I will up my calories a little and see if that helps.

  • Thanks everyone. I am just going to chalk this one down to experience and have a loooong walk tomorrow!! At least I really enjoyed the meal, and it was brilliantly cooked. It would be terrible to 'spend' all those calories on food you didn't really enjoy!

  • AnnyaSB, I have found a nearby Nordic walking class and am going for a taster session tomorrow. How do record your exercise on MFP as when I looked it up it isn't included in their list of exercises?

  • I have been going on walking in the rain, unless it's torrential. Well if I didn't I would never get out!! :laugh: I feel tempted, but a bit nervous of the Nordic walking as I am afraid I won't be able to keep up.

    in what foods dont have protein in? Comment by cugglybear June 2012
  • A protein question is exactly the one I came on to ask. I hope it doesn't cause an argument. I joined MFP a week ago and have been getting on ok except I am finding it hard to stay within the protein level suggested. I am over by between 3 and 6 per day.
