    Hey, can anyone help with these wee questions?
    How many calories do you think you burn playing Guitar Hero? :rotfl:
    Also, how much extra weight do you carry when its your TOM?
    And does anyone know a good site for checking calorie content?
    Thanks guys!!!! :D:D:D xxxx
    1. no idea
    2. From 4lb to 10lb depending how much water you carry aparently according to google, I know I carry 4lb at least and never take it into account because I know the day after it has all gone
    3. calorie counting WW has one, there are thousands that come up if you google, there are loads of USA sites that come up

    bb thanks, you really are a special person to care:D

    And perhaps a large flowery hat?:D You can actually buy a basket for the front and a beautiful one for the back but a tad pricy and don't really need it. Bike now essentially done except for front dynamo light and rear carrier rack. I need to get it checked out by someone who knows about bikes before taking it for a ride, so mightn't be on it for a few days yet. Well that's what I am saying now...
    The best bit is that I've been able to adjust the handle bars and saddle to a perfect position for me.

    Victory - it's easy to express caring on such a lovely and supportive forum, and you've been here since I joined nearly 2 years ago (good grief 2 yrs:eek:) and so you're 'family':D.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Raph -I'm glad you treated yourself to the gadget: it's not like you bought it at the beginning of getting fit which is so easy to do - buy all the gadgets and then never use them beyond the first week - you have now more than proved yourself committed to exercise and activeness so it will be well used.
    I think congrats are also in order that you worked really hard to clear your debts and are now able to save and buy yourself the things you choose. A real MSE success story:T:T

    :o:o Oh you're making me blush :p yeah I can justify the gadget as I know I will use it. I've really taken to running so it's something I'll keep up.

    Congrats Scottish Lass!! Well done!! :D

    Just to let you guys know, I'm not finishing work til 10 pm tomorrow, so chart will be up as soon as I get home. Well done on the losses so far.

    yay scottish lass! i would say that calories burned on guitar hero depends what you put into it. Nervously pecking away at stairway to heaven won't do you any good. think blur, song 2, thats what you wanna go for!

    1lb loss this week.

    Tesco are very good for apples I find - they don't dry out as quickly as apples from other supermarkets and generally taste nicer.

    Congrats Scottish Lass :beer::j:j
