CV machine calories burnt.
Firstly I know that the amount of calories burnt indicated on a treadmill are to be taken with a pinch of salt. I have the treadmill on a level 12.0 incline with a speed of 4.0kph and it says I burn 700 per hour. I now don't enter my exercise on MFP just food only but recently I've started using the bike in the gym. I…

BMI query.
Using the same scales at my gym once a week same time before breakfast etc.. My weight on 11/5/13 was 266 and today, 60 days later, I'm 240. My BMI was 37 and now it's 34%. I may be wrong but I thought for quite a bit of weight loss 3% was a bit low? Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for quick fixes I just wondered if…

Running/walking - Sweat difference.
I've been steadily losing 2lb per week for 6 weeks or so and when I do my exercise 5 days per week it's been consistently the same on the treadmill. 5kph speed with an incline of 5.0. It's been serving me well but I always leave the gym feeling I could've done more and not exactly sweating. Today I stuck the treadmill on…

Thrown my pedometer in the bin!
Just did a local walk which I estimated to be around the mile mark. Got home and the pedometer said Distance = 1.92 miles (Definately miles as it says miles at the top but KM would've been more accurate) Calories = 119 Well if the distance was 1.92 miles I'm sure I'd've burnt closer to the 200 calorie mark so something's…

Eating at the gym....
The gym I go to is a body building gym (Not why I'm there obviously!) and, naturally, the food smells great in there. However, I can't get the nutritional info to put into MFP so I steer clear. I can't guess the calories so what can I do?

Treadmill readings.
Hi all I have touched on this briefly in the past but just wanted a few new perspectives.(Hopefully!) If I put the treadmill on a gradient 5/15 and 5kph the machine says I burn 730 calories in one hour. For MFP purposes I deduct 15% so I'd input 620 in the exercise section for that particular day? Is this ok? Also, if you…

New to running.
As the title says I'm losing weight at a decent speed by walking just about everywhere. I've no need to start running other than I'd like to. I've hardly ran since school and last week on the way home from gym I said to myself id run 3x20 seconds to see how I got on. Needless to say I was a little short of breath but the…

ANOTHER pedometer enquiry!!
Thought I'd do 30/40 minutes walking tonight just twice around our block. Took the ped off at the end and it said I'd walked 4578 steps, 2.167 miles and burnt 124 calories. Now I use the treadmill 4/5 days a week and a 40 minute walk at the same pace as I walked tonight burns 480 calories (720 per hour) Now a few of you…

Half way there :)
I'm on day 46 today. Lost close to 23 pounds and feel so different. I'm running AHEAD of my little 2 year old son not behind, clothes are fitting so much nicer and my whole life has been transformed. I've only been on MFP for 10 days but its definitely helped. Previously I'd eat certain foods that I thought were decent…

First pedometer
Bought my first one today. Once clipped onto my shorts or joggers can I take it as red that it will be as close to 100% accurate as can be? Is it accurate on a treadmill too I assume so? It cost £10.

Day 42
I'm on day 42 of my 'New life' and I have a question. I've gone from eating, I'd imagine now I'm looking at calories on everything, around 3000 calories with very little exercise to a net of 1500, gym 5 days a week every week so far. What I'm conscious of is that I've not cheated yet. My diet has been consistent, I've had…

Age difference?
I lost around 4 stone when I was 23 by eating better and a shed load of exercise. Now I'm 29 - is the difference going to be THAT great 6 years apart?

Potassium
MFP calculated my potassium daily target at 3500 which is 24500 per week. Last week my actual was 310mg!! Is this bad or not a problem? I hate bananas so what else can I have to up this?
-
Please clarify something...
If my TDEE is 3450 according to fitness frog why can't I just eat 2950 per day, do no exercise and still have a deficit of 500 per day? I'm not quite getting this TDEE and bmr just yet despite your best efforts. Please help me and go...very...slowly :) Thank you.

Supplements?
My gym is a body building gym primarily. Not that I use it for that as I only use the cardio section and have only just started doing a bit if light lifting. However, they sell pretty much everything. Now I'm not looking for any quick fix as I'm happy to get to my target weight in a few months not weeks however I've been…

Pins and needles...
In my hands and also in my *kitten* and nether regions when I come off the exercise bike these last two days. Why and what can I do if anything?

TDEE question?
In putted my age, weight, height, sex and moderate exercise. It's given me a reading of 3568. Can someone please tell me something so I fully understand and don't go mad. That means I burn 3568 calories per day? MFP has my daily consumption at 2040. If I eat 2040 I have a deficit of 1500 per day? I'm going wrong somewhere…

Check my diary?
If someone has time would you mind just looking through my food and exercise diary and tell me what you think? My MFP food log only started a week ago!! I'm trying to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Would be much appreciated.

How accurate are the calorie counters on treadmills?
Anyone know if they are pretty much spot on?
-
HIIT on the spot?
I'm keen to get into HIIT but was wondering if it could be done running on the spot? I can't see why not as you can exert yourself 20% right upto 80% or whatever you need. Thoughts?

BMR query (Sorry)
I've worked mine out to be 2280. I'm 29, 5 ft 10 and weight 248 lbs. my question is this: bmr is the amount of calories I need to eat to maintain my current weight is this correct? This would mean I should eat 1780 per day (500 deficit) to lose a pound a week - am I getting this right?
