    in what helps you workout when your really not feeling it? Comment by W0zzie August 2012
  • Kinect is my primary workout trainer. When I first started on the weight loss & fitness turnaround - every program/game handed my behind to me and yes "especially" KA Reflex Ridge. But keep at it and you definitely can turn that around. These days the only time RR really belts me around a bit is if I do the advanced non…

  • I've been pretty much maintaining for around 9 months or more. MFP maintenance cals is 1930 but I keep my goal on 1/2lb loss p week since I'm a bit naughty on weekends LOL So it generally works though I sometimes unintentionally lose. At that goal cals is 1680. HT: 173cm / 5'8'' WT 68 +/- 1kg (around 150lb) Daily =…

  • If you have been detaching then at 6 months of 2 sessions a week I reckon it's unlikely to be the battery. If you have been detaching & a simple wash doesn't seem to help then try this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/322302-is-your-polar-wearlink-strap-giving-you-grief?hl=wearlink+grief%23posts-5535052 Basically…

  • Mid evening for me. 1. I'm not a morning person 2. It's the exception rather than the rule but if I've had a bad day - great way to vent some angst 3. Sleep better (provided you have a good 2-3hrs between workout & sleep The world & MFP is full of different people :) Whatever gets you going is the clear winner!
    in Working out morning, noon or night? Comment by W0zzie May 2012
  • Polar FT7 & FT4 are very popular with MFPs. I bought a FT7 over a year ago and in no way regret it. I feel it is as accurate as you will get with HRMs, though it has the occasional bad session where you just know something is not quite right - but 95% of time spot on or as close to. The main thing with them is to take care…

  • I've been maintaining for around 8-9 months & I can't see me stopping altogether any time soon. I'm more rough & ready with logging these days as I have a "feeling" for my averages but if I don't log reasonably say 4 or 5 days out of 7 it doesn't take long to lose the accountability to keep things in check. If you like &…
    in When are you going to stop logging? Comment by W0zzie May 2012
  • @GasMasterFlas - LOL I'm possibly just weird but treats and "not" depriving myself of treats is 1 of the reasons; probably one of the main reasons, MFP has been a success for me. You don't have to deprive yourself of all treats if you work them into an overall balanced intake. If I tried to just go super clean eating, no…

    in So you think you're too tired to workout? Comment by W0zzie April 2012
  • Kinect was my primary form of workout to get to goal and still is in maintenance. I have mostly used Sports (target practice, soccer, tabletennis, volleyball & boxing are all good to great burners), BLUW (for focused training), Fighters Uncaged (not a great game but nuclear burner) & Adventures (reflex ridge can be a…
    in Is Kinect on XBOX a good idea for exercise Comment by W0zzie April 2012
  • I think the causes and effects are so wide & varied it might be very hit & miss to draw conclusions from other's experiences. However having said that, I have a sway back & suffer from chronic mild to moderate pain with occasional bouts of severe & rare very severe completely put me out of action type stuff. Doing cardio…
    in Exercise with back pain Comment by W0zzie April 2012
  • My success could predominantly be attributed to L&E, MFP & XBox Kinect plus I cut out a "lot" of alcohol. To be honest though L&E for us is just as much about convenience as anything. We live in a nuthouse with 2 on night-shift, 1 uni & me on days so meals are just a pain in the traditional sense. Having said that the…

  • If your not doing it regularly - Yoga hurts a bit... Pilates hurts a lot LOL I see (personal view of it) Pilates as closest you'll get to strength training without weights or a gym.

  • I love & appreciate MFP & I give credit to them both in my profile & on many occasions on the forums & real life referrals. Having said that - Ditto to susannamarie & zoedallas PS - not that I've used it but as far as I know they do already have synch features with FitBit ?

    in Does it matter what time of day you eaat? Comment by W0zzie March 2012
  • As with many of us that was my excuse too just over 12months ago but if you really want it you will find a way and for me it ended up being a no-brainer. I exercise - I get energized - more energy - more time for me. So the 45-60mins exercise I now do per day has paid dividends in at least that for the extra energy it…
