I think the miles it clocks up are pretty accurate, in fact they are slightly lower than my speedometer that I have fitted but I am a bit concerned about the calories even though they are lower than mfp are telling me

I try to keep busy to take my mind off it and drink plenty of water, I find that if I do 10 minutes on the exercise bike when I start to feel peckish I very often lose the urge to eat and even if I do eat at least the exercise has offset it a little

I have been diagnosed type 2 diabetic but more importantly I really want to look good in my mankini

I think there is a bit of truth there to be honest, it is difficult coming to terms with eating more than I feel I need to lose weight but there are days when I have to eat close to 5000 cals and that is hard work sometimes, cheers all for the tips though ;)

I am by no means trying to starve myself but unless I want to…

I always try to underestimate my exercise calories on here as they seemed a bit high to me, I have a odometer fitted to the bike which I know is very accurate and I always average between 12 and 15 mph but I only book in the 12 to 14 mph ride and I only add the minutes based on how far I have travelled and not how long I…

I quit smoking on the first of April 2012 after being diagnosed type 2 diabetic by using Champix, took them for the full 12 weeks and it seemed to take the edge off a little but after best part of 30 years smoking I still crave them a bit. Whenever I start getting the urge to smoke now I try to do something to keep my mind…
