Just getting back in the groove with MFP after a long absence, so interested in getting back where this is part of my daily life.

2/12/2013 - 2.32 miles on the elliptical 2/13/2013 - 2.32 miles on the elliptical 37.18 miles down and 62.82 miles to go.

There are odorless, non-burp versions of it, but two things I've found that work pretty good with the non-odorless versions is taking them with a meal and storing them in the fridge. It's a good idea to store them in the fridge anyway as they will keep longer than being out in your medicine cabinet or kitchen pantry.

1/29/2013 - 2.32 miles on the elliptical 1/30/2013 - 4.64 miles on the elliptical 124.51 miles down and 49.51 over my goal. Also finally broke through the 24-hour mark for the month and I'm sitting at 1555.5 minutes. Don't know if I can match that in February, but glad that I was able to get it done in January.

I'm going to shoot for 100 in February even though I think I'm going to start doing more lifting/strength in the gym to shake things up to get past a six/seven-month plateau.

2.62 miles on the elliptical today ... took a break yesterday. 117.55 miles down and 42.55 miles over my goal.

1/23/2013 - 6.96 on Elliptical 1/24/2013 - 2.32 on Elliptical 1/25/2013 - 2.88 on Elliptical 1/26/2013 - 4.64 on Elliptical 114.93 miles down and 39.93 over my goal. Also closing in on 1440 minutes, a whole day, of exercise for the month ... 1,418.5 minutes. Next trip to the gym should do it.

Tough to say the best ... Genesis - 2nd leg of the ABACAB tour Al Stewart - Russians and Americans Tour Styx - Grand Illusion Tour Whitesnake - Liquor and Poker Tour America - Silent Letter Tour Triumph - Texxas Jam Elton John - The World Tour and plenty of others ...

1/19/2013 - 4.32 miles on the elliptical 1/20/2013 - 6.96 on the elliptical 86.53 miles down and 11.53 miles over my goal. Also, in an NSV, just passed 1,000 minutes of working out this morning. My goal, set in MFP, is to do about 30 minutes three times a week or roughly 90 minutes a week or 360 for the month. In checking…

1/17/2013 - 2.68 miles on the elliptical 1/18/2013 - 4.64 miles on the elliptical 75.25 miles down and hit my goal of 75 miles. The rest of the month is all gravy from here ... so to speak.

1/15/2013 - 2.33 miles on the Elliptical 1/16/2013 - 3.9 miles on the Elliptical 67.93 miles down and 7.07 miles to reach my goal.

Nearly a pound and half a week over a 8 weeks is nothing to be disappointed over. That's putting up fairly good numbers. Keep up the good work. With regard to BMR, you should probably try to avoid going below that. As someone else mentioned, calculating TDEE and then shaving off 20% is a fairly decent rule-of-thumb…

1/8/2013 - 5.26 miles of Cycling and Elliptical 1/9/2013 - 3.73 of Elliptical 1/11/2013 - 2.32 of Elliptical 45.37 miles down and 29.63 miles to reach my goal.

4.66 miles on the elliptical this morning. Will probably try to head back to the gym later on tonight depending on the game progress. 34.06 miles down and 40.94 miles to reach my monthly goal.

Been busy prepping for the semester and daughter's Nutcracker performances. Made it to the gym, but just haven't posted in about three days, so catching up on that today before the last performance: 1/3/2013 - 4.64 miles on the elliptical 1/4/2013 - didn't work out, but did manage to hit a 13 floors record on FitBit for…

5.5 miles this morning on elliptical and a little cycling. 16.28 miles down and 58.72 to reach my goal. Thinking about going back to the gym a little later on tonight. Will need to see how the schedule works out for the rest of the day with the new semester looming next week and meetings and kids' activities cranking up…

10.78 miles on the elliptical and cycle to start the year. Hadn't planned that much, but when I got to the gym, the ellipticalls were all taken. By the time one opened up, I was already about 9 miles in on the cycle. Guess I'll just have to get there earlier next time.

2.91 on the elliptical this morning. 109.12 miles down and 59.12 miles over my goal. In a recap of the year, I was able to put up about 692 miles which I'll take considering the year also included a triple bypass and surgery for abdominal bleeding. Toss in 3 months away from the gym during football season, and the 692 is a…

5.59 miles on the elliptical and cycle this morning. 106.21 miles down and 56.21 miles over goal.

Shooting for 75 miles in January. Will hopefully end up with more, but not sure what the month will look like with the new semester starting up ... so many of my December miles came after I finally got semester grades posted.

12/27/2012 .... 2.33 miles on the elliptical 12/28/2012 ... 5.15 miles on the elliptical and cycle 100.62 miles down and 50.62 miles over my goal.

2.53 miles on treadmill and elliptical. 92.14 miles down and 42.14 over my goal.

Just got a FitBit for Christmas yesterday from my in-laws. Used it yesterday and today for about 24-hours of tracking. Seems to do a decent job so far, although I've only been using it for about 24 hours. Tracked sleep last night and it seemed to be accurate on waking/sleeping estimates. Calorie burn on elliptical seemed…

This sounds like a good idea. Take over a salad and tell them that you wanted to be part of things by pitching in. If anyone says anything about not eating the chili, you can claim that you are saving your calories for the Christmas Day meal and trying not to let all of your hard work that you've been doing go by the…

5.02 between cycle and elliptical this morning. 89.61 miles down, and 39.61 miles over goal.

14.33 on the cycle. 84.59 miles down. 34.59 miles over goal.
