  • Thanks Wunderking. Yes, I agree, you are right. At the moment I am happy to create a deficit and as long as I don't feel crazy hungry I'm not worried about calculating the calorie burn from exercise at the moment. Next spring when it warms up I will be back on the water either in a pair or four boat, and that will be…

  • Some good thoughts there Coblujay. Photos are a nice idea, so I will copy that. Regarding exercise, I found the exercise part of MFP too difficult to make work for me, and it seems to be a means of giving me permission to eat more. So I do the exercise (in my case rowing machine and weights 5 days a week) plus whatever…

  • Hi guys. I don't check in every day, so just caught up. Some of the reaction to my slightly provocative post was expected. In my case, as I am the house cook and shopper, I don't see a problem with maintaining weight when I get to my target. Part of the reason for this is that for most of my life I was not overweight, and…

  • I disagree with a lot of the experience here. I think it is necessary to be very disciplined in order to succeed. I simply do not want to be fat. I have worked out home made meals, accurately calorie calculated, in sufficient variety to keep me interested, and I stick to those: no excuses. "Treats" are just lapses, and I…

  • Fully sympathise. I have knee pain to such an extent that I have to pull myself upstairs by the handrail. Or did. I started with a weight of 137.5 kg (303 pounds) and in the last 6 weeks through diet and exercise and hydration followed religiously, I'm down to 124.3kg, so a loss of 13.2kg (29 pounds). This fairly modest…

  • I weigh every day, and the scales record it on an app along with other statistics. Same time first thing every day, after bowel movement and naked. So it is consistent. As I am calorie counting and improving fitness (mainly with rowing and weights), I find daily weight check is helpful to make sure I stay on track. I don't…

  • In my case my wife sent me for diabetes tests and I am just over the edge for type 2. In anticipation of that I already started a free health and fitness programme near where I live called Counterweight. We are 6 weeks in and I've lost 23 pounds so far through diet and exercise. Calorie logging has been a helpful…

  • Nice to meet you too. I think we have a similar outlook. I shall have to look out for the green tick marks as I am finding the calories all over the place - so for example large hard boiled eggs showing fewer calories than medium sized ones. Best wishes, Adrian

  • Interesting that most of the hellos and introductions here get no response. Maybe this forum is not very active?
