UK based male, 38 years old. I'm logging daily at the moment and trying to post some helpful stuff on my blog when I can. Also looking to build a network of MFP 'friends' so feel free to add me one and all.

Oops. Sorry :-| I don't mean to spam, but I was sent this by e-mail and thought someone might be genuinely interested.

You could try adding some curry paste and spinach. Make an Sag Gobi or something like that.

One word. Why?

Agree with all of the above. Keep your HRM for proper exercise, but be rewarded for any additional walking you might do during the day. I am basically desk bound between 9am and 5pm but if I am able to get out and walk a bit, then the fitbit tracks that and MFP reflects the bonus calories burned. There are two ways you can…
-
It really encouraged me to get out and walk more. I used to drive everywhere and since I've owned mine, I always walk when I can - granted it has been summer, I may not stick with this over the winter! If you use MFP, make sure you link the accounts. Log all your food on MFP (the database has way more foods) and log all…

You can act this out now and burn calories doing it. https://www.zombiesrungame.com

If you wash it down with a diet Coke

Is your partner closer to their desired weight than you? Sometimes people who don't need to lose much can't accept how difficult it is when you do.

Someone wiser than me once said, "American Football... A lot like Rugby, only slower"! :) The opening ceremony was good last night. Dramatic and thought provoking but once again brought home how amazing GB is. Professor Hawking was his usual brilliant self and who can possibly compete with the invention of (or indeed…

Try "Fotoshop by Adobe" - check out this (spoof) commercial. Very funny. Best quote: "Why eat healthy and exercise, when you can just look like you do?" http://youtu.be/S_vVUIYOmJM

If you only blew it yesterday and the rest of the week was good, you probably haven't done any lasting damage. It might just be fluid retention from too much sodium. Draw a line under it and start again for next week.
-
You have to draw a line somewhere though. No point saving calories for a whole month then blowing them in one hit. Sure, you will probably weigh less than you did at the start of the month, but the gain on the scales will damage you mentally. Probably best that you just make sure you average your intake over the interval…

Anyone that claims WW is easier than counting calories has been brainwashed. I did it for several years, even helped out at my class with clerking and weighing - meant I got it free which was nice. I stopped tracking and fell off the wagon and ended up leaving long before Propoints however so can't comment specifically on…

Yep. Swindon.

The best thing you can get is the USA that you can't get here is definitely dark chocolate M&Ms. I have found a small shop locally that imports them, but they are uber expensive. Not very diet friendly though!
-
Generally the straps are only lengths of elastic, so you could probably easily modify one. All the electronics are usually in the plastic bit. I have a Garmin FR60. A bit more expensive than some out there, but I don't really use the watch part. The strap communicates using the ANT+ protocol which I have a receiver for for…
-
Generally its not bad. Its always worth a check though when logging something for the first time and if it isn't right, update it. There are a couple of errors you will commonly find: 1) Packaging and recipes get updated regularly and sometimes you will find the nutrition slightly out. Depends how religious about logging…

/* Dons flame deflector */ Well, if everyone spoke the queens English, we would all know what was meant. :wink: :bigsmile: Hmm, except the word Doner comes from the Turkish word dondurmek meaning "rotating roast" and yes, agree that if you are at the stage of CHOOSING a Doner, you may as well right off the day and start…

Here's an article from a UK daily paper, its a bit old. Doesn't make good reading, but who cares? Doner Kebabs taste gooood. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1129309/Just-doner-kebab-contains-entire-days-calorie-allowance.html

In addition to your height, weight and activity level, it would be good to know what deficit you have chosen. I am a man (more calories straight away) 6' 1" tall and weight over 250lbs. My daily goal is 1670 calories (1000 deficit) so 2000 for you seems quite high. If you have set your activity level high, how sure are you…

Weight loss is simple. You lose weight if you eat less calories than you burn. You will burn some through breathing, heart beating, brain function etc (this is your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR) and you will burn some by walking around, lifting your phone, typing on MFP, running a marathon (these calories PLUS your BMR =…

Rode 19.1 miles today and burned a massive 1711 calories. Definitely good exercise. I'd like to get out again soon, but not sure when I will be able to.

And if he does he's a jerk or overly possessive.

In context, Nintendo are correct, it needs rewording though. They say that a body builder will have a higher BMI, true, however, find me a body builder who even cares what his BMI is. Muscle is more dense than fat and therefore a body builder may weigh lots and have a higher BMI as a result, but will likely have a low body…

I'm upping my weekly goal to the same as my Fitbit premium trainer. That's 1400 cals activity burn per day. I didn't quite make it yesterday, so I am going to up my exercise level today to compensate. Weekly Goal: 9800 Mon: 1210 calories burned by Fitbit Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned…
-
Week 1: Sounds like fun. Can I use my Fitbit activity calories (i.e. not counting my BMR) as my burn total or are we looking for discrete exercises (i.e. something I get my shorts and HRM out for)? Assuming I can use Fitbit: Weekly Goal: 7000 Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were…

Friends are important to give encouragement when we need it and to help us be accountable when we feel like giving in. Well done on your loss so far. Feel free to add me as a friend.
