Cycling with a child in child seat
Hi, I cycle to school (and back) with my kids. My youngest is about 22kg (50lb) and is in a seat on the back of my bike. So for half of my cycling daily, I'm carrying a lot of extra weight, which takes a good load more exertion. Is there a way to factor this in using the normal settings within mfp? Without a hrm? Thanks

Suggest home gym equipment please
My husband and I want to get a piece of gym equipment for home use. We're torn between an elliptical cross trainer (my favourite option now I think, but not sure how much hubby would use it), a treadmill (this was my initial favourite idea but I'm not sure it's the best for both of us), or a weights machine (this would be…

A few NSVs this week :D
I feel a bit silly posting in Success Stories, since these are all such small victories, but I'm totally delighted to have so many little things in one week :happy: . I completed level 1 of 30DS this week, and along with that came the following: I was showering the other day, after my shred, and felt a hard lump in my…

Spam me your inspirational quote pics
I tried searching the forums for a post like this, and I also googled, but maybe I'm not using the right search terms as I came up with nothing on here and only a few good hits on google, but nothing that really spoke to me. I've seen lots of people on here with nice inspirational quotes in pictures in their signatures.…

Cals burned shopping?
I've spent the last 4 hours out shopping, my shopping was really heavy (for me), 30lb. I definitely broke a sweat and my heart rate was up, so I decided to log it as exercise. The only walking with any weight I could find in the MFP lists was walking with an infant/15lb load, which is half the weight I was carrying, but I…

Realistic?
I just set myself some new mini goals as I think only having my main goal was demotivating me as it's so huge! Just wanted some opinions, do you think they're realistic? Based approximately on 1.5lb per week loss from now until Xmas (as I'm very overweight and therefore I think, if I stick to my cals, 1.5lb a week is…

Can someone explain the whole groups/challenges thing to me?
I see all these groups and challenges, and also lots of people have 'team' signatures. How do I go about joining in with a challenge? Almost all the groups seem to have 'closed' on them. I'm not doing too well on the motivation front and I think I might do better if I add a bit of fun/competition into the mix. Are there…

Does it really matter for just one day?
I'm feeling under the weather today, a bit fluey and I haven't eaten much. Just finished my quickie dinner (half a frozen pizza), and have had a bottle of lucozade, but I still have about 480 calories left for today. To be honest, I CBA to eat anything else, I'm totally full from the pizza. I'm thinking of just going…

What am I doing wrong?
In the first 3 weeks of being on MFP I lost 2.5kg, at the start I was logging every little move I made, in order to gain more to eat, so I was logging cleaning etc LOL. I've stopped that in the last week and am only logging proper exercise, I've jumped back into C25K at and I'm on W4 (I took a few weeks off due to…

Anyone doing C25K and in W3?
I started C25K at the beginning o the year (again! I started last year, but stopped due to injury). I was keeping tabs with a group on another forum I use, we all started around the same time, but I had to take 2-3 weeks off due to illness, and just got back into it on Wednesday, jumped back in at W3D1 and did W3D2 today.…

Recommend a reasonably priced HRM with bluetooth (UK/Ireland
Can anyone recommend a decent HRM that has bluetooth? Nothing too crazily priced, and must be available in Ireland or the UK. Thanks in advance.

TGI Friday's garlic broccoli?
I don't know about other countries, but here in Ireland, TGI's do a gorgeous side of broccoli flavoured with garlic. It's totally delicious (but probably very unhealthy compared to just broccoli). Does anyone know how to make something similar? I'm thinking something along the lines of a bit of garlic softened in olive…

Hi
Hiya all, I'm new here. Just joined up 2 days ago after I spotted a few friends were using MFP, and I'm loving it so far, although it's showing me just how badly I've been doing when I thought I was already trying to be good and cut down! I'm also doing C25K, and I'm up to week 3, loving that too, although I sometimes need…
