Happy belated birthday :drinker:

Rollerblading, and skiing, are definately the most fun way to exercise, next to dancing :) and burns heaps, of calories. Always, wanted to learn skateboarding/snowboarding, and think I might give it my next challenge, in 2015 :)

I'm not menopausal as yet, according to my gp... but, I've become less tolerant to certain foods, which I'm working on. Have got just as much energy, as someone twenty years younger than me, though. I've always been energetic, so that's what keeps me young, in my book. Work hard, play hard, and remember to take care of no…

www.fitnessfrog.com will explain simple terms

A nice 4hour hike burned 1035 kcal, today. And, I finished the week with 8633 kcal in total. I'm ready for next week :) * victory dance*

So far, I've burned 7598 kcal this week. Tomorrow, is Easter Sunday, and I'm planning a hike :)

Thanks :drinker:

To check your TDEE, use the simple calculators on www.fitnessfrog.com

Great, I found this old post, and I've been burning over 7000 kcal a week. Since I realized I burn a fair amount, I set myself the challenge two weeks ago. In my 2nd week, I've altered between lifting, walking/hiking, stationary bike (which gives correct kcal count) and cobrafit/pilates class. I might try a ballet class,…

Happy Easter!

8 glasses of water is 2lt. According to your weight, that's average. If, you drink caffeine, you need more. I had a health examination last week, where they measure your bodyfat, bonemass etc. I wasn't hydrated enough, and was told to drink more. If, I did I'll be house bound, as I have to rely on public toilets when out…

MFP will ask you to re adjust your settings. Sounds like this has been ignored, or maybe you weren't asked. If you think it's been going a bit fast, and you need to slow down on your weight loss, you can adjust your settings manually. I've just reduced my daily kcal to 1500- 1600 and it's going a bit fast, so it's only a…

I've just joined cobrafit, and am looking to share with other cobrafit fans. Preferably, UK.

Even your eyebrows have shaped up!

I guessed you'd be about my height, and I'm 5'7''

Never drink warm water from a tap. It has to be boiled first!

It's the only way I drink water. If it doesn't have lemon in it, I won't drink it. I used to drink a pint of warm water first thing, with lemon, and it cleared up my 'stressed' liver. I'd totally forgotten about that.

Hi. Noticed you're same age, and I'm fully aware of age related ailments that strike without warning. So, I try to keep myself busy every day, despite the 'frozen' shoulder. I've learned to use other muscles to compensate, but one more month, and I'll have to agree to see a specialist. *Sigh* Regarding, your bad back I'd…

If you have a sweet tooth, it would be wise to eat a varied diet, as vitamin deficiency is usually related to certain food cravings. Vegetarians in general, would benefit from b vitamin supplements, for instance.

I need to burn 7700 kcal to loose 1kg? I'm aiming do this in 10 days.

Yep, people think I'm lying. I'll be 50, in January...not even a laughter line in sight.

You look 16

There's a group for UK, that you might want to join, but it's really quiet there...

Exactly. Rome wasn't built in a day.

www.fitnessfrog.com has easy tools to work out your TDEE etc.

I'm looking for MFP friends who go swimming, or are thinking about taking up swimming. I need some motivation, about taking the first steps etc. Also, how to track kcal burned, changes in diet etc. Thanks

Thanks. It would be nice to loose some weight as well :)

I'm aware that the scales fluctuate throughtout the day, so to check this theory, I purchased some digital scales yesterday. At 5pm, I weighed 90.2 kg. At 8am, I weighed 89.1 kg and at 5pm today, I weighed 91.1 kg That's a total of 2kg in a day. Is there anything I can I do, to stabilise the weight, or do I just take it as…

Walked for 5 hours, carrying 11kg in my backpack. Will do the same again tomorrow, but might incorporate some gardening, if weather permits.
