    that's a long read and frankly, too much information!

    personally, i think that calculating this or that, analyzing things/numbers constantly, weighing things all the time just zaps the enjoyment out of living healthy and is what makes people stop all together because it's just way too much work all the time. making exercise part of a daily routine is hard enough for some and to throw in all this homework every day all the time? way too much and confusing for a lot of people.

    yes it's important to watch what you eat, have some goals for yourself and exercise regularly but when it gets down to what was posted above, even i get bored just looking at all that information and i'm an fitness freak. i prefer to use this tool as a reference/guide but i also listen to my body; i know what works for me and what doesn't. calculating or analyzing numbers/info won't make you lose weight - it's putting your fitness plan in action and sustaining that long-term will. i lost all my weight and hit all of my fitness/weight goals without all of that because i listened to my body, cut out all the junk from my diet and exercised regularly and i enjoy this healthy living.

    apologies of this seems a bit ranty but fitness doesn't have to be this complicated. eat well, move daily, BE PATIENT, learn to see this as a lifestyle change and you will see results.

    But....some people actually enjoy the number game. Those of us who are analytic in nature thrive on numbers ;-)
