Really!? You want to see pictures of my arm pit?

I know it is hard to believe, but there are people out there for whom "losing weight != success".

I am amazed. Both a tape measure and a scale are measurement tools. One measures mass (or rather the effects of gravity on a given mass), and one measures linear distance. Neither one can possibly "lie", however they can *both* be used incorrectly and inconsistently -- just like any tool. A quality tool will reduce the…

I think "cuties" are not worth it. They are listed in the MFP database as cuties or clementines, but they are oranges about the size of a ping-pong ball -- and 40 calories -- each. Are you kidding me!

I notice you are still here. So... not following your doctor's advice?! Hmm?

Thank you. After you said this, I realized I was using my latest "diet-to-date" data, instead of the last 3 months. The weight change was for 3 months. But the food/exercise data was wrong. Calories: 178824 / 90 = 1986 CHO/FAT/PRO: 51/28/21 Chol: 263.1mg Sodium: 3223.2mg Fiber: 32.4g Exercise: 88 TotCal: 41427 TotMin: 7213…

So this says that my TDEE = 2627.8, right? ( ( 21 * 3500) + 373230 ) / 170 ( 73500 + 373230 ) / 170 ( 446730 ) / 170

I exercised 164 days out of past 170 days. How strenuous, 8.1 cal/min = 6.3 METs, so moderate exercise.

Thanks for the input. Several have said, "you can use math". Yes, please provide the formulas.

You log your food/exrecise in MFP, right? That is where this comes from.

Can you provide a reference? Or, if not, explain how you came up with this answer?

^Exactly this^

The BIGGEST thing I learned was... ME. (But I'm getting smaller)

Have you tried Sworkit? https://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/115

OP, you forgot the rest of the topic. I think you meant to say "60 lbs before the summer of 2015". Right?

Yes.

No one actually "gets over" a life without banana pudding. You're in denial.

I took a day off, making a three day weekend. Threw my cigarettes away and walked for three days -- all day. While walking I thought about what I would do with the extra years in my life. After three days, my legs were sore, but I was a non-smoker.

Quick "Google" shows that if you are in California, the nursing home will set you back $300 a day. So... the cruise ship is looking better and better.

I think I know what you're *trying* to say, but... "Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun, into chemical energy that can be used to fuel ..." Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

Nemesis? That darn diary!

The OP specifies "maintenance" and I'm not yet, but this sounded interesting. I went so far as to evaluate my entire food diary. The numbers before the entries are the number of instances in the log. Looks like breakfast and lunch on work days. 158 Carrots - Raw 149 Coffee - Brewed from grounds 145 Thomas' - Hearty Grains…

Not a pediatrician -- a professor of pediatrics. Huge difference.

Do you have a reference for this guideline?

Hamburgers. Real ones, made at home. Work it in, people.

Weight often and let mathematics smooth out the fluctuations.

I agree. Here is an example. You can see the daily weight measurements fluctuate quite a bit, but math smooths it out. If I just looked at the first and the last, they are the same. But, looking at the trend shows progress. Sometimes see that progress is the only thing that keeps me doing the next day.
