Starting from scratch this morning. Huzzah!

Original Poster here. I'm not getting emails with responses to forum threads. Didn't realize there were any responses here until I looked. Thank you for the input, seriously. I will read through every word as I have time this weekend. I have not been tracking food in my diary, only workouts (it's easy, I use Endomondo to…

That is a huge difference. Well done. Keep at it!

I do.

Diet is definitely not a good word. Life change. That's what it is, that's what it has to be. If I don't make it a life change, I'll die of a heart attack ("very high cholesterol") before I even have grand kids.

I'm here for the same. Friend me.

I love my Polar FT60. I have been using Polar watches for about fifteen years. Their technology is really, really dialed in! The FT60 uses many different data points to determine as accurately as possible how many calories you burn during a particular exercise session. It also has a feature called "OwnIndex" that is also…

The best/scariest words I've ever heard from my doctor after my physical: "You have very high cholesterol. Like heart attack now range. If you don't do something you will die young."

Good morning!

Good morning! 55 minutes to burn, got started a few minutes late. Dang it I ate too much yesterday. Stressful days suck me into eating mode.

Go get it!

Finished. 582 calories lighter.

Thanks folks! Pound on me!
