  • Thank you all for the comments, now that we know its not a side effect of drinking more water, I will grab some Imodium and go from there. The smart bottles just track how much water we are drinking, they don't filter the water at all. We probably have not been washing them enough, and will increase that. Thanks again for…
    in Anyone else had this problem when increasing water intake? Comment by RobertCotton June 2019
  • Just the other day, someone threw something out of their window and hit me while I was cycling. I think he was mad because he had to wait a few seconds longer at an intersection because I had the right of way. As I passed, I could just see the look on his face, then when I heard him turn behind me, I thought he might yell…
    in Anybody ever get heckled while running or biking? Comment by RobertCotton July 2016
  • I have found a routine that has worked for me the past couple days, it seems like a good solution. Thank you all for the suggestions, I think what is going to work for me (as a couple people here suggested). I am going to treat the gym as just an extension or overtime at work. I take a gym bag with me to work in the…

    in 1 million lbs lost on mfp.....can we reach it??? Comment by RobertCotton June 2016
  • If that website is even close to accurate, then I am burning 622 calories during a normal strength training session which for me last about 50 minutes.

  • Good luck, you can do it. I am in the same boat. I lost 110lbs about 6 years ago and now have put it all back on plus about 17lbs. I started losing again about 3 months ago and have lost 22lbs since. My motivation is that I am getting close to the age that my father was diagnosed with diabetes and my last checkup my doctor…

    in ONE WORD to describe the person above Comment by RobertCotton May 2016
  • I see all these message threads like "what would you do with the person above you", "would you flirt with the person above you"...etc. I was beginning to wonder if this WAS a matchmaking site...lol. I too am married and I am here just for tips on losing weight. I avoid any unwanted messages by using a profile photo with me…
    in Guys on MFP Comment by RobertCotton May 2016
  • 1. MFP suggested 2500 at my weight to lose 1lb a week, but my doctor said not to go over 2000. so most days I am between 1800 - 2000 (thats before exercise, I didnt know to eat back exercise calories). 2. I am doing cardio of some type (walking or riding) 7 days, and just started some strength training as advised by the…
    in Where is the energy? Comment by RobertCotton May 2016
  • Planet Fitness does not allowing some lifting because they believe it intimidates other people in the gym. While doing the lifting that it does allow, there is no grunting allowed or dropping the weights. Their slogan is "No gymtimidation" and they call the muscle heads "lunks", they say no lunks allowed. Havent you seen…

  • I am more into cycling than running, but the research I did showed that both cyclists and running rated these headphones up there with the jaybirds and they are a better price. 66 Audio BTS

  • I would go with the Garmin Vivoactive HR + GPS that is being released on May 2nd. It can also be paires with a chest band HRM down the road if you decide you need more accurate HR data.
    in Gps/HRM Comment by RobertCotton April 2016
  • The new Garmin that is being released on May 2nd has an optical HR but will also allow you to sync it with a chest band for more accurate data. I actually dont like the feel of the chest band, so I am going to pair it with the scosche armband hrm. The new Garmin also has a builtin stand alone gps, great for cycling.
    in Fitbit or Garmin? Comment by RobertCotton April 2016
  • I was looking for the same thing. I wanted the best of both worlds. An activity tracker for every day steps as well as an accurate heart rate monitor for spinning and indoor treadmill, I also needed a gps for cycling that I love to do. I decided to go with a 2 part combo. I got…

  • SW: 347 CW: 334 GW: 220 I have lost about 14lbs over the last 90 days, no one has noticed yet. I am 5'11", I have noticed that I can fit into some of my pants that were too tight before.
    in When did people notice your weightloss! Comment by RobertCotton March 2016
  • I still fit everything I want in, just in moderation. I used to go to Krispy Kreme doughnuts and order a 6 pack for myself. Of course doing that, I couldn't sit and eat with anyone, they would be appalled sitting there watching me eat 6 doughnuts. I still eat my favorite doughnut, but its just one now with coffee and…
    in What was your unhealthy dishes you stopped eating Comment by RobertCotton March 2016
  • If I am not having fun, I wont do it consistently. Since I am near 4 nature preserves here in Florida, I walk the trails as much as I can. They vary from 3 miles to 8 miles, but of course you can do them more than once. I am an amateur photographer, so I try to go on as many photo walks as I can, they are usually slow…
