Body Pump
I've logged this as "strength exercises" under cardio, but the calorie burn doesn't seem that great (179 in 45 minute class). I don't have a HRM so I'm not sure, but I feel like it's a wee bit more than that. Does anybody do the class with a HRM who could keep me right?

MFP OCD
Don't get me wrong, MFP is a great site and is helping me loads. But there's one, tiny thing that annoys me about it... You see, I have a weird, OCD thing about my weightloss. I don't like saying "I've lost xxx lbs" until I've ACTUALLY lost that number. Last week, I had lost 10.8lbs. That's TEN pounds in my head, not…

Chinese tonight - ideas please

1. Walking fast in heels when you're late for a meeting. Heels in general should definitely count for more. 2. Turning down the offer of a nice lunch out at a restaurant with colleagues, to sit in the office and eat your low calorie soup. 3. Ignoring the chocolate biscuits in the office kitchen. 4. Ignoring the case of…

Wagamama
I was planning on going to Wagamama's tonight, thinking that their food was reasonably healthy. But I checked the MFP database and my usual dish of Chicken Ramen (which as far as I'm concerned is basically chicken and noodles in chicken-flavoured water) is coming up as 840 calories!! This would seem like a lot for what is…

Progress...of a sort
So my first weigh in this morning. I actually thought that I hadn't lost any weight whatsoever, but it turned out I was getting confused about the numbers (I was 186.4, now 184.6, so it kind of looked the same!!) But after a week of really trying hard to keep under the calories, exercising when I can, and avoiding all…

Zumba classes
Hi all My gym has just started putting on zumba classes which are starting tonight. Does anyone know how I should log these in the exercise log? (I'm worried that I'm completely uncoordinated, but as its a new class I'm hoping everyone will be as bad as each other!! And I've heard it's fun if nothing else) Any help…
