I have been warned my a few people not to have too much of it as described above and it is also very bad for your teeth. I have incorporates into my diet however, I use 2 tbls salad olive oil / 1 tbls apple cider vinegar as a salad dressing.

Thanks for clearing that up!!

so bumping this :tongue:

I have just bought a fitbit earlier today and I was wondering this same exact thing. Would I be better off buying an FT7 as well to use for my workouts? Its just that I read that the fitbit may be damaged through very sweaty exercises. Would the HRM give a better indication of calories burned in sessions? Thoughts...

:laugh: Are you still here or have you really gone for that walk lol???

I :heart: MFP! I also have it open in my browser at all times, I literally save it that way. Facebook was so last year :tongue: I agree everyone is so supportive on here! :flowerforyou:

I am also 5'7 and it would be great to have supportive friends. Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

OMG ... I never met anyone else who live in Reddy ... I live in Kippa Ring!! Born and raised in Redcliffe, but took a gap year living in China a few years ago!

^ Thanks for that ... I have just gone ahead and purchased it!! So excited!

Im an Aussie ... more specifically a brisvegas girl!!! I have just added you, lets support eachother! :drinker:

bump for link!!

^ Another Brissy girl here :drinker: I literally just order my plum ultra fitbit today... so excited! I will post my URL when it arrives.

Im curious, does the fitbit track calories burnt in gym sessions automatically or does it just add to the calories you burn through the day? Basically, how does it calculate calories burned?

Thanks for sharing... very helpful, especially for a newbie getting into regulaar swimming

bump bump bump :laugh:

bump for later

I have read this entire thread twice and I am even more confused :sad: MFP BMR = 2043 Harris-Benedict BMR = 1991 Katch-McArdle BMR = 1411 TDEE = 2347 (according to Fat2Fit) I am not quite sure what number of cals I should be consuming. I also weigh 269.5lbd and have a fat percentage of 59.2 :noway: So if I eat above my BMR…

Thanks for your reply, I will look into incorporating those foods :flowerforyou:

I have never been in a situation but I would assume that people in this category would know that an offer for them to sit isnt offered to be offensive but to genuinely help them. I would offer at least get up and make an offer. Is that correct??

Being a university student myself and commuting on 2 buses and a train ... I am sad to say that I see this all the time and it annoys the hell out of me. Ever since I can remember, I have always got up to offer my seat to any older person no matter who it was. It is just what should be done. Even to this day I am the first…

Thanks for all of your replies!! :flowerforyou: I cant wait to start, but as a few of you have suggested, I will incorporate a good strength circuit and figure out a set program to see how I will go!! (I am a little afraid to get into my swimsuit, but luckily I have my own pool which should save some embarrasment :laugh: )

Bump for later!

Agreed with the posters above. Please please call the police now if you havent done so. His "excuses" are alraming, you hear all to often from victims that their attackers thought that they were, protecting, sharing their 'love' and all that sort of crap. You do not know what this guy is actually capable of or what he…

I agree with the above. Everyone has given really good advice, try it! But in the end, if you still feel TRAPPED and that you are NOT SAFE... MOVE! Your security is of the utmost importance, if you do not feel safe in your own home the best thing you can do is move. Do not provoke this guy. Do not cuss him out or make any…

NEVER!!! I am 25 y/o and I grew up with alot of my friends getting pregnant and getting it on with different people everyother day, so I decided it wasnt for me until I some silly *kitten* puts a ring on it. Almost caved a few times but luckily I found out that they were a**holes before... phew. I know... I know... I am a…

OMG ... I have a genetic eye condition that puts me into a similar situation as you. My blood vessels in my eyes are very weak and they hemorrhage quite a bit. It also excretes scar tissue which detaches my retina. I fully understand what you are going through and the limitations caused by this. Good Work .. Keep on doing…

Great way to challenge yourself - here is another mile for you!

I was a nerdy loner goody-2-shoes misfit!! I had only 2 acquaintances that I would talk to and sit with during lunch breaks etc. But I never had any BFF which I hung out with after school. I was so shy that I always felt uncomfortable (I was also obese so that would not have helped). For the most part I was invisible ...…

I have to say Titanic and The Boy in the Stipped Pyjamas. And by cryiny I mean blubbering and making those horrible noises of trying to breathe and hide it fron everyone else watching. Oh and any disney movie .. I am just a big cry baby!

LMAO! I have to admit that is good. My mum has the uncanny ability to sound like Donald Duck.
