How many calories burnt a day is Sedentary calculated to be?
I am trying out the Argus app - it looks great for use with an iPhone 5s because it makes use of the M7 processor and tracks your activity even if the app isn't running - so battery life should be largely unaffected.

I hadn't weighed myself for some time until Sunday and got a shock when I did because I was about 15lb heavier than I expected.

easier once a day or harder every other day?
Hi, I have a cross trainer with an i-fit programme with three parts: beginner, intermediate, advanced. I have completed the beginner 24 days burining around 300 calories in 25 minutes per day at the end. This I found just about right and was able to fit it in most days.

Excel Weight Tracker
I have been using an excel spreadsheet to keep track of my weight, goal vs actual, and to create a nice chart. I find it quite useful, as long as it is viewed in the broader scheme of things. If anyone is interested you can download it from here: http://bit.ly/myfitp Cheers Ian
