Starvation mode is a myth
I keep on seeing people refering to 'stavation mode' like it is real From what I have read here, from people who seem to really know their stuff, this is just a myth and unless you are really starving like a concentration camp victim there is no such thing.

Burn going down and down
When I started I would burn about 250 cals in 30 mins (Polar HRM) now it's round 155 for the same work out. I did adjust my weight down as I went along and that now I have moderate setting for activity instead of sedentary/low on my HRM.

Rant about men - they lose too easily
My darling man is 6' 6" and at 50+ decided he was too heavy at 240lbs - so the went a on a diet used our rowing machine and in 4 months was down to 182lb. He wanted to stop at 185lb but the weight just kept melting away. Just for the record I hate that it is so easy for most men to lose - anyway much easier than us older…
