When I click the link it tells me I don't have permission to do that

Yes I did, got through training and am now stationed. It's what I always wanted to do and will hopefully keep me fit rather than trying to crash diet
-
Thanks a lot, I am in the UK so will be joining one of the British constabularies, and they do have BMI requirements as well as an annual fitness test too. As well as being something I have always wanted to do since I was a kid, the nature of the job and annual fitness tests will help keep me on the health/weight straight…

haha thanks, it's been a hard 5 weeks. I am joining the Police, something I never thought I would be able to do.

Week 5 weigh in was this morning, and I managed to lose 18.8 pounds over the 5 weeks, so have hit my target prior to my medical :smiley: Thanks for all the tips, I stuck with lots of walking, cycling, jogging and some bag work, and watching my calorie intake like a hawk. Also am now 104 pounds lower than when I first…

Just an update as I have had 4 weekly weigh days since the start of the thread. I have so far last 15.4 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I have massively raised my cardio and dropped my food intake and am mixing cycling/walking/heavy bag and gym work. So far I am on track and feeling pretty good, but will not be keeping this…
-
Sadly I won't qualify next time, as they are changing the goal posts. I am going to do everything I can and keep training hard and eating less and pray.
-
Yes, I could not believe it when I heard, as they have already made us run a beep test and I passed that, but 30 is the cut off point for consideration. I am only so desperate as the timescales have been moved and are totally out of my control
-
That's a good figure to know. I finishing the day with over 1000 cals at the moment, as have cut right back on food and raised the amount of training I am doing. As you can probably tell from my progress so far, I am not one of the want it yesterday/take shortcuts types, but have 1 opportunity to fulfil a dream I have…

No I am 216 pound, down from 301. I know it is not sensible, and not sane, and have been doing everything the correct way, but I am happy to try the not very sensible and insane if it gets me to pass the medical. I will then get back on the slow and steady horse.

There was a programme on TV here in the UK within the last couple of weeks where they did some experiments and found it did help. They did find that it was not restricted to only apple cider vinegar, but all vinegars, and that acidic nature helped digestion and absorption. So if you can stand it, just down a bottle of malt…

Make home made burgers if the mince is lean. I make my own burgers and have one in a wholemeal bagel with salad. Feels like a treat as it's a burger but I know exactly what's in it
-
I don't do a lot of comments on the forums anymore but have decided to chip in. I have done it before, lost over 100 pounds, and am back here as slipped back into old habits. When you are big the weight does seem to come off in greater numbers every week, but don't be completely focused on numbers as you feel terrible if…

likewise if you want you can add me. Dropped 100+ in 2013 and had a fall off the wagon and put around half back on. Back on it again now, and am UK based.

Sorry I don't think I was being clear enough with the no Fitbit rule. I meant the Nike does not have the Android integration. I am thinking of ordering Polar Loop, anyone got one?
-
Does it have a band or is it a smartphone app like Endomondo? Thanks for replying :)

Was arrested for stealing peoples dogs, shaving them bald and using the hair to make wigs to sell to bald people.

About 25 years at a guess

The pride of Wales......Swansea City :)

It should be on the MFP database but here is a screen shot of all the nutrition if you need it
-
Just a quick bump as I am planning on making some more of this soup this week......good thing about cold weather...warm soup :)
-
I would personally avoid fitbit at all costs. Their customer support is rubbish, and I found the product to be inaccurate and if anything it stalled my weight loss by making me believe I was burning more than I actually was, and started to eat more again.

Unless you were me yesterday then Fitbit would have given you more. Exercise = minus remember. I wonder if I should mark the banging my head against the desk as an activity or allow fitbit to work it out LOL
-
The golden point being spectacularly missed again is this It shouldn't matter if I wear it selotaped to my forehead for the ride, it is entered via MFP as an activity with a start/stop time and cals so should discount that. And the biggest one..... If I went to bed after my ride. In Fitbit land I burn more than doing 11k…
-
I am set to Sedentary and then I allow fitbit to add to my daily limit. Yesterday I cycled 32 miles in the morning and monitored the whole thing with my Polar FT7 HRM. I added this to MFP. I then did 11k steps throughout the day. Including a 5k step session with my nearly 2 year old in the afternoon. At the end of the day,…
-
Right just to settle a few things. I do not use the fitbit dashboard. I enter everything through MFP with the times and durations of exercise. According to the way 'they' (over at fitbit) claims it will work, is that it will discount it's calculations during that time and allow you to add in your own exercise. It is…

I often walk behind them with a trombone

LOL I don't know as just spoke to my wife and she heard the same from her friend. We are in Wales and often here whispers about stuff being filmed locally. May use my winnings in my Ladbrokes account on it :)
