It cheered me up if nothing else...

Thanks for posting this link Serendisglair (several pages ago, I know!)

Pls could forum fitness gurus help me with something?

What is the formula to work out my Body Fat Weight and Muscle Weight?

Say if I lose 1% body fat and gain 1% muscle mass, how would I work out the actual weights of those? I have tried playing around with numbers in Excel but it doesn't seem right

I have a new 12-week fitness plan and I want to track progress, because I'm hitting it in a big way there could be overall weight gains and if I know it's muscle and not fat that will really help me

Ok I may not be fully understanding this, but as your body fat and muscle weight is being expressed as a percentage of your total weight, then surely 1% body fat is total body weight divided by 100?? so 20% body fat on a person weighing 100lb is 20lb? Likewise 20% muscle weight on a person weighing 100lb is 20lb also.

then again I might be over simplfying it?

Thanks Suggs, that's exactly how I worked it out at first but the numbers seemed wrong, however, now I've read some more stuff I'm thinking they are right after all. My muscle mass is coming up as 50% heavier than body fat, I was thinking that sounded too much for a girl . I'll have another dig around tomorrow.

Anyway, I've worked hard in the gym today and yesterday and feel a lot better for it Thanks again Suggs x

Typing this on oh's computer as have just spilt a glass of ginger beer across my laptop. Actually, make that WORK'S LAPTOP. Spent the last fifteen minutes with a hairdryer on it and it looks okay - apart from I think theres a drop of ginger beer behind the ; key as it keeps typing them. It let me shut down okay so fingers crossed it's alive in the morning.

Ness, sounds quite awkward for you - can you make up a couple of emergency bags - a green and a red one? you could put tinned spaghetti, supernoodles, mugshots, fruit and ryvita minis in the green one and, erm . . . tinned sardines or tuna, fruit and ryvita minis in the red one. Babybels too if you aren't bothered about them getting a bit warm ( i'm a bit gross and have been know to keep them in the glove box, but not in the height of summer) Print out the syns lists and the super free list and the relevant hea and b list for each and stick it in too. Then you're always ready to go.

sometimes i'm so organised I sicken even myself. I'm off to find a red and green carrier bag so i can do the same.

oh no Bails! Will he have a cute little plaster cast? When !!!!!cats are poorly you have to cuddle them and feed them evaporated milk off the spoon. It's like chicken soup for cats. Well, my cat seemed to think so anyway. I hope he's okay!

Morning everyone:D H away so I am decluttering with a vengence:D now is the time to throw out all his clothes that if he was here he would not let me because they are precious to him:rotfl: :rotfl: H getting us a mortgage agreement today:eek: kids still off school:rolleyes: one more week to go, will take them out later for another stroll in the park, although all they really want to do is play the x box:rotfl:

We finally managed to get a result from Comet, freezer unfixable so they have decided to give us a full refund so we can go and buy one elsewhere, trying to make meals without a freezer is a challenge:rotfl: keep thinking i have got one still and think ' oh I will just get the chicken out of the freezer to make such and such and realise I have got the sauce etc but no frozen chicken, strange meals we would have:rotfl:

Off to the vets in a bit, looks like Sol may have broken his leg...:(

Poor Sol I hope that it isn't broken, give him a gentle cuddle from Auntie Pet ...

...Good luck re the mortgage Vic, DD is a mortgage manager at the moment and I hear of all the ups and downs on a daily basis. I'm glad I'm past that stage...


...MOT To write everything down is very basic advice but is invaluable advice. Someone here once said, 'you may foregt, but the scales don't' so very true ...

...Feeling a tad brighter today :j so may get back to the utility switching stuff before the dark clouds realise and descend again...

...Have a lovely day peeps :j

If it is alive in the morning KPC and if you do still suffer with sticky keys, it might be an idea to pop the key off and with a moistened cotton bud gently rub the affected area. The trouble is the sugar content of the Ginger Beer can cause problems Fingers crossed its all working

Already lurking there, just wondered which one you used,

..... depends on the terms and conditions of the offer. Playthroughs, stake returned or not, and loads of other factors determine which strategy to use.
