Robot? What the heck is that? Sounds so science fiction-y.

So I'm kind of annoyed. According to my BodyMedia FIT and MyFitnessPal, for the past two weeks, I've been posting an average deficit of 250 calories a day. And my weight hasn't budged one bit! Bah. Stupid scale!
I am no longer annoyed by not showing progress all the time.
Take last month for instance I burned 88341 calories and consumed only 21334. That is a calorie deficit of 67007.
A pound of fat is 3500 calories, so when I divide 67006 by 3500 I see that I burned 19.44 pounds of fat.
Energy is not free, Just like you can not drive 200 miles on a 100 mile tank of gas, you cannot follow the program without long term positive results.
I spent almost two weeks last month at the same or near weight, but over the whole month I lost 18 pounds, pretty close to my calculated weight loss above.
Keep working hard, make progress every day and try to realize that daily scorekeeping can give you short-sighted disappointments.0 -
For a few months, the weekly weigh-ins are pretty consistent in showing lost weight, the way Compudad's arithmetic worked. At about five months, as I started getting closer to my goal, the weekly numbers were more erratic, but the monthly numbers are still pretty accurate. The difference seems to be edema, where my body holds onto much more fluid, and after a couple of weeks, of very little or no loss, releases the fluid for a very quick weight loss. The math still works out, but weight loss is not linear. Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing, give it extra time, and the results will be there.0

@ tyrannanora...I am glad to inspire. Good luck with surgery you will do just fine...walk, walk, and when you are done walk again...it will help you feel better so much faster!!0 -

It's the da-vinci robotic system it serves as the hands for the surgeon they manuever everything it is supposed to be much more precise with no tremors, less pain, etc.

Hey everyone! Things are going okay with me but today I had this revelation that my job is literally killing me. I'm totally convinced it's my job that's kept me from healing my post-concision syndrome.
So I'm going to try harder to find a new one.0 -

I've been doing really well since I went on Topamax. :laugh: I was really struggling before. MFP really helped once I came back here though.0

One is at 7:00 cst the 1st Monday of every month and the other one is at 1:00 cst the 3rd Thursday of every month. Message me if you want the information for this meeting. They send out reminder emails too. You mute your phone if at work and cant participate. Sometimes on Thursday's I just listen because I am busy at work. If nothing else they help me to keep my head in the game.
New here, and a firm believer in support groups. Can you send me the info?0 -
Mollie! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!0

I am here lady MacMadame :-) I have have had some very challenging times this past year so not able to support as much. My Mom has been fighting cancer since 2005 and is now terminal. She still may live a few more years with chemo so that is encouraging. She has already lasted 2 times since they told her she would be on chemo off and on for the rest of her time left. The chemo will stop the tumor from matastizing. (not sure on spelling)Mollie! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!
Anyway now my Dad had a nasty fall and will have to have knee surgery and he did a lot for my Mom so now my sister and I will have to step up to the plate now. Other
So that is the short story. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! 0 -

My A1c has gone from 7.0 in August to a 5.3.
Since Christmas, I have walked 218 miles
I feel good.0 -
