Go to the gym for a while and run on a threadmill, no thinking necessary there. Start slowly say 8.5k/h and then each week increase this with speed and distance. Once comfortable move outside and you find you run a lot faster outside.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate If you have the time, my previous comments were I bit simplistic... :-) On the other hand it is not something to worry about as long as you way yourself the same time, may that be once a day, once a week or once a month or whatever works for you, the trick us to have the…

Pretty well most answers are wrong, some maybe only 90%. We all have a BMR=Basic Metabolic Rate, mine 1836calories. This means the amount of calories you burn doing nothing at all, which for me is 76.5 calories per hour. So over 8 hours I would burn up 612 calories, which for most people (not me) is more then their daily…

Wow this is a difficult one. If it was me then I would go for tough love and lay it all out. However instead of confronting him I would write it all down, leave it for him and go away for a weekend which gives him time to think about it. In it I would say how much you love him but that you can not stand by and let him…

I kind of do that, when I have friends over or see friends. Generally Saturday and Sunday we share a bottle of wine. However I would still exercise and am very careful during the day. However most weekends I gain 2 kg, which I will loses again during the week and then some ( generally 1/2 a kilo). I am happy to trade that…

I do not want to look like those guys on the packs of Max's, need to rethink this You don't have to use their products to participate no?

Week before TOTAL STEPS 106,282 DAILY AVERAGE 15,183 steps BEST DAY. 24,109 steps Total for first 2 weeks July 216,667

Got this from Fitbit TOTAL STEPS Last WEEk 110,385 DAILY AVERAGE. 15,769 steps BEST DAY. 27,000 steps

Maybe at the end of this challenge we could up the number as I pretty well am over 10000 strips every day I did not join, but 1.5 or 2 million would certainly one I join or better make them monthly as it would be easier for people to jump in or out. Not really trying to be negative here as I think if is fantastic fir…

I do that all the time. In my eyes not a problem, obviously it depends on how much you are over as on those type of days weighing food and marking everything down often goes out the window. I learned how my body worked my weighing myself when i was naked 3 times a day. First thing in the morning After gym Just before bed…

I know what I am going to say a lot of people will not agree with, however I found that I had the best success when I knew what was happening with my body and how food and exercise influence it. So I weighed myself 3 times a day. 1) First thing in the morning 2) After exercise 3) Before going to bed. Those 3 times i was…

I reckon if I can do it at age 58, anyone can :-)

I Europe you get evicted if you wear ANYTHING, you just need a towel to sit on, why i the US and Australia always so sensitive about these things.

Sorry all for I went missing in action. Blame it on my holiday in between which was usual weird for me as I kept losing while I was away. Then when i started exercising the weight started to come back on. At the same time suddenly an insane amount of people told me how good I looked, this then combined with a lot of social…

Happy to see you all doing well. My downward trend has come to a halt and there are a few reasons for this. I also did not post last week, 1) My body when I stop exercising keeps losing weight, which happened when I went on holidays but then when I get back it puts on weight. I think it has to do with losing muscle and…

Hi All, Back from a great holiday, relaxing, exciting and we did see lots. Spend 3 days on a island with 1 other couple who were on the other side of the island, we had a bungalow over the ocean where we could go swimming and snorkeling from our door. Then spend a few days in a beautif resort, where we celebrated Helens…

Time flies when you are having fun!!! :-) Busy time at the moment as it grading time at the soccer club and I am heavily involved, besides my daily gym, I now play twice tennis, twice soccer, golf this week but I guess I am loving it. Better still next Friday I am off for 10 days to Lombok, booked a bungalow over the water…

Hi All, Obviously I am very exstatic this morning as I now have seriously broken down that horrible wall with stopped me twice before, I also reached my original goal of being under 85kg, but I already reset that some time ago to be under 80kg. I survived the weekend and actually lost weight over the weekend, however I had…

Thanks Skim and thanks for the nice message earlier on. I guess I don't find it that hard as a lot of gym work is cardio (do weights 3/4 days a week as well) and get 10,000 steps there alone. Then the rest of the day I do easy 4-5000. Then if I play tennis golf or soccer my count goes up even higher. Yesterday was indeed…

I have had a fantastic week. After 7 months of trying I finally got to my lowest weight yet and confident it will go lower. I smashed my PB for the 5km by over 4 minutes to 29.33. I am trying to run the marathon in June although the chance has gone up I still only rate it 15% as I have troublesome calves (and to a lesser…

I am aiming 20.000 steps as average, so far this month 139.005, but still playing indoor soccer tonight so I will be up by an other 5000 , so so far so good. :-)
