Most people say you should eat them back, but I generally don't. I like to track my exercise via HRM and endomondo. The problem is how accurate are the calories burned? If I take the dog for a walk, I walk quite fast and can do 3 Miles in around 50 mins. Endomondo says (no HRM) I have expended around 450 cals, with the HRM…

I have one every morning Monday to Friday after the gym. I know i shouldnt but i kind of have it for breakfast. The one i have is Chocolate Peanut Butter Flavour :-) Its got about 45g of protein and i dont feel hungry till lunch time if i have that!

Love you!!! How do I log gardening? Dont bother.... Woo hoo! Earned an extra 300 cals by doing light cleaning today!! I have never eaten back my calories. He'll, I walk up and down 4 flights if stairs at least 10 times a day at work, should i log it? No.... I keep an eye on my cals burned on my hrm only to make sure I'm…

I can back this up with experience! Have you ever been sore and a couple of days later your peeing like a water fountain but you haven't drank much? :-)

I'm gonna stir things up a bit here... Basically I don't eat them back. I work out every morning, don't log it and stick to my calorie goal. If I'm hungry, I'll eat, if I'm not, I won't. I always have a protien shake after my workout though, it's about 145 calories or so. I've been losing about 2 pounds a week so far. Some…

Its the old pound of feather and pound of lead debate! A Pound of feathers would be a big bag! Where as a pound of lead, you could probably put in your pocket. I also hate "I Gained a pound this week!!" Answer "you probably gained muscle" I doubt it, you more likley retained some water in you muscles due to a different…

Try going out for a walk, maybe stick a jog in there. Better than doing nothing :-)

Done the gym one, now the 30ds 1. Oh no! Not squat shoulder press!!!!!! 2. I'm pushing it out!!! 3. Stop saying ladies!! I'm a guy!!! 4. Why do I always start to phone it in When she says "don't phone this in"!! 5. Jill, please do jump rope more while the camera is on you, it helps me get through :-) 6. I can't balance…

1. Just one more minute 2. Damn, I farted while doing the leg press! 3. I wish that guy would let go of the f*ing treadmil!!!! 4. 60 kg on the pull down?!? Is my instructor crazy?!? 5. Just one more minute..., 6. Would you please stop admiring the view and get off the chest press!!! This ain't starbucks! 7. LET GO OF THE…

For me - level 1 290 level 2 330 I had to stop on Monday though, hurt my ankle doing it! Woke up in the morning and it was round!! Can just about manage gym with it, but the thought of jumping jacks, high knees and skipping rope makes it hurt!!

Its a pregnant post.

Only if your doing it wrong! I can drench the machine in a 5 min session on there. I do the treadmill before though.

I'm quite self conscious and dry myself in the shower cubicle and stick a t shirt on plus some boxers. there is a guy that goes to our gym who is about 200 pounds heavier than me. I was once in the changing room and I sat on the bench and he was across from me getting un dressed. I bent down while sitting to do my laces,…

Me too! Just wish i could change the tone, it really grates on me! Would like a count down or a ready set go lol

Laat week I lost nothing. Excersise every day Under my goal every day Did not eat back cals. But this week I did the same as last week and I lost 4 pounds :-)

Try high knees :-) even more cals!!

I'm a guy doing it! Any others? Level 1.....DONE!! 4 pound Lost this week in week one! Level 2 started today. Love to hate planks! Pretty much most of level 2. I realised after doing level 1 barefoot on carpet, I need to wear trainers on level 2 otherwise you end up face planting the floorr when your feet slide away while…

The F word helps me:laugh:

Oh! And try having lemon or lime slices in hot water! Apparently helps weight loss and helps with muscle water retention :-)

I've seen this and it was interesting! Dont understand the soup one though. Surely a glass of water after a meal would do the same thing?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ I don't know that Psychology Today could be considered a "bizarre ...website". Granted, it's more like the "Good Housekeeping" version of the profession, but hardly out of the mainstream. Fitness and health sells. And popular…

Your kidding right??! I joked to myself about that only yesterday after finishing level 1! "I wonder i can do jumoing jacks with my dumbells?"

If this was in a book, i would probably believe it 100 times more than i do reading it on some bizzare psychology website. I hate all these conflicting theories!!!!!!!! Do weights, not cardio!! Do Cardio, no weights!!!! Eat more!! Eat less!! Shut up!! F**k off!! :bigsmile:

To be honest, I wouldnt log it. I dont log cleaning, mowing grass, gardening or anything like that. Hell, i dont normally log the gym! I take em as bonus calories burned and stick to my daily limit. Its working for me!

Do you log it? :laugh:

Or try peanut butter and marmite :noway:

Im guessing by using the word "oatmeal" your from the states. For my breakfast I have: 30g of Porridge oats "oatmeal" A 0% fat toffee flavour yoghurt (muller light here in the UK) normally about 190g and 15g of peanut butter (no added sugar) Mix this together so the peanut butter disolves into the mix. Its really really…

I do it on the stationary bike and from what ive read: Beginner Level 5 min warm up low intensity 30 seconds balls out as hard as "you" can go (i do level 7 on the bike, my legs are spinning!) 1 min 30 seconds low intensity - I go down to level 3 or 4 and just pedal so i can catch my breath 30 seconds balls out etc etc etc…

Sounds like you wanna buy it off iTunes to me!

Sleep sleep sleep! I love that pain, shows that what im doing is working :-)
