I'm generally a pretty poor photographer. Here's sunset tonight in downtown San Francisco. It's about 60 degrees. Weather has been great the whole trip

Hello, This is really a rough situation you are in. A lot of us get it, and have been there, or are currently right there with you. IMHO you absolutely nailed it in needing accountability. Other ideas are motivation, fear, self-discipline, etc and quite often those all come and go easily. Accountability is where it is! It…

I would try not using the MFP app on your Pixel Watch. Try using the native treadmill function on the watch. When you are finished and stopped, have it sync it over to MFP.

Hello, I got another couple of runs in. My new Google Pixel Watch 3 reports I have 16 miles so far this month. This new watch has been screaming at me for a couple of days now "YOU ARE OVERTRAINING, MIX IN SOME RECOVERY" What do I know? It seems a bit laughable. I am going on a quick holiday up around…

Nope, I didn't see a trap bar. I did Smith machine RDLs instead. (as I'm typing this I'm thinking I should have asked, they might have one that isn't out in plain view...next time)

Hello all, two weeks into Dry January. I'm still getting better sleep, nothing significant. This upcoming weekend I'll be at a couple of social events, so that'll be a different challenge. Good luck, close to halfway through Jan already.

Yes, this is my experience too. On my android phone when I want to upload a picture the app does not work (as mentioned) so I open a chrome browser and log into MFP, then accessing it with the browser I can upload pics. It just seems broken. But this 'browser' technique is a workaround.

What's six years among friends. Very nice running streak! Alas the ticker functionality is pretty much dead. A few have their legacy tickers working somehow. Very nice to have you back @rusgolden

This is me. I'll look and see if my gym has a trap bar. I've tried a barbell dead lift, RDL, Smith machine deadlift, and landmine deadlift. As a beginner I'm using nearly no weight to get a feel for what's being targeted, and try to understand good form.

Dang @durden they have you running around. I'll email with some of my MFP issues instead of seeking suggestions and perspective from here in the community.

I do hope you get a full recovery soon. The full moon is beautiful here too.

I like flax, but sometimes chia feels a little slimy. Not enough to keep me away, it's just more of doing what it takes rather then really enjoying them.

Yes, that's pretty clear. :) I've read you before and I hope it keeps on working well. My eyes glaze over in conversations citing what we did two hundred thousand years ago. I've just started Sheldrake's book on fungi. He described how in 3500 BC Europe Otzi (the frozen preserved mummy discovered in 1991) had a pouch with…

Pete I have a suggestion. You clear stated a goal: comfortably surfing in ten month. And a means to get there that works for you, weekly checking in. Do that. Regarding the check-in, the doctor was paid, so there should be some reciprocity to have it work. My suggestion is to show up here for somebody else. Showing up for…

Hello, Happy Sunday. It's more pictures perfect weather. I hope everyone is making due with all the snow. It's pretty...and heavy to shovel. Today was in the neighborhood, just starting close to home. 2.11M at 14"33

Yes, messaging is difficult. I won't try to qualify science as 'real' or some other category. Real scientist disagree on results. These anecdotes from doctors and @craigheon are compelling. A person in my life is giving her anecdotal support of trying a carnivore diet. I'm listening to these anecdotes and trying to stay…

Thanks for thinking about us out West. I'm fine and it is nerve wracking how it's very clear, warm, dry and beautiful in San Diego, yet so close by it's Armageddon. As a teenager I was able to spend some time with a friend at his parents' big old mansion in Pacific Palisades. I'm grateful for that opportunity, and aware…

I'm still grappling with the fanboy doctors who eschew the value of fiber and the other 99.8% of those in the healthcare world who see it as important. I'm keeping open minded, though "grappling" still. Congrats on getting started, and dropping some lbs., I hope it works out for you.

Smart move. Bon Appetit!

I pray you still have one leg after that. Sounds Like Toronto to Perth Australia.

I made it through nine days. My exercising has increased, and sleep still solid with my tracker. How's everyone else doing in their Dry January?

D'oh, sorry, that sounds disappointing. I keep a lot of my old trend data. I hope they are able to restore yours.

Big goal, I like it. We're about 1/3 of the month in, where are you in this?

Storing/owning user health data is where the money is. Apple Health is where Apple stores and controls all our health data. Other apps like MFP, scale companies, Strava, Garmin, etc, used to own and control their users health data and still do a little bit. The trend is for an iPhone user to be able to see, access, and…

Hi @Carla31581B, do you use a Fitbit? What model do you have nowadays?

What is your running challenge for yourself this month? Will you post your runs here?

It's been a good week....but I have to lay off the water, I've been drinking that stuff like a fish! I have a little sleep tracker I use, and all week I've had higher scores...I think it's related. How are you doing after this first week?

Two more runs in: 1.81M at 17"19 - Monday 2.19M at 17"07 - Today I've never lifted weights before, and I'm trying that out. Pretty fun so far.

Hey, I see you joined the weekly weigh-in group. That's great. Once a week checks motivates me and keeps me accountable. I hope you'll post.

Yes! staying level is okay. Happy New Year to you. In most of the USA it is a deep freeze. (21 °C/70 °F, here where I am in California)
