Thanks for that. I can get the figures from the machine tomorrow when i go back to the gym. I'll then check the results between the figures shown here on MFP and the concept site.

I'm a bit of an old lump. I know these machines are set for an average person but I'm abit outside that range. I normally do a pace average of 2:10 / 500 at a resistance of 130. Today I was feeling good so I dropped the resistance to 120 and did 15km. Averaging 2:12 / 500. I've yet to enter the time in my diary (66mins)…

Hi guys Weekend weigh-in Today 145kg Starting my third week on this plan but I suspect now that my body will be adapting and the weight loss will slow down. It's had a bit of a beasting over the last couple of weeks.

Hi My goal weight is 110kg (242lbs) - seems so far away!

Hi guys Sorry for the late entry but asa newbie I wanted to go a week on the plan before getting weighed. Todays weight is 148kg. Lost 3.8kg since last being weighed. I'll enter next weeks on Sunday morning.

I was thinking this was a 'woman' thing as I wouldn't be too bothered not to lose 'down there'. You don't get men in the changing rooms pointing at you and saying - "man, you've got a fat one there, you need to lose a pound or two fella'. But if someones researched it and there are benefits then I'll continue my diet.

Hi Another here from the UK. I've to sort out a photo of myself yet. Been here for a week, not been weighed since Christmas but will be stepping on the scales on Monday. Nice to so many of 'limeys'

I've sent you a 'friends request'.

I'll be getting weighed on Monday. This will be my first weekend on this diet and calorie count since joining the community. So many temptations are around.so this will be a test for me as previously it's been the weekends that have trip me up.

Do you have a plan in mind? For me, initially it's to count the calories - something I've not done before and get back down the gym.

Hi You daily food diary should show what's recommended for Carbs and protein. How much weight do you need to shift?
-
Hi 5 days in now, anybody else doing this? I've started looking forward to going to the gym again. Throughout the day I'm running through my mind what type of workout I'll be doing next. I hope to see some results from all this effort on Monday when I next get weighed!

How about a low fat cottage cheese - (good for the protein) taken with low calorie crackers.

In my life I've always found that the incentive to cheat and take things a bit easier when exercising is when training by myself. The advice I'd give anyone wanting to do weight training is to get a gym buddy - somebody to ensure the form / technique is good and help when the reps are getting harder to complete. This is…

I'm currently using one of these down in my local leisure centre. They're easy to use and I should think that all have a computer screen with a selection of different programmes to test you. The ones in my gym are Nautillus and sync with heart rate monitors too. Well worth the effort.

Southern England. We don't manage snow well so as nice as it looks this country comes to a halt when it's here. I feel for you up in Scotland, you have some serious weather issues up there :smile:
-
Hi I'm new around here. I'd like to join in if possible! One of my weaknesses is that there are 1001 reasons not to go to the gym and I reckon I've used over 900 of them.:smile: "I know I should go to the gym but the car park is full, I forgot my shower gel etc". If I can crack this challenge then perhaps I'll be able to…

For me, this time round I'll be tracking calories and exercise. Prevoiusly I've 'thought' that I was doing ok with the calories, but the physical evidence (my size) has shown differently. Just starting out so no weight loss to show yet.

Another one here: Start weight 151kg (332lbs) Aim to lose 1kg a week - might this be a bit optimistic? Counting the calories and getting back to the gym

Thanks There sure is a whole load of info to look through on this site. It's interesting to read through the success stories and other blogs.
