Hi, My mum has asked for a device to track her sleep for mother's day and I see that Fit Bit do one, I'm just wondering how exactly does it work? And is it accurate? Or are there any other brands more available? She's not a massive computer user either, do you have to plug them in to computers to see the results? Thanks…

Drop 2 Sizes
Hello, Might be a dumb question, but.... Does anyone know what sort of results I can expect by following the exercise plan but not the diet plan of Rachel Cosgrove's book? I hate following a diet plan because I don't like being told what to eat, but just wondered if I stuck to a sensible amount of calories would I still…

BWC
Hi, My electronic scales give you your weight, your body fat measurement and then BWC, which I think is Body Water Content. Anyway, I've read that the body fat one isn't that accurate, I'm just wondering what people's opinion is on the body water bit? I think it seems to be a bit random, for example, I just did mine this…

Bread and Butter
One of my favourite foods is a slice of bread and butter. I do put a lot of butter on my bread and my boyfriend always makes some sort of comment. Anyway, up until now I've been including the butter in my calories because I just don't want to give it up. But the last couple of days I've found myself resenting the butter…

Tex Mex Restaurant Calories
Hi, I'm going to a tex mex restaurant tomorrow, never been to one before, I've tried searching the food database, but it doesn't seem to come up with much. Does any one have any rough guesses of the calories in any meals that may possibly be available on a typical tex mex menu? I'm guessing they're going to be quite high!…

Weighing more in the morning
I know that weight can fluctuate a few pounds each day, but in my head that means you weigh less in the morning and more at night. Well... just out of interest, last night I weighed myself. This morning I did it again and the scales said 4lb more this morning than last night. Isn't that backwards? Or does anyone else get…

How to get this shape?
I've been googling fitness models and keep noticing the shape of some of their hips (as circled). My question is: are there any exercises that can be done to specifically target that area, or is it just something that comes with low body fat?

Hair dilemma!
Hello! I'm having a hair dilemma, do you think it suits me better longer or shorter or in the middle? It's always good to get a strangers opinion!! Bearing in mind the shorter my hair the older the picture, so therefore I'm younger/skinnier/prettier/etc. lol

Bent Over One Arm Dumbbell Row
Are you supposed to feel certain muscles 'working' when you do this exercise? I can feel that the exercise is hard work and my last rep is always hard work, but I can never feel it working any particular muscle(s). But if I'm doing something like a tricep kickback, for example, I can actually feel the triceps working. Do…

Aching 2 days later...
Does anyone else get muscle aches from working out 2 days later? I used to get the aches and muscle stiffness the day after working out, but now I'm getting it 2 days afterwards. It just seems a bit weird because it's new for me. Thanks
