I wear the non-padded cycling shorts - done wonders for me as I have the same problem.

I have given myself a 21 day challenge of walking 5 miles per day. I do 1.5 miles on treadmill before work, then the round trip to work is a further 1.5 miles, meaning I only need to walk 2 miles after I have got home. Currently on day 10 and successful so far, 50 miles in.

Scrubs up well for a dude!

The obvious one is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor from Rocky, but the song from a later Rocky (3 or 4) also by Survivor I find much better - Burning Heart. This is probably my number 1 work out song. If you've never heard it put it on YouTube first and see Rocky working it in Russia ;-)

Anyone know?

Roughly for most people a 1 mile walk equates to around 120 calories. Is there a way you could pick a point half a mile away from your home, and walk there and back everyday? Or do 1 mile on a treadmill extra per day (it doesn't take long). At least then you could still have your dessert because you have already burned 120…

Hello and welcome newbie :-) I am only 16 days into MFP having started on a Saturday. I told myself I would weigh only of a Saturday morning, and definitely then only. It got to Wednesday however, and I was an eager beaver. I just had to try. I had lost 5lbs in 4 days. Over the moon would be an understatement. I then went…

I personally don't think it is that important. If I were going from Level 4, Very Active to doing nothing at the weekends then that would be important. But I am currently down at Level 2, slightly active for my work. At weekends though I'm not as active as I am whilst at work. During this couple of months it is a slightly…

Any ideas please?

Haha thanks very much Lizzie!

Thanks very much for your comments. After hitting the scales this morning I am well ahead of schedule, so obviously I'm very happy!

Well I have to say I'm shocked! I've been waiting for today to come around as I was desperate to see how the scales would treat me 1 week on from me starting using MFP. And all I can say is I'm shocked! 1 week ago today I weighed 176lbs, but today....... 167.6lbs!I know people say that the first week is usually the best by…

Hi Judi, you are in the same boat as me. I've been here since Saturday and hoping to lose 22lbs. Got excited already tonight as Saturday morning I weighed 176lbs, but just got on scales and i'm now 171.6!! I'm not going to record it though as I want to see the result from next Saturday and only actually record it once per…

Well my weekly target is set at 1.5lb's per week, but I would be more than happy with 1lb per week loss. Obviously though the sooner the better. Over the 2/3 days I have done it so far my goal is 1,610 calories, and i'm about 200 cals short of this after my daily intake of everything. We do have a takeaway on a Saturday…
