I can only see one page of tags too.. but the list on the right hand side in the box includes all my tags so im able 2 add my food using that right panel, but still strange how the pages are missing... :s

I have protein shakes also for the protein - i find if i'm low on my protein for the day i'll have it to boost the figure a bit.

I recenty had a debate with a (male) friend of mine who says i shouldn't be drinking them unless i'm aiming for big muscles (!), and that by drinking them it will cause my weight loss 2 stop. but it hasn't i've still been losing the same as i was before i started drinking them !! I like my chocolate shake with 200ml of skim milk =)

no probs :)

Thanks again melkor, I've decided I'll be doing some weights 2morow morning at the gym :) I've been hovering around 142-143 for the last 3 weeks now and it's starting to get to me a bit!! :~(

Thanks! My goal is long term weight loss yeah but i want to just drop these approx 6lbs before i move away in september, and then once i'm there maybe i could pick up the weight training then and carry on with my weight loss further, the 6 lbs is not my final goal, just a sub goal if you like.

I know how important weight lifting is important but i just had the thought that just cardio would help me for the nxt few weeks then once i've joined a new gym i will start up again with cardio plus weights.

Yep i like running, treadmill is my fav at the gym. usually do interval training on there. thanks for the responses so far :)

Oh i figured some stats may be needed, im 5 ft 2/3...143 lbs age 19 female :)

Is it true you shouldn't weigh yourself after you work out aswell? I weigh myself every day but don't record my weight, i only do this on sundays to see if i've lost anything for the week. I always do it using the gym scales that calculates your height weight body fat etc. and i do this every sunday at 6pm after i've worked out for an hour - should i be doing it before i work out? or even stil change it completely to a day where i can record my weight in the mornings before any food?

I bought my F4 off ebay too, got a good price for it... I use it at the gym 4-6 times a week, for the last 6 weeks - and I havn't once yet had any problems with interference... come to think about it i've never actually seen anyone at my gym with a HRM!

It's really useful to see how many calories are actualy burnt compared to what the machines tell you and I've found its more accurate than what CC's log tells me i burn too. Its so motiviating to see the number increase as you work out :)

thanks everyone, thats made me feel a lot lot better :)

hmm..well over here its just about 25-28 C rite now, which is nowhere near what we usualy get! and i was told weight may be higher because the body is holding onto more water for hydration..but not sure if this is true..which is why i've turned to the wonderful CC to see if anyone can help! :)

What did you use the monitor for? What i've been doing for the last 2 days is wear my HRM to work (both days i did 6 hours) and whatever it said i burnt in that time, I minus that from what I would usualy burn if i was sitting doing nothing (which is what I would do at home if I wasn't at home :) )

It didn't work out 2 be much, but it was around 250 cals more than what I would do if i wasn't at work, so i guess it all adds up !
This is how its been working for me anyway! :)

Oh but i don't think its recomended to use it for that long each day, i just used it to give myself an idea of what i am burning at work. hope this helps !

thanks! i might do that it sounds like a good idea... i'm going to use my hrm at work for the next few days then see roughly what i burn in an hour, then eventualy not wear it - i don't want to be wearing it all the time! sometimes it's busy so i'm on the go but sometimes its not so busy so doing less!

:)

Anyone...!? :(

I usually have the same problem, but for the last couple of months my weight hasnt changed at all... i started my period yesterday, and i was on the scales this morning as soon as i woke up and i weigh 1 lb lighter than what i've been weighing in over the last few days! (i also weigh everday,like to see how it fluctuates). Its really weird that i havn't gone up,i too usualy increase by a good few lbs...!! :S but hey im not complaining... :P
