    Anyway good luck with your weigh-ins everyone!!

    Hi Everyone! I've been MIA from the boards all week as I've been out of town for work. Kept up my exercise though...and made everyone walk an ADDITIONAL 3-4 MILES every night after the Manager's Reception :blushing: ! I may have some coworkers avoiding me a future outings!!

    There are so many posts, could someone briefly tell me what and when we are supposed to report in???

    Thanks much guys - and keep up the great work!!!

    Hi Purple Reigners,

    So....I have been kind of nursing a tweaked ankle this week and i have managed to get only one workout in thus far. I do not want to be a drag on my teammates though so I am gonna get one in right now and I have a workout tomorrow also. So hopefully I will get at least 1500 extra calories in, in the meantime I kept my calories pretty low till i could get back to my regular schedule.

    Thanks to everyone for you stellar efforts, reports of success, and general comraderie. It is really encouraging.

    All the best PR!

    Question for my Purple teammates. Do any of you see a difference in the number of calories burned between what's on the website and what shows on the actual machine? I've been going at least 45 minutes on the elliptical at my gym, but the calories burned shows way lower than what the website says. Do I use the calculation from the website or the machine? Is the website's calculation based on your current stats?

    Thats a tough one. The best bet is to try and score yourself an HRM, but most of the machines have a way to input your info and check your heart rate so my guess would be to go with the machine.

    Hello my friends!
    This was my message to SommerJo today, Friday weigh in:
    My weight as for today morning, Friday is 233.9 lb.
    Unfortunately I can't exercise as I have a bad gall bladder situation and I am before surgery, also I am suffering from extreme back pain. I walked a little this week, but no way I am allowed for more than that for now.

    Good luck everyone!
    GO PURPLE TEAM!

    Good morning.

    ~Seraph1120~ MFP bases your calorie burn on your age, height and weight. Gym machines are off, but just by a little. Quick Start readings are based on a 150 lb person, machine doesn't know if you are overweight or not. You can use the age and weight settings on the elliptical, but, IMO it's better to use the heart rate grips several times throughout your workout to see if you are reaching your target heart rate. That reading can also be off by a few points, but will give you greater insight to what you may actually be burning caloriewise. Also, please consider the effort you are putting in to your exercise.

    I actually GAINED 0.3lbs.. Here's hoping it's just muscle, my clothes aren't feeling any looser yet and i've been doing this for 3-4 weeks now, exercising at the gym, 30DS and TRYING to eat as well as I can without totally restricting myself to the point of misery

    So far this plan to lose 20lbs before Oct 1 isn't working at ALL. :/

    Looks like i'll have to just start eating salads with grilled chicken on them forever

    Down almost a pound, .8 to be exact. Haven't made the calorie burn each day. Been dealing with vertigo for the past 2 weeks and finally went to the doc yesterday. Hoping my PT appointment today helps out. But with keeping my meals in check, I am happ yto be at a loss!!

    I only started with MFP on Monday (well, officially on Tuesday because I signed up on Monday night) and I'm already down 3.5 lbs and have burned 2,682 calories! I can't wait to see what happens next week when I actually have 7 days' worth of data. :) Having to log my every bite has really kept me accountable!!

    GREAT JOB TEAM PURPLE REIGNS!

    Yeah Team Purple! My name's missing but no loss yet. Lots of calories burned though. Crossing my fingers that it'll show up for next weeks weigh in.
