You can do this.... Sadly, I know exactly how you feel. 800+ days in a row, dropped 40...gained it back. My mantra: log in/be honest/be consistent/be a little better today.

Caffeine....how I love you! I added a cup of coffee to my one-to-two juice meals per day and it made all the difference (I think!). So, if I ever am compelled to do a true juice-only fast (five days, ten at the most), can I still have an espresso in the morning or does that defeat the purpose??

I'll place that in the "other" category! Thanks.:smile: :smile:

Starvation mode? What is the caloric intake on a juice like I made? Can it happen that fast? And I was not betting on caffeine withdrawal since I am not a big caffeine consumer. Thanks

Most days I exceed my calorie goal, but I walk 4-6 miles 5+ days per week. With the FitBit adjustment I am almost always under my MFP calorie goal.

December 18 update: after YEARS of taking Prilosec OTC every day for acid reflux/indigestion I stopped taking it Sunday (three days ago). So far, I have not had any reflux....fingers crossed!

Thanks, I agree with what you all say. However, each would taste really yummy...maybe I should have BOTH!!

Thanks for your support, folks! Richard

I GOT THERE....199.5!

200.5 darn!

Nobody else has experienced this? I noticed that I get the pop-up when I go to the app through the short-cut but NOT if I access it through the applications.

Any Chap Stick-eaten/lip gloss calories are cancelled by the food flossed out of your teeth (as long as you rinse/spit!).

Thanks all for the happy thoughts!

Walking. I fast-walk (4mph) about 4-5 times per week. I slow walk (3mph with my wife a few more times). If I am feeling up to it, I run 1-1.5 miles a few times. I also bike. I use a FitBit and really try to add more incidental walking (taking the long way to places at work for instance.) I just joined Earndit. They sync…

Greetings, I heard back from FitBit today. Here's what they had to say; "I'm sorry to hear about your damaged Fitbit! I'm going to have you send me 2 clear pictures of the damage, as well as the answers to the questions below. * Where do you normally wear the Fitbit * How did this happen * When did this happen * Has the…

Thanks for the input. I just got the Fit Bit in July; what's their life expectancy? Richard

Thanks. I e-mailed them already and am waiting for their response. I DO hear good things about their customer service. Richard

THANKS for the support, folks!

Ahhhh...thank you! Come by and we'll have martinis on the porch; I'll wear my madras pants!

[ move to strike]

OUCH! Where I am from, madras pants are de riguer for summer outings!

Thank you, BTW, for the

You don't like my pants??

THANKS for the tag help...what did I do wrong??

Thank you for the reply. Will I need new clothes at my final goal (because they cannot be tailored any more) or will I just WANT new clothes? Richard

I do a four-ounce glass of OJ in the morning.; 55 calories. Have you replaced the orange juice with a healthier alternative? Richard

Thanks for the encouragement. Fortunately, I have been riding a bicycle for the last 12 years (don't ask me HOW I did it when I weighed 240+...!), so my legs are in pretty good shape. The problem is that cycling and running develop different leg muscles. I will have to be careful sand stretch...

Thank you all for the replies and support....looks like it's "steady as she goes!" Richard

All, Thanks for the insight, advice, and encouragement. Richard

Thanks to all for the positive comments.
