Congratulations on pending nuptials. I've sent the friend request and I'll do what I can to help motivate you. Getting onto MFP is a good first step.

From everything I've read, the ones that do not use a strap are inaccurate.

I recently purchased a Polar FT7 from Amazon $67.00. I purchased it over the FT7, which is $58.00, because it can store the last 99 workouts (the FT4 only holds about 10). And if you workout with a machine that has a polar label on it, it will automatically read your heart rate. NOTE: If you buy the FT7 from Amazon, check…

Only plain old water should be counted as water intake. If you add anything to it, including crystal light types of powders, it shouldn't count.

At night, after the kids go to bed. I used to just sit down and watch tv and with nothing better to do, I'd start thinking about food and end up eating til bedtime.

What an unbelievable transformation. You're an inspiration for us all.

Hello there fellow metalhead...I love seeing the Manowar references on MFP. I'm only a few hours from their base of operations and they get little respect in the US. Currently listening to Five Finger Death Punch, Motorhead, Black Label Society, Dirty Looks, Stone Sour, and whatever else is on my current playlist. I'll try…

I'm working my way there...you're giving me hope with the pics...I can't wait to get there with you.

How can he possible resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence.

You need to remember that everyone is built differently. We gain weight in different ways and we lose weight in different ways. Don't let this discourage you and look at the bright side, you've lost 50lbs. The bigger question is, how do you feel? That's what really counts. The pride that you should feel because you've…

Feel free to add me. I've had an on again/off again relationship with eating healthy and this time around, I've been doing it since mid January. I'm trying to work on my wife to do the same so we can set a good example for our kids.

I recently purchased flax seeds and I simply put them in my yogurt. Do you think you can do the same thing with Chia seeds?

Thank you everyone for the information. After taking a further look, I've decided to go with the Polar FT7 and see how that goes before getting the flex as well.

Wow, I hope they taste as good as they look. I think I'm going to have to make them soon.

I feel very lucky...I didn't have a problem with my thyroid, but they found a huge nodule on the left side. After consultations concerning the nodule and the sheer amount of nodules on the other half of my thyroid, I decided to go ahead with having the whole thing removed. My biggest fear was that I was going to have…

I run the board on Hard Rock and Metal, whatever I find that I like I listen to and whatever I don't like I just delete...mp3s are so awesome for doing that. The band I really love though is Manowar...MANOWAR KILLS!!!

Please stop being someone you're not on MFP!

I run into the same situation when I have to go on an airplane. Just throwing out to you what I do...Eat Low Carb, cut out alcohol, sugary drinks, etc, drink lots of water, and exercise. If you haven't been cutting back and exercising to this point, the first (about) 10 lbs will be water weight anyway, so you should lose…

If we only ask questions, who will give us the answers?

Black String Cheese

It all varies on you and what number you want to use. If you weigh yourself in the morning...yes, naked...you'll have your lowest number for the day. At any other point during the day, you'll probably weigh more...like when you go to the gym or the doctor...although if you're naked either of those times...:bigsmile:

I hope we get some other answers to this as well because I tend to be confused on this question. I would think that you would want to weigh it after being that is the weight of the food that you are actually eating.

I'm in Mercer County. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Amazing transformation...Congratulations!!!

That is absolutely awesome!!! It's great motivation for anyone, but especially for someone who's had their struggles. Keep it Up!

That is awesome!!! The pics really show how much you've changed. Keep it up!!!

I'm in Jersey as well and just got back onto MFP. You're doing great on the weight loss and I hope you keep it up. It's a struggle for us all. I'm debating getting Great Adventure passes this year being the kids have never gone. I'm in the same boat as you about going there. You're more than welcome to add me as a friend.
