I'm getting an Omron in the mail today. I'm interested to see how it compares to the BF% I've been getting with the hand held at the gym.

When I started, I set up 45 mini-goals (milestones) for my journey. At the beginning, it was a great way to keep me motivated. While I still have those goals and still reward myself for them, I'm not dependent upon them to keep me going. My rewards for hitting these goals have also changed a bit (though I never used food…

I slept on my back last night. That was the first night in a LONG time I was able to do that without waking up to lower back pain because of the extra fat weighing my center section down.

I'm a woman. I agree with you.

I've been craving venison since I hit a deer with my car last weekend... I've only ever had venison in a stew or jerky.

I just finished the 10K Trainer this morning!! I start half marathon next week :smiley:

Yes I will log. It's just another meal.

I'm 5'6". My starting weight was 270.8 and I am currently at 166.8. I set my goal at 145.8. When I hit this point (and probably before that) I will shift my focus from looking at my weight to BF% and recomp. That's my current plan, but I have changed my goal several times on my journey everytime I have changed my mind of…

My plan is to change my way of thinking. I am no longer considering these food-centric holidays. To me, these are family/friend-centric holidays. The food is just another meal that I will plan for the same way I do any other meal throughout the year.

You can lose weight without exercise, but you're probably not going to get a six pack without it

Highest: 270.8 lbs Current: 170.8 lbs Goal: 145.8 lbs

The bolded part was kind of my point.

How did you know that you prefer your own culture without the opportunity you had of experiencing another culture?

I started on Weight Watchers, but didn't like their new program, so I switched over to MFP. I overlapped MFP and weight watchers for a while. I only logged on MFP, but at that time I was needing some face to face support, which weight watchers provided for me.

Congrats on this victory and being a positive roll model for your boys. Keep up the great work!

I think part of the problem is we grew up in a world full of "magical pills" and "you must cut out this/out only this" and "listen to the 'experts' to lose weight fast". Counting calories is just too simple (hard, but simple). Because it is not complex or a fad, people don't believe it. I didn't believe it for a long time,…

When you consume calories doesn't impact your weight loss. That being said eating right before you sleep may inpact your quality of sleep (just like going to bed hungry may impact your sleep - I think it depends on the person). Getting quality sleep is important to your overall health. If you are sleeping fine with eating…

Just plain oats. I do not like sweet in the morning.

I've never tried it with onion...I don't know if I would like that.

I kind of disagree with this. I rarely feel hungry. The biggest difference for me is I don't freak out when I get hungry and feel the need to eat everything in site to compensate.

Rhythmic gymnastics, which includes hula hoops, is already in the olympics.

I said eating calorie dense foods continually can make it a habit as a rebuttal to you saying they will automatically eat it if it denied to you. It was meant to show the opposite extreme of what you were stating. Because both those extremes CAN be bad. Again, I never said that I don't have calorie dense foods in my house.…

When did I ever say that I do not let calorie dense foods in my house?

Again, I never said anything about "unhealthy foods". I said that I would not enable an unhealthy lifestyle. Please don't mis-quote me.

Welcome and good luck with your journey!

Feel free to add me.

This might sound weird, but I put a spicy BBQ dry-rub seasoning on mine. I love it. (I don't like sweet in the morning)
