Is Wahoo Fitness Tickr good for resistance training?
So I've been using my Wahoo Tickr heart rate monitor in the gym recently. Even though, in the app for it, there's no option for resistance training, would the calorie reading be accurate if I use it for resistance training? Shouldn't it be accurate since the calories burned are calculated based on my heart rate, correct?

Why am I gaining weight?
Hi guys. I've been losing loads of weight and am doing to 87.6 kg from 115Kg. I'm weight training 5 days a week with cardio everyday. I weighed in this week and I've gained around half a Kg (I was at 87Kg before). Why would this happen? Am I doing anything wrong? This is an honest question, not a panic attack :P

Ramadan 2013
Any Muslims brothers and sisters here? What're your goals and plans for Ramadan 2013. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that Ramadan=weight loss. I'm just saying that weight loss is a great secondary objective to have for Ramadan. From today through Ramadan, I'm opting for at least 1-2 Kg a week... And I'll be…
