well done - a great read

I never intended my reply to come across as a competition about who worked the longest hours. All I wanted to say was no matter how long the working day there are plenty of options with regards to eating healthy through out the day. oJoyGasmic - I see you live in Birmingham, I know B'Ham very well I'm there a lot. What…

10 hrs is not a "long" day at work and there are plenty of options for healthy food whilst at work. I drive for a living and sometimes work a 15 hr shift starting at 3am. I still manage to eat healthy and stay within in my 1200 calorie allowance as well as take the dog for a walk when I get home which counts towards my…

Well done, Ive been really enjoying my running latley too. You got some good times there :) :happy: :happy: :happy:

Hello and welcome along :-)

You should try using the same set of scales for every weigh in. Using different scales is not recommended as they can be calibrated differently.

You should burn more calories and get fitter quicker by running outside as you have to take into account the differences in terrain i.e.. gravel, grass, concrete, tarmac etc. You also have continuous differences in gradient. Most people will say treadmill running is a lot easier but a lot more boring as the scenery doesn't…

Hello and welcome. Your in the right place. Lots of ppl from the UK on here too. Paul (Coventry)

Ive just ate a nice fish lunch. 120g cod fillet grilled to perfection. With a mixed salad. Lovely. Less than 200 cals too.

Good afternoon (16:18 UK Time)

Well done - Get yourself a ticker to show you your progress every time you post...... :happy:

Wow you've done really well in a short space of time. Well Done :wink:

If you go into your setting you can change the titles of of your food diary. They don't have to be called breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. My working day starts at 03:00 so I've broken my diary into times, i.e.. 02:00 - 05:00, 05:00 - 10:00. This works for me. Hope that helps

Not sure what exercise to recommend in terms of working your arms but you defiantly need to make sure you up your calories to a minimum of 1200 a day and no less. Eating less will be undoing any work you put in . :wink:

What are you guys entering for an avg pancake made with semi skimed milk. No toppings just a plain pancake. (100grams made up). Does about 150 cals sound about right

Looking Great - Well done Looks like you like a good party :-)

I like bouncing. To pass time whilst running i like to play "Guess the size" as an oncoming jogger goes by :tongue: :tongue:

Good luck matey, your definitely in the right place. Keep us posted on your progress. Also, are you in the UK?

You definitely look like you've lost weight and you look so much happier in your Stockholm picture. Well done so far and good luck for the future.

Well done - great work. You look great and are an inspiration to us all. :happy: :happy:

Yeah i'm looking at the FT4 or the FT7. Have you ordered from a UK site? There seems to be quite a differnece in prices on differnet sites.

Talking about heart rate monitors would anyone recommend using a strapless HRM. I've been looking at a few on the net but are they as accurate?

RTFM - made me chuckle :)

Bump

Enjoyed reading that Ben, you seem so motivated and never come across negative in any way. I'm sure to your close friends your an inspiration and a great guy to have around being so positive. Just a quick question as I'm nosey, did you meet the special person you refer to in your post on MFP?. :smile:

All done - would be great to see some stats on the results

HI, Loads of UK / English people on here. Welcome

I never expected to become so aware of whats in the food i'm eating. And i never expected to loose weight off my wedding ring finger .... lol my ring slides about all over the place..... :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Ben i'll get on the flight with you. I'm sick of this UK wether too. Not too keen on a whisky or cigars but i'd be happy with a decent sound system, a crate of premium lager and some lovely ladies dancing the night aeway....... lol
