Lots of info here, might be of some use :) http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/how-to-deal-with-common-cycling-ailments-27605/

Awesome idea, I'm in! 2/8 55mins cycling 3/8 170mins cycling 4/8 93mins cycling 5/8 102mins cycling 6/8 Busy day at work, not home till late, no cycling today, any old excuse lol 7/8 51mins cycling 8/8 94mins cycling 9/8 196mins cycling 10/8 60mins exercise bike /yawn! 11/8 Let's call it a 'rest day' :) 12/08 60mins…

6 miles is just easier to count up to for the average American, going all the way up to 10 is a bit of a challenge :bigsmile:

One, or both of them are incorrect :wink:

Totally agree, well said.

Epic, sticky please

As it's Friday night and I've been good for a couple of weeks I've just had a few sweet and sour chicken balls and half an egg foo yung as a treat. Hope I don't feel rough from it tmrw 'cos I'm really looking forward to chowing down on the rest of it to celebrate it being Saturday! No idea on the calorific value so it's…

Couldn't agree more. This needs to be a sticky

That's exactly my point - you can log as accurately as you want but you're always going to have to check progress and make adjustments. Just find it odd how people can get so focused on the numbers and *having* to stick to say 1500 - suck it and see for a month, then like you say make adjustments, guidelines are good but…

This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction :tongue:

It all just became clear to me! None of this 'discussion' really has much point. TDEE is an estimate (purely obtained from height/age/activity level) Calories burnt from exercise is an estimate (whether it's your fitbit, your exercise equipment or a website saying you burnt x calories doing y for z minutes) Calories…

Just as an aside, it's kilocalories, not calories if we're getting scientificalogicly correct about everything. So we're all wrong and stoopid.

Grats on making some changes, don't see why you needed to spend $300 on books though when you knew the problem and the solution :wink:

BMI is an evil lie developed to try to scare people into 'losing weight'. If I was any kind of conspiracy theorist I'd say it was a cynical marketing ploy developed jointly by the diet industry (to make more money) and the NHS (to save more money from not treating 'obese people'). I'm by no means an expert but any index…

Get a bike and start with cycling instead: If anyone does look at you, you're travelling faster and out of view quicker! Plus you get the added benefit of being sitting down most of the time :smile: I used to be a little bit fearful of going out and about, then after being overtaken a few times by guys in all the gear on…

Props to you for the willpower. Put a burger in front of me and it's gone. All of it. :laugh:

It's good that you're logging what you eat, but some of it looks too good to be true! McDouble burger: 127 calories, 11g carbs, 6g fat, 7g protein, 2g sugar, 49.66g serving is one of your entries - McD's website lists this as being 380 calories, 22g protein, 34g carbs, 17g fat, 22g protein, 7g sugar, 147g serving. Not…

I don't think you need help to regain a healthier you - you've done it before so you know you can do it again. Crack on :wink: Something obviously goes wrong though for it all to keep coming back?

Exercising at night is ridiculous. It's dark and you bump into stuff :sad:

Thanks for the reply :) The fat/protein issue will be getting a lot better in the coming days, gonna be a lot more chicken and kidney beans making appearances! Chicken will also help greatly with my general fitness as I got to move fast to get there before the cat does :grumble:

Frozen Weight Watchers and Asda reduced calorie ready meals all the way here! 3 of those a day and I'm sorted. Some might argue that they're not incredibly balanced or packed with nutrition, but they're healthier than what I was eating before and that's good enough for me :)
