HRM Question - When do you stop yours?
This is just out of curiousity really... After a workout, when do you stop your HRM? Do you stop it the moment you stop moving, when you've got your breath back, when you've rested for a few minutes, or when your heart rate is back to normal? I stop mine when my heart rate drops below 100, but I always wonder what other…

Need some advice on exercise / body composition
Hi, I need a bit of advice about my body composition stuff. I've had a quick read of the forum, but I'm still confused to be honest. I've so far lost 30lbs since August by eating 1480 calories a day, I'm lightly active and I eat back my exercise calories. I try to mix up my workouts and while I mainly do cardio (elliptical…

Body fat analyser scales
Not sure about the best place to put this on the forum! I bought some shiney new scales yesterday, because I was sick of mine giving me 3 different readings in a row. They are the body fat analyser ones that tell you your body fat % water % and muscle % and just to be extra mean the readout turns purple to indicate that…

30 Day Shred weight loss question
This is a question for anyone who's ever completed the shred or at least got a decent way through it. I'm currently on day 9 and so far I am back at my starting weight, having gained and lost 1lb :frown: I've stuck with it, as I know this can happen due to water weight etc (I've read the info on DOMS) but to be honest I'm…

Should I log this?
Out of curiousity I wore my HRM while I did some cleaning. I cleaned for 68 minutes and burned 360 cals apparently. Now I'm wondering if I should log it since my activity level is set to lightly active, so I should have been on my feet most of the day anyway!! I don't usually log cleaning, but then I don't usually do an…

Small victory!
I did my usual body test on the wii fit tonight and on the screen where the arrow goes up to show you where on the BMI range you are, instead of going right to the top and looking as if it were stuck there, the arrow stopped just before the top!! OK, so I'm still obese with a BMI of 34.98, but it's coming down:bigsmile:…

logging sugar
I've opted to log sugars and sodium along with the standard calories/carbs/fats/proteins, mainly because I was interested, but I was shocked to see that I go over my sugar allowance every day. Well, not that shocked when I really look at what I eat, considering milk contains a fair amount of sugar along with the 'no sugar…

Measurements
How do you take your measurements? I know it should be simple, but I've noticed that I can take my measurements several times with varying results. For example, if I look down at the tape measure, it tenses my mucles and draws my stomach in slightly. If I don't breathe out first I'm likely to subconsciously hold my stomach…

Question about tea. (maybe TMI)
So I've been told that tea dehydrates you and it mustn't be counted towards your daily total of water and I've even read (not on here) that you should even drink extra water to make up for it. I'm really bad for drinking all my water. I don't like it much and I can't drink stuff with artificial sweeteners in as it stalls…

New, need someone to check out diary!
Hi, I'm obviously new! I've always low carbed before, but due to some meds I'm now on, I'm not allowed to low carb anymore, so this is my first proper attempt at a low calorie thing. I was hoping someone could take a look at my diary and tell me if I'm on the right track, since I'm so used to eating either rubbish or low…
