Get points for being + / - 50 calories of our set target :P

Friday got my long run in, 12 miles averaging 8:47 minute miles. Not too sure where another 14.2 miles at that pace are coming from at the moment :P Weigh in after week 5 of the program at the gym down to 94.6 kg. Down from 103 kg at the start. One week left would love to get to 10 kg down over...

Yeah normally, although I have the occasional naked bar at 130 calories. I put all my 3 main meals into MFP then see what I've got left. Normally 500 odd calories left over so plenty of leeway for a snack in my 2050 calories a day.

5.5 miles on the treadmill tonight @ 10 minute miles, to calibrate the watch. If the weather is rubbish I'll start doing long and easy runs on the dreadmill.

Breakfast for me at the moment is 4 Heck Sausages (Chicken), 2 bacon Medallions cooked in the air fryer. With Scrambled eggs (100g egg whites and 2 medium eggs) Sometimes add 30g of low fat cheese. all for under 550 calories

Not for this man :P

Last night was a Tempo session, 1 mile warm up into 2 miles @ 8:15 minute miles. 2 minute walking rest into a mile @ 8:00 minute mile. 90 second walking rest and a mile cool down. Almost 6 miles by the time I got back to work averaged 9:06 minute miles

I do one or two sessions a week, the sessions I do are pretty intense cardio and explosive strength. If it a class led one, then make sure to let the instructor know of your niggles. If they are any good they will be able to adapt it for you

This is where I struggle, I have to run with someone otherwise I just go on how I'm feeling on the day. I'd say most of my runs will be mid Z3 with effort into Z4.

Woke up not wanting to do my Progressive long run that I'd planned to catch up this week. Finally got myself going and went. 2.5 miles easy (which I find really hard), 2.5 miles @ 9 minute miles into 2.5 miles @ 8:30 minute miles. Then a mile cool down, not going to lie it was one of those just...

So weigh in yesterday for week 3 of the program at the gym. Another 1.9kg of weight off. So down 3.5% body fat aswell. Only thing I've noticed is the tshirt's are a bit looser. Just wish I could shift this snotty nose, then I might be able to tell if my running is getting easier or not 😆

So Friday got a hyrox session in first thing, then out for an interval session. 1km Repeats with Runna ✅ 1.3mi warm up at a conversational pace (no faster than 9:35/mi), 90s walking rest 3 reps of: • 0.62mi at 7:50/mi (7:35-8:05/mi), 90s walking rest 0.8mi cool down at a conversational pace (or...

So my point of view, I lose weight easier when I use MFP. For instance I batch cook alot. I weigh all the veg, take the weight of the meat from the packaging. Then sometimes it's 7 portions other times it's 8. So if any of the weights are different from the previous batch they are changed and...

Then I would suggest you're not tracking everything or underestimating what your putting into MFP

So scanned myself at the gym this morning, as part of the fat loss program. So after 2 weeks i'm 6.1kg down, approximately a stone. With 5kg being fat, have lost some muscle mass which I think happens. Visceral fat is going down, so dropped 2 levels there to 14. Want to get to 10 as quickly as...
