  • Leftover pizza and eggs for breakfast today. It was hard not eating the pizza with everyone else last night, but worth it this morning. The carbs really helped fill me up.
  • Ha, seeing you post this reminded me of something totally unrelated to food: my dispatcher both nights this weekend was kgonzalez. . . I thought of you!
  • Stuck with breakfast over the weekend, did well. Got into some good action both nights at the PD which helped quite a bit with the "bored hungry". Got some encouraging news from the Chief. Side note, bacon has a ton of calories. MFP significantly underestimates this in several categories of bacon. Just be aware if you like…
  • Breakfast today was. . . substantial. That's the beautiful thing about proteins, I suppose. Very filling, and if the past is any indicator, it will help with hunger during the day. I am also going to a weekly weigh-in to perhaps take my mind off of it so much. We will see. I know all of this looks really wishy-washy, but I…
  • Trying to find that point has been . . . . Elusive. I suppose additional restriction is going to be needed. If that's what it takes. Could be. Total intake was pretty solid around 1200-1500 per day, regardless of frequency. This is what my wife keeps saying. I really don't think its anything medical. I am up for my DOT…
  • Yeah, that is definitely a more "even" way of doing things. You can still end up with the variance though; look at consecutive Friday, Wednesdays, whichever suits your fancy on the above graphs and you still see the spikes and valleys. Maybe it's water and will go away, maybe not. It's just frustrating. I have hard targets…
  • I don't get it. 324.2 for two days in a row. Sunday wasn't awesome, but I only ate once. Two ham and cheese sandwiches and two bowls of tomato soup. Saturday was worse, I ate three times. I had two egg McMuffins for breakfast, a Big Mac meal for lunch, and a half dozen wings for supper. BUT, I worked clearing trees all…
  • Yessir, I notice the same. It usually takes a couple days for me to recover from such antics. . . Up a pound today, probably because of the aforementioned sleep pattern. .
  • It's gonna be great.
  • Unfortunately, my experience was trial and error as well. I had a severe dislocation in high school and probably bought 6 different braces before I found one that was just right. Had to wear that sucker for six months, three with a cane. Good luck finding a good match, when you get the right one, it makes a world of…
  • I'm clear on all points. My primary reasoning for sharing that I was toying around with a modified plan was to head off any future criticism concerning my loss. NOT from the people already here, but rather those who drop by to not pick everything that does not fall exactly in line with their notion of "proper" eating…
  • So, I made it a whole week (7 days) with NO up-ticks. Even over a weekend. A big deal for me, especially when you use the graph as an inverse indicator of my mental state over the last month. . . Which would be pretty accurate. Here's to hoping February looks a little different! Interesting mental difference when you…
  • How bad is it? If you truly need support, you have to remove some loading from the knee it self. As such, some loading must transfer from upper leg to lower, bypassing the joint. The only way to do this is with a brace that has attachment points above and below the knee. There are different styles for different stability…
  • Missed it by two days. . . 319.8 this morning! Goal for February is 30x.x. Might be a bit lofty, but we will see.
  • As the batteries start to die, there can be swings. It happened with mine. There are lots of variables concerning placement and number of sensors, type of sensor, substrate hardness, foot position, all kinds of craziness. When you are as big as I am, it's worse. All electronic operations have a margin of error expressed as…
  • Hey, that's about double mine! Very nice!
  • 320.2 Can I meet my goal of <320 by the end of the month? Stay tuned....
  • Nice work!
  • 321.4 today. . . Thanks all for the kind encouragement!
  • I suppose that is the way I should look at it. ;)
  • 323 on the nose. If I could just get under 320 for the month. . . . Geez, this is hard to look at.
  • Nice job Kitty, your willpower is something to behold.
  • Bahahah, I forget about the time disconnect. . . It's 1117 here. . . So cheer up! You have an hour to go, I have seven! :D
  • Well, it's doing a fine job. . . 325.2
  • Oh I'm clear, I just find it hilarious that they take such "serious" steps to prevent malnutrition. . . "You had better eat right, or we won't lie to you about how you will weigh in a month OR let your 'friends' see how many calories you ate!" L.O.L.
  • Yeah, I'm confused too. . . I don't know if I can do 1100, but I will try. I am freakin starving now. I may have to break that into two meals or do it for breakfast. I like dinner with the family, but I will be eating coworkers before long. . . . Down a tick to 324.6 pounds. MFP takes undereating pretty seriously. . . :D…
  • 324.8? Hmm.... I did have TWO plates of Taco Salad at Mom's yesterday, but nothing crazy. Other than that, I was really good. Probably some sort of abnormality due to sleep.... :# Worked Friday, got called in on Friday evening (3 hrs sleep), most of the day Saturday (6 hrs sleep), all Saturday Night, and most of the day…
  • Killin' it!!
