Quorn Korma Help?!
Hi all I tend to use quorn a lot more than meat for the low fat reasons. Mainly in stir fry's or with sauces because you really can't tell the difference that much. When I do a roast, I use real meat. Anyway, I don't eat spicy food, I hate it. I love Korma though, and wondered if anyone has a recipe that can use up stuff…

Which is more accurate?
Hi all I have been playing with my kinect and just wondered which calorie counter would be more accurate? My HRM with chest strap or the game one. My HRM allows me to put in my age and weight. Atm my resting heart rate is quite high (between 109 and 119) and when exercising it goes up to 180. Obviously the game can't see…

Exercises When Pregnant
Hi All I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago, and have been too scared to carry on with my normal exercises and diet in case I do something and I lose it.

Elliptical trainers
What would be better for me to do? The fat burn programme or the cardio programme. I am trying to lose weight and tone up at the same time...though preferably without killing myself in the process. Should I start with the fat burn and work my way up to cardio when I feel it is no longer doing anything for me? Or just go…

What is the best exercise
Hi I have set myself a new goal today. MFP reckons that I can reach my goal weight in 40 weeks losing 2lb per week. I lost 7lb the first week. Not intentionally.

I always seem to be under, but if I go to the right amount, I'm worried it will put the other allowances out. If I don't eat the full calories, will my body go straight into starvation mode, or will I have some grace period. Also,…
