I have over a 3k login streak, but sadly it'll be coming to an end if they stick with this. I'll give them maybe a few weeks to learn from their mistake, but then I'm out. Plenty of competitor apps that still offer barcode scanning in their free offerings. No way I'll even log in to keep my login streak since I would want…

Agreed on all counts. I have over a 3k login streak, but sadly it'll be coming to an end if they stick with this. I'll give them maybe a few weeks to learn from their mistake after the backlash and re-instate it as a free feature as it's always been, but then I'm out if they double down and keep it. Plenty of competitor…

I'll be stopping using MFP and use another free product out there that still has a barcode scanner instead for my food tracking if you resort to taking away features we've had forever. So you can lose your ad revenue from me as well. Only way they'll reconsider is if there's a mass exodus from their free platform and the…

THIS Gained back some weight over the last couple years (still 70lbs lower than my highest I've been, so really only have 20-30 to lose at most to be solidly back into normal range for body fat% ). I'm at one of those squiggly line spots. ;) But knowing what I do and living my life based around the image above, I'm not…

If my profile pic isn't an indicator of my geekdom, then I dunno what is ^_^ Any in this thread feel free to add me if you'd like. :smile:

You too!?

Keep up the great work man! You reminded me of this picture. ^_^

Thank you for taking the time to watch and critique! Greatly appreciate the advice. :)

My wife and I finally were at the gym at the same time so I could have her take a video of squats and deadlifts for me so I could finally check my form. I would love any constructive criticism I could get for my form for both exercises. Squats: Squats Overall I'm relatively pleased with my form, but the one thing I…

June 2013 to June 2014 Didn't take a before back picture, but here's the back after. Full success story below: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1339941-1-year-94lbs-lost-lifting-added-on-month-8-lots-of-pics

So many replies! Once again, thank you all for all of the kind words, and new friend requests! I may not be the most active at actually commenting on other people's profiles, but I do try to when I remember to and have some time for those that are adding me as friends. You ladies complimenting me calling me "hot" are…

What I was doing when I first started trying to lose weight and get intermittent fasting down was making myself a smoothie with a nutribullet in the mornings if I just had uncontrollable cravings. My smoothie I would make (I don't make them much anymore because I really don't need to as I can easily fast for 36 hours…

It's funny that you ask that, because yes, actually I did go through an ugly duckling stage actually (granted I still consider myself in just a later phase of transition out of ugly duckling phase still haha). My wife even told me that I needed to get some muscle because she wasn't a fan of "skinny fat" (in a really nice…

:blushing:

Hehe, yea, complete geek here! I've refilled my wardrobe with lots of great geeky shirts! ^_^ One of my other favs is the many moods of spock.. Of course this pic isn't of me, just showing the shirt hehe..

Feel free, this information is there to help motivate and inspire! :) And HOLY CRAP the responses! I did not expect nearly as many replies and views in the entire life of the topic, let alone in less than 24 hours! Thank you all so much for the kind words. I'm truly honored that you all find my post inspiring! I appreciate…

Thanks all! It took some will power to actually go through with posting these pics lol....

I have many close friends and family who have asked me about what I did to have such success, and so this reply is mostly for them to help them understand my “secret” and how I had my success. If anyone else finds any of this information useful and helps motivate you, I would be honored to have had a part in motivation to…

I'm still well into my weight loss and journey to health here, so I definitely still have a lot to learn and sure as heck don't know everything nor will I ever, but from my own experience so far is it's not even so much about what you do as much as it is your mindset and finding the method that works to GET you to eat at a…

Holy crap, I never really realized that you were in MN haha.. I live in Shakopee only about 20 mins away from Minnetonka! Now I just need to save up some cash cuz I'd love to pick your brain with some Personal Training (need to work on my when lifting)! I also noticed you have a pic up at the Minnesota Renaissance…

You will do yourself a huge favor if you add these 2 groups and you follow the stickied information in these groups. It will take some reading and some effort on your end to stay motivated following the information provided in these topics, but take things slow and try not to add on too much too quickly or you'll end up…

Going out to buy some new gym clothes and realizing I'm down to a size medium gym shorts (which is kind of strange because I never would have thought a 6'2" person could ever be in a medium anything and have it fit properly and look ok lol).

I've only been lifting now since January 13th. I've been starting to notice visual changes already a little over 3 weeks later. I started at 24.7% body fat (using military body fat calculator at http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/), and as of last night 22.8% (1.9% difference). Starting weight 206.5, and ending weight…

Heh, it's the quantity and frequency of intake my friend. There's been enough studies to show alcoholism is a physical addiction, but yet there's plenty of us that have the occasional drink and don't get addicted. How about Vicodin? There are those that need to take Vicodin occasionally for certain non-chronic pain who…

While I agree from the standpoint that yes you can lose weight in this way looking at it from a pure caloric standpoint, I do believe that there is a possibility of addiction based on the link I posted earlier to Fat Chance: Fructose 2.0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceFyF9px20Y). I also base this also off of how I feel…

I beg to differ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceFyF9px20Y Unless you can provide more scientific evidence than is shown here. Those stating that sugar doesn't have addictive qualities, I would love to see your scientific proof of studies that have been done. aaaaaand to prepare for what replies ensue after this...

I finally made the addition of weight lifting to my lifestyle now that I have the nutrition side of things completely habitual. Complete nerd here (Nerd Card can be seen by my profile description for those that are interested in reading). Anyone feel free to add me if you are also a nerd! :bigsmile:

I would have told him, "I will do what you won't today so I can do what you can't tomorrow." and walked away :P hehe ok, maybe not cuz it's kind of rude, but it still sounds good hehe!
