I don't report 'incidental' exercise. I classify incidental as walking to the bus, chasing kids around, walking to the playground - stuff like that, where my goal wasn't exercise. For me, bike riding for 10 minutes or so I wouldn't even get up a sweat. I wouldn't log it. Of course, if you're 300 pounds that 10 minutes of…

I use runkeeper. I just checked on google maps (I take the same route everytime, I just use runkeeper for the speed) and it was very accurate. A little different but I would assume that was more error with me trying to map the route in google maps.

What's your weekly intake like? Are you under your calorie goal on a weekly basis? Lots of people will 'save up' their calories for the weekend and it seems to work for them.

No one looks good in those photos - thighs jiggle as you run, boobs bounce, your face is red and sweaty, you have lovely underarm sweat stains. Take a photo 10 minutes after you finish your race at the finish line. You'll look heaps better.

They give nutritional info per 100g so that people can easily work out a %. Your smoothie is worth 93 calories. You have to convert it. It is a bit annoying - I use this converter: http://www.unitconversion.org/energy/kilojoules-to-calories-nutritional-conversion.html You can use the protein numbers etc straight, as long…

Hi Jess, I log daily and I also have PCOS. I'm in Brisbane and have a 7 month old. I've added you, Michelle

Funniest magpie story I have ever heard was from a guy at work. He rides his bike to work and through the park up to our office. He goes past some nesting magpies, but doesn't really worry about them as he always wears a helmet (law in Australia). Anyway, he is riding under the tree and feels the thump of the magpie…

Thanks for those tips! Not sure I'll be able to practice the open water swimming before then though. I swim during the week at the gym as they have childminding. Might just have to hope for the best. How come you aren't allowed music? I've done fun runs before and every second person had a head set on.

Add me! I'm a 28 year old mum from Brisbane (Aus) of a 6 month old boy and I love craft. At the moment I'm into making my own soap - although the last two batches have dented my pride a bit as they've turned into a disaster - that'll teach me to get cocky. I've also made some mosacis, quilted and have had a shot at glass…

There are breastfeeding options in your food section - if you search for breastfeeding, you can select depending on how many feeds per day or a basic 500cal. I just don't worry about it. When setting up my account I just put a desired loss of half a kilo a week and use those calories. I figure breastfeeding will make it go…

Hi, I'm Michelle and if you want a friend from across the globe feel free to add me. My little boy is 6 months old now. I'm within 2kg of my pre-pregnancy weight but I think most of that is in my breasts (still breastfeeding). I'd like to lose 5-7kg and then I'll reassess. What are people doing about the mummy tummy? I…

Another from Brisbane! Good luck

Hi Pam, I've got PCOS too, so I know how hard it can be too. Good luck

How do you work out how many calories to allow for breastfeeding? I just went into my food log to have a look and there's heaps of options. My baby is 6 months old, wakes three times overnight and fed 5 times during the day. During the day he isn't fed on demand, but I offer first thing in the morning, and then after each…
