I use Map My Run and while it does show cals burned, its still not as good as a heart rate monitor. If Im walking its turned on. Granted, I like to look at numbers. lol http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Congrats! You must be tall because no way you look 200 lbs. Im just about to hit 380 days in a row and I am the same as you. I logged everything no matter what. Good or bad we still ate it. You can "forget" to log all you want but the scale wont lie for us. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished so far. As…

I walked for the first 9 months I was on MFP. I lost in the 70+ lb range just walking. 2-3 miles a day 4-6 days a week. Sometimes longer, sometimes less. The past 3 weeks I have: Walked AVG 6.25 miles per week, Jogged AVG 11 miles per week, Biked 23 miles per week. I also will also go out twice a day some days. Even if its…

Its just the size of the pics are to large. Need to shrink them down so they can place nice in the forum. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

I will also agree wtih the OP, I love my FT7 99% of the time. lol Hands down has helped me along the way since there is no guessing on what I burn. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Is there a copywright on the logo?

Shrink your pics then repost them. This place doesnt like anything big. :) Congrats! How great of a feeling is it to get on the scale and see you lost 100lbs! When I did it, I was expecting fireworks, strippers, key to city, but at least my son gave my a high five. lol You should be very proud of what you have…

First congrats on getting out. 2nd, you have 2 kids that Im sure look up to you. If you feel (quote above) then your girls will see this. Do you want them to think that this is just part of life? NO, you dont. Get up, dust yourself off, and realize your doing all this for YOU. Without YOU, those girls have no one to look…

Im just shy of 54 weeks in and tbh other then my HRM, nothing. My brain doesnt work that way I guess. In all reality, I shouldnt have let myself get that big. 6 months from now and its still off, then I might revisit this idea. lol http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Use the search function here, I remember a post not to long ago just about this. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Go get a bag and eat half of it. Why deprive yourself of yummy goodness. Then just exercise off what you eat. It really is that simple. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Agree 100% and its hard to explain to someone that feeling till you do it yourself. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Who cares about anyone else in that race but you. I would 100% do it just for the simple fact when you planned on doing your first one you will have a better understanding of what you can do. 12 min mile is not bad at all and tbh thats about where Im at now after 4-5 months of running. Just start off easy and build from…

Why hasnt anyone made one yet? Only thing I see is there isnt a logo decent enough size to appear on a shirt. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

I was in the same boat. Now that I had an idea what to expect, I really want to run the next one. lol http://freew67.blogspot.com/

And speaking of KY folks getting healthy... http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/10/health/rucker-weight-loss-race/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 He is from Lexington and a MFP member. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Not many people actually live there, just visit. :) We used to frequent Dale Hallow and I think London was the exit we always got off of... I think. lol

You got a crap HRM then. The machines HRM are kinda a joke. Just search the forum shere for HRM or heart rate monitor and there will be 100's of post already on this subject. Good luck! http://freew67.blogspot.com/

When I first looked at this title, I was sitting back in my chair with my legs propped up. All I saw was, "The kindness of strippers." Well Im going to click on that... OH strangers...opps. lol There are some good people out there in the world. Prob is, the media doesnt like to talk about them. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

What a change! You look great and should be very proud of yourself. You have done something some folks only dream about. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Im 53 weeks in and this week Ive been walking/riding after dinner. Some of my neighbors didnt even realize it was me. I started at 340 and about 310ish is when I could really tell a difference. I got the, your face looks thinner, blah blah in the start but I look at this ugly mug everyday and didnt see it. For me, one day…

I need to lose 100 lbs, is Tuesday ok for you? :P That is one thing I wish I would have done, was light weight training through all of this. 53 weeks with basically no lifting shows. lol http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Im down 110 lbs and have some loose skin. Not a ton but some. I lost on avg 2 lbs per week over the past 53 weeks. Its going to happen if you carry a lot of weight in certain places (for me my gut). As runfatmanrun said, evntually it can return to normal. They say it can take 1-2 years depending on age and other things.…

Ive never been on a msg board that wasnt like this. Why you asking so many questions?!?! UGH! :) http://freew67.blogspot.com/

Well deserved attention Mark, congrats! You can count me in. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

I agree 100% with that comment, and I approve this msg. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

I dont see how chewing gum would help a noob out. I have tried it also and I spend time trying not to choke on it. I had enough issues to worry about even without the gum. As others have said, if you struggle with a week, repeat 1 day or the entire week. There is no shame in that because everyone is different. You take it…

That is something Ive thought about before. There are some great parks in Boone/Kenton to walk/jog/ride in. One of those who to go about doing it.

Just type HRM or Heart Rate Monitor into Search here and there will be 100's of post about them. http://freew67.blogspot.com/

What hours that are taken away now, gets added back in years later. Good look in Louisville! My wife has to work or would be there cheering you on. http://freew67.blogspot.com/
