I took mine back. The body fat number is garbage. Different every time. I think the scale weighs low too. Hardly worth the money to save me three button pushes to log my weight.

I prefer to snort mine off of a stripper, but I guess almond milk works too.

I still have flashbacks of the humiliation of failing gym class test because I couldn't do a single pullup. Never have in my whole life. I tried to use the assisted machine today... Couldn't even do one with max assistance. Just sad.

Motivate me? No. But it's nice. Let me tell you something I saw at the gym today that motivated me. This woman, I'm guessing in her late fifties early sixties, jumps up and grabs the pull up bars on the cable machine thingy. She snaps off a few pull-ups, no sweat. I'm impressed. Then, she flips up vertical on the bar, does…

Personally, I'd be getting real cozy with my friend the treadmill this afternoon. Then eat a moderate dinner, book the overage, and do better tomorrow.

Bluetooth headset is your friend.

I love the eliptical. Some of them even give me a glute burn like squats do. Easier on the knees. I like to do intervals on it.

For normal activity and steady state cardio? Accurate enough. For hiit, no.

Perhaps you are not afraid to lose, you are afraid to fail. You are afraid that if you give it your all and don't lose, you will fail. So you sabotage yourself. Don't fear failure. Failure is life's best teacher. The only people who never fail are those who never try. Try your best, learn from your mistakes, and move on to…

I just went to the doctor with a similar problem. She said she thinks I have bursitis. Have me a steroid shot and a time release anti inflammatory. Told me to keep doing yoga and weights, but to avoid cardio with repetitive motion on the joint for awhile (which is pretty much all cardio right?). She recommended swimming,…

I'm going to two different parties thrown by friends of my wife. Health nuts, so the food won't be a problem. I may be the only guy there through. I will tell my wife she owes me some "cardio" when we get home. See how that goes. Lol

I recommend eating out of a dog bowl on the floor. Each pushup earns you a bite. Then you go do your toilet squats. I also have the shower head installed 9 feet high, over a pullup bar. You have to do a pullup to get your hair wet.

My guess would be dehydration. What color is your urine?

I am going to take mine back. The body fat feature is a joke. It is several points different every day. I do like the automatic syncing with mfp, but it is hardly worth $150 to save me a few button pushes.

I have one at home. It was recommended for my diabetic mother in law for her neuropathy. The only remotely weight loss function it has is it does help relieve soreness.

I'm doing one in October. Let us know how it goes!

Anyone got some good complementary back exercises?

I have a fitbit charge hr. I love it. My whole family and many friends wear fitbit, so we compete for steps which is fun. The hr feature makes tracking cardio automatic. I find it acceptably accurate. I also prefer having a display. I've gotten used to having a watch again. I like the caller ID feature, and never use…

I prelog, but frequently call an audible at the line of scrimmage if something else catches my fancy.

I've been fat so long,v I don't even know. At least 50 more, maybe as much as 75.

I tend to disagree (for me anyway) with the start small changes advice. I guess I tend to be an addictive personality, all or nothing type. I'm a month in to my weight loss process, and I've invested in a fitness tracker, a gym membership, running shoes, clothes, etc. Not to mention time and effort. I feel invested now. I…

Ah, the night of 1,000 waterfalls. Been there. Keep a book or your phone near the toilet. I finally just stayed in there.

Someone got me a fitbit aria for my birthday. I like it. I step on in the morning and it automatically sends my weight and body fat to the fitbit server, which syncs with mfp. I would have never bought it, as it is pricey, but I like it.

1. Replacing eating as a response to stress and boredom with exercise. 2. I find planning my meals out the day before helps me stay on track. It's easier to make a good choice a day in advance than when I'm hungry and the food is right there.

I just started doing yoga. It is great! Works your core, increases flexibility, gain upper body strength, reduce stress. Highly recommend it.

I'm picturing someone laying a boob on a food scale to determine how much it weighs...

When I lost seventy pounds a few years ago, I remember just being shocked one day at the mirror from just looking at my face. Obviously is a gradual change, but it can sneak up on you!

I would go bat crap crazy if I was a woman. Men's sizes are in actual quantifiable units of measurement. Women's sizes seem to be whatever the hell someone feels like that day.

I shudder to think how many calories the "butter flavored kaola gold" we cook with at work has. I keep a can of cooking spray to grease the pans when I cook for my own consumption there, but for example, and omelette has three or four small ladles of oil in it!

I figure I don't need to Google things and go to quack doctors. If they ever invent the miracle fat melting injection, I'm pretty sure I'll hear about it pretty quickly.
