  • My new bike, purchased August 31, 2013. It's a 2013 Marin Muirwoods 29er. I love it. Much more comfortable than my 1991 Miyata Elevation (whose photo I posted here before). I'm going distances I never could with my old bike. I think this is a good transitional bike towards a road bike until I lose enough weight. I actually…
  • I created a Facebook page to help motivate me and for support. Call it a cheering section or accountability. It's new and I'm developing as I learn. It has some before and after photos from previous weight loss attempts and more to come. Please check it out and Like or Fan it if you chose:…
  • I'm not recommending the scale I have. I bought it because I ran across it at the local Bed Bath & Beyond, it had a high enough capacity to weigh me, and it was cheap.

The biggest thing MFP or similar sites/apps do for me is to make it easier to eat consciously -- to always be aware of what I'm putting in my face. Otherwise, my tendency is to nibble. So much so that I reached a…
  • Unless their goal is to gain muscle and are eating the calories needed to support building that muscle. Weight gain or loss isn't always fat gain or loss.
  • I still have over 150 pounds to lose before I reach the goal I've set. I expect my food and my caloric requirements to change as I get closer to goal, depending on how fit I am, how active I am, and how much muscle I have. Having never been at said goal weight in my adult life, I suspect even that will change. MFP tells me…
  • Hi Everyone, I'm working on losing about 160 pounds more. Everyone is welcome to friend me. John
