You're from Birmingham now are you? * disclaimer * I'm Mark's brother ;-)

Hello I work in Coventry and live in Nuneaton - been here about eight or nine years :-) Andy

me :-) Originally from Walsall (West Midlands) but nowadays home is Nuneaton in Warwickshire

I'm in the UK too - I live in Nuneaton, Warwickshire - I'm originally from Walsall though Hit my goal weight so haven't been tracking stuff but still lurk on here quite a bit :-)

Welcome to MFP! There are loads us from the UK here :-) I'm in Warwickshire and currently down 17lbs!

Hartleys sugar free Jelly (jello for you US guys?) is 3 calories so I use that as a snack :-)

I've been pushing hard to beat my best 3 mile time recently. Current best is 21:45 which I'm very pleased with :-)

Welcome! Another one from UK :-) I'm in Nuneaton - just outside Coventry

Welcome! :-) I'm in Nuneaton, just outside Coventry

You need to track everything - if you're not sure about something find something that's close enough if you're saying you're around or slightly under your calorie goal for each day the bits you aren't tracking could actually be taking you over :-)

You could up your intensity? if you're exercising for 1 or 2 hours you should burn more than 300 calories. MFP said my 22 min run last night burned over 400 calories

Originally from Walsall - now live in Nuneaton and work in Coventry - i think that's west midlands enough :smile:

I'm in Nuneaton too Good luck!

Thanks - glad you like!

That's a good idea...will go do that now! thank you

Cheers Zo :wink: That sounds pretty practical for me on a day where i haven't had time to prepare anything - I'll need to swap the nuts out for something though as I really don't like nuts at all

Thanks all Some good suggestions there. My wife usually suggests soup but it rarely fills me up which is why I generally avoid it as I end up eating something else with it. Chicken is a good idea though as it's something I really enjoy so could use that and add stuff to it thanks again :happy:

I'd be interested to hear more opinions on this. I'm running once a day, sometimes twice a day - i'm only doing 2-3 miles at a time though

hello! I live in Nuneaton too - I thought I was the only one on here!

Another Brit here! I live in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Welcome to MFP!

Awesome!

Yeah certainly manageable. As i said I drink two pints after exercise so getting a couple more in during the day should be easy enough!

Also means I've actually been drinking more than I've been tracking!

Thanks all - makes perfect sense DoctorWhoFan - I'm from the UK so 250ml makes more sense to me too - I'm also a Dr Who fan as well :happy:

Just out of interest where do you think it would be better to live?

I haven't played it yet but EA Sports Active is supposed to be pretty good. Number 2 has just come out so you could probably pick up the first one quite cheaply

Thanks for the kinds word :-) Very much appreciated!
