Great work! This will go a long way in keeping me on track. Thanks for sharing. Would like to add you as a friend....if you don't mind.

Feel free to add me...I have a long way to go too.

Hi, 40 yo 130 kg male with bad knee here. Joined MFP only yesterday. Feel free to add me as friend.

I am 40, weighed 130 Kg a fortnight ago. Joined MFP just yesterday; lost 2.5 Kg in little over two weeks.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I also feel that my calory burn count shown by Polar is bit too high. It is 30-50% higher than some brands of equipments but with some other brands (STAR TRAC esp) it is in-line. Maybe Polar doesn't consider my heart rate at rest; there is no way to enter that value and it doesn't ask. Even…

Polar Loop. It may sound ridiculous but it has helped me. If I don't workout, the activity meter will not move beyond 30%. It makes me feel real bad if I don't complete my daily goal i.e. 100% activity. I don't wear it on Sundays. On other days, I wear it while I am awake.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, at present it is easy for me to burn calories. It takes a lot of effort to move 130 Kg lump of fat. But I understand that as my weight goes down, I will have to work harder to burn the same number of calories. In other words, a 120 Kg person will have to do walk more and/or walk faster than…
