  • 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.
  • 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 ;-)
  • 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…
