I only list the exercise roughly, as I don't eat it back anyway. Its more there incase I go over by top whack 50-100cals. Like I said, I don't really eat back the exercise cals. Its not there for me to rely on. I know each workout will vary, so theres no way of knowing exactly how much I'd burn. Again, all I can say is…

Thanks :) I really have been working hard (the classes are mixed with cardio exercises as well), as well as having an active job at the moment and living in a location that I walk a lot. So all I know is the scales showed 1.4kg...hopefully its right but who knows. My trainer said he believed it could be possible from the…

Thanks cgartebay :) Luckily I don't drink alcohol so that is something I don't have to worry about! Phew! All I drink is water - no tea, coffee, fizzy drinks. Like the British accent effort ;) I will try to lower my carbs, def. I usually have tuna, chicken, ham and eggs every day to keep the protein up. I often end up with…

He uses scales that measure your weight, hydration, fat, muscle etc. I don't know whats its called. You hold on to sensors to get the reading. All I can say is what the scales showed. 1.4 kg muscle gain, 1.2kg fat loss I didn't ask for people to judge what the scales said, I asked for advice to help me further my weight…

Calm down guys, I made a typo is all! I meant to put 1.4kg, not 4kg! My fault for writing this when I was knackered. My personal trainer measures the levels on his scales for me. My goal is for both fat loss and muscle gain. Tone as I go...

[/quote] Are you fit and healthy? Do you have any medical problems that would stop you using free weights for more of your routine? [/quote] I'm getting fitter, but no where near fit! I have crohns disease which affects my joints and energy levels a lot. I've only just been able to join the gym again, so I'm still getting…

It probably isn't - I'm not very knowledgeable about that sort of thing, so thought I'd ask. I do: 3 x 12-15 hip abductions (45) 3 x 12-15 leg press (50) 3 x 12-15 low row (40) 3 x 12-15 bench press (25) 3 x 12-15 shoulder press (20) Thats my routine each time I go to the gym. Cardio 30-50 minutes too.

I'm recording everything I have and do, I assure you! As soon as I eat/do something, I log it so I don't forget. Either way I do enough exercise on a daily basis to easily cover any small details I might have missed (oil sprays for cooking etc).

lol thats the one time I've had ww bacon :P I don't usually have it, but my OH was making dinner and put it in. I heard that marmite is actually pretty good for protein if you're needing a snack? Again, something I don't regularly have, but its yummy :P

Only a couple of lbs! I was just wanting to know for future reference :)

The water levels are more or less right, although usually its the thing I forget to update *oops* I mainly get up to the recommended amount.

Thank you both :) I'll try to up my protein and lower carbs. I still dont really understand why I've gained weight though...especially if I've under eaten, as surely that would mean I would stay the same?

Hehe this made me giggle! Glad I'm not the only one who has challenged the evil mr scale!

Pretty glad I'm friends with you!! I'd never heard of this before and it sounds awesome!! Thanks haha

This was really great to read - thank you for posting it :)

Having my second one in a few weeks time because of my crohns disease. Where I live you have to really argue with a doctor to get one!!

Feel free to add me :) looking for MFP buddies!

I'm 22 :) feel free to add me if you like - that goes out to any of you! Always love to get more MFP friends :D

This reminds me I need to make a playlist instead of being stuck on shuffle! Ones I skip to most: Any Dr Dre, Killswitch Engage, Rizzle Kicks, Daft Punk, Eminem, Pantera, Basement Jaxx, some Biffy Clyro. I like a lot of different music :) helps a lot when I'm at the gym.
