You look amazing. You are beautiful in your wedding dress as well.

Tim Horton's or bust!

When I read the topic the first thing I thought was "Everthing!". Luckily I have more sense now thanks to MFP. My current standby at our favorite place is the Mexican style tacos (meat, onion, cilantro, hot sauce on soft tortilla). I will also split chips and guacamole with my wife. I have also gone with the Taco salad,…

If you punch your height and 70 kg into the BMI calculator it puts you 24.5 on the higher side of healthy. Also...from what I see in that picture you look REALLY healthy. If you're really worried (since BMI isn't great anyway) figure out what your body fat percentage is. All you need is your weight, a tape measure and an…

New workout clothes/running shoes?

How much do you want for the dog?

I've got a Bodymedia Fit Link and I am very happy with it. It provides a consistent reading for consistent activities and also give me calorie burn on things I would never know how to measure like shoveling snow, fixing a leaking sink or doing housework. I was rebuilding my son's computer today in the basement and running…

Your daughter is so cute! Good video too. :)

I goofed that one up; read their description wrong. Try: http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx And read their explanation of gross and net burn so you know which number you want to use; they have calculators for both.

I used to pay $10 a month for Planet Fitness until I bought some stuff for home. Now I can do the Elliptical in the basement while watching streaming shows on Netflix. Can't see paying $40 or $50 a month.

You'll need to punch your numbers into a calorie burn calculator like this one: http://www.superskinnyme.com/heart-rate-calculator.html If someone else knows of one that they use and like they should reply and share the link.

I liked it the first time I tried it. I buy Oikos and Chobani all of the time at the grocery store. The fact that it's healthy just means that I didn't stop eating it when I started MFP. I feel bad for anyone who is forcing themselves to eat something they don't like because it's good for them. Favorite flavors include the…

My wife has three installed; I don't think she has a favorite yet. Endomondo Sports Tracker Runtastic Sports Tracker

I weigh every day because at my size every day is a crapshoot. Might be up; might be down. The scale varies every day but the highest weight this week is lower than the lowest weight 3 weeks ago. As long as I can show a downward trend over time I'm happy. I'm also tracking the measurements so if the scale stops but the…

Just added Greyhound from Swedish House Mafia to my list. It makes me want to move whenever I hear it.

Not sure how to help with the logging; there is no food scale and eyeballing food can be wildly inaccurate. There was another thread like this recently so do a search and you can read all of the suggestions. Things I remember from that thread: Start with the salad. Fresh veggies are always good. Tandoori chicken is…

Just reading that makes me want to gag. I can't stand the taste of Aspartame. I don't like the idea of my kids getting it at school without me knowing either.

My wife yells at me for watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Mostly because she gets hungry from watching it.

A week or so back someone posted a link to a youtube video showing a gentleman with bad knees doing DDP Yoga to lose weight and get back in shape. He went from not being able to walk without canes and braces to being able to run again. I watched the video and checked out the website after and then searched these forums for…

Ok, I just took a second to hop into your profile (you're gorgeous by the way) and saw you had one before and after pic in there. You are probably at the point where you are going to want to care more about how your clothes fit than what the scale says. I see you're already doing some JM DVD's and I'm assuming you're…

That sounds pretty normal to me. I weigh myself every day and see the scale go down or up by as much as two pounds day to day. It is just variation in water weight. When I put my total weight loss on the graph it's a mostly straight line that shows about 2 pounds per week. Some people don't like to seem the minor…

I had thought the Bodybugg was the old model/branding and Bodymedia was the newer branding. I guess I'll have to go find the Bodybugg site and see that I was wrong. I only looked at the Bodymedia site and they have the Link model and the Core Model. The Link model has Bluetooth and can talk to your IPhone or Android phone.…

Some places will offer sushi rolls made with brown rice which also may be a healthier option. Oh yeah...usually the reduced sodium soy sauce is right there on the table next to the regular stuff. If it isn't definitely ask if they offer it.

If you're interested in doing some online research look up capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers that gives them the heat. As far as I know it is supposed to suppress the appetite but I don't think it's been proven to aid in weight loss beyond that. Also note that there is a good chance your favorite hot sauce…

I've been wearing one for about a month now and I really like it. I'm going just put a bunch of info out there and if you have questions on any of it just ask and I'll try to answer those. When you connect to Bodymedia to your computer it syncs up to the computer; uploads the current data to their site, starts charging the…

Mine is the Body Media Link. I remember looking into the Bodybugg when they first came out and thinking...monthly subscription! The nerve of them! Fast forward a few years and I'm still fat and I've got some best buy gift cards from christmas and it's on sale for $120. Monthly fees don't seem so bad now. The longest drive…

I bought a smartphone. How's that for an odd "click"? I have a very nice Sole Ellipictical that both me and my wife use almost daily. She is in great shape but I either don't drop weight or I drop some and put it back on. When I got my phone I was just looking through the appstore and seeing what was free. I grabbed the…

Nothing came off last week then I weighed in this morning and I'm down another 2.5 pounds. That puts me at 2.41 pounds lost per week since I started 6 weeks back. I started off doing 1600 calories/day the first two weeks before I got the Link and realized how much I probably really am burning then moved to doing a 1000…

I have to say the Amiigo looks impressive (actually looks too good to be true). If that lives up to they hype when they ship them out I'll buy one for me and one for my wife. All of the data tracked on MFP and on the Body is helping to keep me motivated and that device looks like it would dump out a ton of data.

How long have you been using yours? I've only had mine a little over a month and the calorie readings I get from it have been consistent over time. As far as pounds coming off the scale was dropping faster than it should have the first few weeks then slower than expected the last two weeks. If I average the entire time…
