can someone explain the "burn meter" on the calorie counter site. I put in an activity which burnt 445 cals but up in the blue square it says 1150 cals and the total estimate is 2290

Um no!!! I will confess I ignore that bit totally

I am fairly sure we will be doing this again in April - not sure if it will be zzzLazyDaisy (where are you btw?!) or me running it :rolleyes:

fluffybishop - ooh, where are you off to? I'm going away towards the end of April too but will join in till I go! I'll probably lose weight on hols (Asia), always happens to me in that part of the world!

kittycoocat, enjoy the walk! I've also been losing and gaining since the start of the year but the trend is definitely (slowly) downwards.

gillz83 - as long as you concentrate on one or the other, they will both come together. I find that exercising more eventually makes me want to eat better. HTH.

I went to the gym at lunchtime, managed to burn 300 cals, yeeha!

gillz83

ha, I suppose ignoring it might work Ive also just noticed that it randomly changes oon its own Are you supposed to aim for 500-1000 less calories than what you have burnt? or the number in the blue box? its all very strange lol

Tara - nothing as exotic as Asia I'm afraid, but we are going to Edinburgh for a week on the 5th April and I can't wait :j . I really love Edinburgh but not stayed there before just visited for the day a couple of times.
We are staying the first night in The Witchery :eek: :T :j as a very special birthday treat for hubby and have a table booked in their restaurant that night :j .

The next few nights we are in another hotel in central Edinburgh but I have looked on Trip Advisor and there are some really fantastic restaurants in Edinburgh and I fully intend trying them out :rotfl: [not very MSE but our Air Miles are paying for the second hotel so we can not feel so guilty eating out every night ]

We are stopping off on the way home in the Lake District in a place with an Award winning restaurant so bang goes my diet in April :rotfl: :rotfl:

fluffybishop, that sounds absolutely gorgeous!!!! I am a big fan of Edinburgh, you will have a lovely time. :beer: Let us know how the Witchery goes (lucky you). I've never been to the Lake District but it sounds amazing.

I am sitting eating oatcakes like they're going out of fashion, someone please tell me not to be so greedy.

The exercise will be hell to burn off all those calories - so, STOP eating the oatcakes now :rotfl:

I bet! It's hard work and a struggle at the best of times so we'd be mad to add to it. Mind you, I am fighting off the urge for a chocolate biccie myself right now lol!

Did someone mention chocolate biccies? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek:
