I bought a Polar 4 off ebay for £20. It has totally changed how I exercise- MFP way overestimates the calorie burn and even the machines at the gym were higher than my HRM. Today I worked out with the wii and worked out accurate calories-slightly different to wii calculations.

joy of joys-mfp just put me at 199 for five weeks time :-) (maybe just maybe)

Not posted before but have been lurking :-) I started on April 18th at 246.5, went up and down till July 25th when I pulled it together at 241.5. I refound MFP , joined a gym and weighed in at my local Slimming World. I'm down to 215 right now and onderland is in my sights for Xmas :-) It's kinda hard right now as the…

I bought a crosstrainer from ebay for £15 and got an exercise bike from freecycle for free. Why don't you try those first and see which one you like most/fits in better at home?

I thought that by law you had to be advised if your telephone conversation was being recorded for any purpose???? I followed the Casey Anthony case and one of the witnesses recorded a conversation (Joe Jordan if I remember correctly) and had to negotiate with the Feds because he did it secretly.

Little oops but feeling strong about getting back on the wagon-I will get there!

For me I felt MFP was overestimating so went on the calories burned on the machines, after 8 weeks on this journey I bought a second hand Polar 4 on ebay for £20. This has proved that the machines aren't accurate either, on Saturday the machines estimated my 2 hour workout at over 1000 calories and my HRM at 800ish. I go…

I think you're in the UK?? I got my measuring cups from Poundland-they are bright orange but have all the measuring things from a teaspoon to a US cup measure.

I'm happy to chat-friend me if you like :-) I'm 26lbs down in a 100 lb journey

aaargh, wish I'd seen this before! I have literally just this second bought a second hand polar one from ebay!

I was over 2000 calories over my allowance yesterday! It was my son's birthday so I have a big deficit to work through this week!

oh well, not available in the uk!

Never heard of netflix! Going off to google now!

I posted this same question a couple of days ago! I've changed my trainers to some New Balance walking ones and today was better-my feet weren't desperately painful until after the first hour, someone did suggest I wear fitflops on the elliptical to see if that made a difference as they are toning shoes-I'm tempted but I…

I weigh on a Wednesday and on that day I eat all my exercise calories from the day before, keeps me in control and on plan,

I'd like to take part please :-)

I find this too with the Life Fitness machines at my gym. I now enter my weight and use the calories burned that the machines show not the ones on MFP. MFP doesn't know if in my 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer I have gone at level 1 or level 10 and it doesn't know the speed I have worked at. It only offers me a flat…

Chantel, I'm exhausted just reading your schedule and very much ashamed of my earlier whinging to hubby. My three babies are now 20.22 and 23 but are all currently at home this week. It's like having 3 6 foot tall puppies bouncing around the house with all their possessions in boxes and them leaving dishes everywhere. I…

Thanks for that-seems to be better to do a shorter workout twice rather than a long one.

I don't unless it is a big clean day!

I dream of 'onederland'. Congratulations on your loss! Any pics?

Hi there, I went to the site but I can't see which month the Zumba entry is in???

to wear some clothes my adult sons say I'm too old for rather than too fat for :-)

I've weighed in at slimming world tonight so I have eaten all my calories and all my exercise calories today. Most days I don't eat them back. However, if I felt weak or hungry I would do so.

You are not-in my opinion the inventor of Tena should be knighted :-)

877 calories in total at the gym 3 x 15 minutes on the cross trainer and 3 x 15 minutes on the treadmill at incline 3.0 at 5.2 speed and 25 lateral pulldowns at 14kgs

zebra when on a weekend away with a boyfriend-I was talked into it-very tough meat! (Binned the boyfriend soon after)

My son has been out in the USA in Maine doing Camp America and is currently in a downtown youth hostel New York due to fly home to the UK on Wednesday. I'm worried!

have sent you a pm-thoughts are with you

just getting in the habit of logging will make a difference! and think of your later long weekend in the south west of England to look forward to :-)
