Sadl no change for me, I'm suffering with man flu too so only 120 minutes of exercise <sniff>

Hey back from holidays and ready to get back at it! I like the challenge this week, I know everyone is different so just to let you know I'm in for the challenge this week. As someone who used to do long distance triathlons I know I'm fine with this, there are days when I've burnt the best part of 10,000 calories and the…

Sounds good. Let's see if we can do this on top of the team challenge of 30 minutes 5 days. Go team MMFA!!!

I see a big disparity too when I compare MFP to my Garmin edge. The MFP calories are often nearly 1.5 times what the Garmin says. The Garmin is pretty accurate in my experience so I think MFP is just overestimating the exercise calories.

This made me smile... I was on the road a couple of times because of my clip-in pedals when I started but I promise if you keep going it will be worth it in the long run. Beware uphill starts though, they are the hardest with clip-ins in my opinion because if it's steep you only get one shot at getting the second foot in…

An interesting paper on running efficiency vs walking efficiency http://edulife.com.br/dados%5CArtigos%5CEducacao%20Fisica%5CFisiologia%20do%20Exercicio% 5CEnergy%20expenditure%20of%20walking%20and%20running%20comparison%20with% 20prrediction%20equations.pdf The physics of running vs walking is not as simple as weight *…

I don't think we've been set a challenge yet other than the win the weigh in obviously! The weather looks good here for next week so I'm looking to get some long rides in to help produce the great number I know we'll get and to beat the other teams :tongue: GO TEAM!

Crikey.... errr ok here goes Team Name - The Mighty Morphin Flower Arrangers :flowerforyou: Members - Amberlin, JustJenn419, kangababy, krevelle65, Libby9, Megz4987, tlrunyon woo hooo, let's do this!

Height: 5'11" Weight: 260 - same as last week :frown: Waist: 45.25" Hips: 44.25" Wrist: 7.00" Forearm: 12.25 Exercise Minutes: 140 I'm not ready to go home yet, I have so much I still need to learn :sad:

Not the best week but given I used up all my 'tricks' in the first week I guess I'm happy... ish :grumble: will have to make next week a good week I guess! Height: 5'11" Weight: 260 Waist: 45.75" Hips: 45.25" Wrist: 7.25" Forearm: 12.5 Exercise Minutes: 310

I know that feeling too. I had to go shopping for a suit for a wedding and not only was I struggling to get into the biggest sizes but I looked like a 'bear in a suit'. Hang in there, it will get better I'm sure!

Thanks again for doing this, it's a real motivator for me. Not been so good this week though so not entirely looking forward to the next set of results!

Wow - you look amazing. Great job!!!

1 & 2 look ill. If I saw them on the street I'd probably guess they had a drug habit. Assuming they are all clever and funny which is far more important... I think 12 and 8 look the best. My wife thought she'd like to look like 5.. luckily for me she's much more of a 12. Sadly she wont believe me when I tell her I think…

Ok - I confess I've used every trick in the book to make sure these first weeks figures are good. I guess for me the real hard work starts this week when I have no more tricks left to use :smile: Height: 5'11" Weight: 264 Waist: 46" Hips: 45.5" Wrist: 7.5" Forearm: 12"

Hi - I'm just starting out on the 'paleo' diet, again! Done it before some years ago and it worked pretty well whilst it lasted but found it hard to follow all the time as I didn't have time to prepare every meal. The trouble is if you go for something quick and easy it almost always has grains and dairy in it, so I found…

Thanks for doing this, it really is a great motivation knowing I have to post the figures at the end of each week! It's kept me on track once already this week!!

Everyone turn away whilst I type these please... :wink: Height: 5'11" Weight: 275 Waist: 48" Hips: 46" Wrist: 7.5" Forearm: 12.5"

Sounds like fun! I'm in if I'm not too late already.
