Sent off a handful of request. Happy to receive any I have missed 8o ;)

I got something similar from my mother-in-law. She was terribly upset not to be able to feed me cake and biscuits and .. and. ... and ... She stopped saying anything when I told her straight up that I was not eating "CRAP" anymore. You have to be cruel to be kind.

Never had an issue with mine. I wash in the shower with water after each use. A couple of times I got soap on it, bit made sure I washed that off fully. I dry it with a towel and (when home) place on top of my computer (the exhaust air dries it completely :) I also wet the contacts (normally lick my finger :o) before use.

I'm OUT !

I like Brooks as they are a wider fit that most shoes (Nike are very thin).

When you plateau it is time to change the workout (and look closer at what you eat). How long do you have on the 30 day program? With eating what are your goals. It cannot see your diary, but would expect if you are gaining (or not loosing) weight you must be eating all your calories. Check out the "Goals" link under MY…

I was a big binge eater. If I opened it I finished it, thank god there are no super sized meals over here. It takes hard work. Three months to kick any habit according to the experts. I use to avoid meals and then when I got home eat all night until I went to bed. Just so bad. What I am currently doing is having 6 smaller…

Change the way you exercise on it. I have three types of workouts on the elliptical. 1) Going at a constant level for however long (normally 30 - 45 min) ... yes gets boring. 2) Interval training, Warm up to 1 min then go really fast for 20 seconds, then slow down for 10 seconds. Repeat the 20 seconds / 10 seconds for 10…

Done both. If I do not eat my calories back I get bad cravings over the next few days, I end up eating and that adds weight. If I eat back calories and stay "close" to my net daily calories weight has come off (assuming you are on a weight loss setting). Even at half a pound a week the weight loss has you at a deficit of…

The amount of calories you burn asleep is only slightly less than when you are awake. NOT eating as you say you make a point of doing is probably what has saved you from gaining weight. Unfortunately sleep REM cycles are really useful. I am not sure about weight loss, but are needed for recovery if you are hitting the gym…

Should have read your bio first ;) If you are trying to loose pounds then more cardio, less eating. If you are trying to build then you need to do the right exercises for the parts you are trying to build and eat more and cardio less. Too much cardio will simply eat away any muscle gains you get from squats etc.

What are you trying to achieve. Both your but and legs looks tiny !! If you want them bigger (not fatter) then it comes down to how you exercise them. That is what I am doing now (trying to build muscle). It comes at a price though, I have strict instructions not to do too much cardio. I get three 20 minute cardio sessions…

Great work Gigi. City to Surf is a fantastic effort, what was your time?

Sent you a request :)

nuts

Every little bit is awesome, Great Job. Keep at it, and before long you will be saying 10Kg !!

Unfortunately if he does not want help forcing anything on him will not work or make it worse. Without knowing him (or you) it is hard to tell what will motivate him. Maybe a Wii Fit could get him moving or one of those MS Kinetics (my some comes out of **** Smith dripping after playing their demo program. My only…

I tend to find if I keep working out during a cold I get over it quicker (going against every bit of advice not to). This works for me with a head cold (viral), however when I get a bacterial cold (i.e. anything not clear coming out of me) then I just have to rest. Sounds like you have the latter. Rest & Fluids. Remember…

Found it fairly accurate with calories. If you are still trying to loose weight while weights training try to com in just under you net calories (calories + exercise calories - food = green number). The only thing I would recommend is eat more protein foods and less carbohydrates.

coming to the end the 2nd week of a 12 week program .... Mon: Resistance Upper Tue: Cardio Wed: Cardio Thu: Resistance Lower Fri: Resistance Upper Sat / Sun: one rest day one Cardio Then the next week swap upper and lower. For Cardio I do a levels based workout L10 = can do no more, L1 = can do all day. So a cardio workout…

I tried the Fat Blaster (or was it burner) products. Came as a double pack (I thought it was two for the price of one) which turned out to be two different types of drugs, one fat burning (probably caffeen) and the other a fat retention inhibitor (i.e. you don't absorb the fat so it goes straight through you) Did nothing !…

Forgot to say, working longer than 20 min will start to burn muscle and not fat. That is the reason to stop.

I see a lot older ladies in my gym, surprised they do not come in on walkers !!. My mum still goes and she is well into her eighties (or so it is rumored). Even at my age (45) and male I find it hard to keep up with some die-hards in the gym and I do love to thrash myself. The good new is this. You just do not need to go…

And I thought Minge was where you wore a merkin !! English must be the worst language ;) The internet is not much better. I always thought FTW was F&*K The Wench until it was explained to me.

Starting on a strength / cardio routines tomorrow at the gym. a 12 week program to build muscle. The more muscle you want to build the less cardio you need to do. The fitted / more ripped you want to be requires a combination. What the BIG emphasis is on is not to overdo cardio. I have strict instructions to do no more…

Dam, I paid $100 for my PT4 (a basic model that does not calculate how fast you are going, like I would show any speed on a stationary bike !!! ). If you can ignore the beep when you are not working out hard enough it could measure your calories all day. Love it, makes the calories on MFP look low. Most (if not all) will…

All exercise is good, and there is never a better time to do any type. You may want to be assessed before doing strength training (one session with a Personal Trainer) as it is a combination of how much weight you can lift WHILE doing it with GOOF form. You need someone who knows what they are doing to watch you to make…

Failure you are not !!. Try looking longer term. I use the grahps here (and excel graphs) to show my weight / etc. movement over time. What I see if I look too closely (daily values) my weight goes up and down. Over longer periods (monthly) my weight drops (if I am being good). In monitoring weight I only look at the last…
