Science needed!
Was chatting to a friend yesterday, and it turns out that he does 2-3 hours of cardio per day, as a way to lose and maintain his weight (he doesn't want to change his diet, and he's not really all that overweight). I was telling him that strength training works effectively for weight loss, and that 2-3 hours of cardio is a…

Ok - what have I done????
I have a garmin vivofit 2, and I love it, but for some reason, when I sync it with mfp, it is actually taking calories away from my daily calorie goal. For example, my cal goal is 1750, and after my 10'000 steps, it's saying I have 1737! Is it because I'm not logging food at the minute? I've been eating away from home a…

I have ALWAYS really hated exercise, mainly because it was tied up in weight loss, so while I was 'recovering', I did very little. Our family recently…

Free weight advice
Hi...I just joined a really tiny local gym. My motivation was mainly to start doing some weight work since I've always relied on cardio workouts, which I know is not *the best*. I would like to balance that a bit more and start using free weights, but I'm really unsure where to begin. Are there any resources you can point…

Minor setback, but frustrating!
I'm not completely new to Primal, but last week I got back on the wagon and re committed myself to the lifestyle change...I loved it so much when I started back in February, but got off track by our annual American vacation (we live in the UK), and it's taken me a little bit to find my way back. So, I was feeling really…
