  • Envy you all, cannot eat chocolate as I have a reaction to coco
  • I would agree with the above, don't starve yourself and eat back 1/2 2/3 of your exercise cals. I cycle and Endomondo throws up some high burned compared to Strava so err on caution e.g. 32.5 mile ride Strava 1292 calories Endomondo 2689 calories

  • generally cannot face eating anything until about 10am, which is not great as I will be out on the bike at 1pm so not getting the required energy intake Been trying to eat some bananas as I drive down the motor.way (sit in stationary queues) on my commute
  • No problem with BF in public, babies need their food .
  • Back into riding after many years of being pampered in my car. First time out nearly killed me, but just bought a nice new road bike (Sensa Trentino SL 2013, 105 Compact group set) Lunchtime rides at work 8-9 miles & trying to get longer distances in during the evenings and weekends. Look a bit blobby in the Lycra but the…
  • Body could be going into starvation mode, if you are exercising and have a low calorie intake its going to try and preserve as much reserves as possible .
  • As I am unable to eat chocolate as it makes me ill, I have a penchant for jelly beans & jelly babies. But on a good point I they are a rare treat.
  • The Endomondo app for my phone & the old mountain bike I was given. Allows me to get out and exercise without hurting my knees and no interruptions from the family. Getting a new road bike soon so will be fitted to me properly. Best thing Endomondo links to MFP
  • You could improvise with anything around the house with a bit of weight, even a couple of carrier bags with some tins from the cupboard & when finished make your lunch :)
  • people are surprised when I say I was nearly 18St due to my body shape I look generally normal apart from the bit around the waist, doctor once told me due to my structure I will never look the skinny person rather the stocky look.
  • My idea of heaven is a big plate of meat, lamb chops , pork chops Steak etc. I am a full on carnivore at heart . but I like my eveg nearly or raw tastes nicer ?? to each their own.
  • I have a fairly low calorie target of 1450 but will do cycling at lunch time which will burn around 400-600 calories, I try to use them up as on occasion when I have been under I have felt run down the next day due to no energy.
  • Sunday morning before breakfast,
  • seat height too low /heigh Way you sit with knees in relation to edge of seat do you tuck legs under seat (I do & that causes some pain after a while) a miriad of things can affect your knees when sitting
  • Both my knees click/crack when kneeling and my right gives way sometimes which is a pain. Doctor advised building up the lower leg muscles to compensate for the tendons & cartilige deteriorating. Sit down foot parallel (straight) lift leg to feel it pulling. Unfortunatly this precludes me from impact exercise like running…

  • Sugar snap peas and pea sprouts added to salads etc are an refreshing addition Sweet potatoes and carrot mash is nice
  • Cloud Atlas - Tom Hanks / Halle Berry film odd premiss but overall looks like it will be very interesting. Back to the Future 4 The Prototype
  • The improvements to the i5 over the 4S IMO do not warrant the expenditure in upgrading, Apple seem to have stagnated and are not innovating any more same design just a bit bigger. On spec the i5 is still lagging behind the Samsung Galaxy III.
  • Heinz Salad Cream, especially in mashed potato and on burgers
  • The good thing about using this app is that you see what things you can have that do not bite into your allowance as much and if you have a sweet tooth you can pick things that are not as bad. I only note my food with the app as I find adding the exercise it upps your allowance so I keep that off thus eliminating the urge…
  • Having been very active in my youth Cycling, Golf, Ice Skating. Job became more desk bound and working shifts, became bit of a couch potato, Knocking on 17St with the wife badgering me + the old knees are not liking the extra weight bearing down on them
  • Hi James, Hope things go well for you, Been using this app for about 3 months now and it has opened my eyes to what I would be grazing on in the evenings, its those little biscuits which helped me balloon to nearly 17 stone, surprising they can be as much as a full meal without realizing it.. loosing the weight has made me…
  • I always weigh myself in the morning, just so I have a reference without eating anything to up the weight. I also avoid weighing myself every day as it will fluctuate. hit a bit of a plateau atm so hovering around 101kg, time to dust of the gym gear.
