Beautiful, inspirational, lucky husband.

Anyone like the Fitstar option on the new Fitbit tracker?

I am not familiar with the membership offer. I didn't use it. I am careful in my judgement against it although human nature is frequently to take advantage of others.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I admit to being too absolute in my thinking. Although I will make concessions in what I eat when the social pressure is too high, I am most comfortable with restricting animal products, refined carbs, and oils while loading up on vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and legumes. I have…

I'm pretty closed minded to all you haters. I have tested Fuhrman's ideas and found them to work. I hoped to get support from others that had found success as well as share what has given me so much hope and success.

That is where I first heard him talk. What he said made sense. I bought the audio book and his encouragement and validation of nutrition principles has changed my life.

I don't know of their relationship except that Dr. Oz wrote the preface for Dr Fuhrman's book Eat to Live.

Face is full of emotion/expression.

I started with the six week challenge from Eat to Live and ended up losing 58 pounds in two months. I recommend eating more plant based food as described by Dr. Fhruman. I avoided animal sources except for fish. I changed to almond milk. I ate a lot of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes. I never felt hungry but…

Thank you for being here. I have read Dr. Fhruman's books Eat to Live and End of Dieting. They have motivated me to be better at controlling my eating choices. I started the 6 week challenge from Eat to Live back in October. In the next 8 weeks I lost 60 pounds. I was a new person. I got too comfortable with my new fitness…

I have read two of Dr Fuhrman's books and have purchased a third. I have gone four weeks of the six he recommends for a beginning trial, eating strictly as he proposes. I have lost 30 pounds, or about a pound a day. I am very motivated and have experienced many wonderful improvements in my quality of life so far. I intend…

I thought it was due to our upper body strength advantage. Which is not much of an advantage any more. Hence women are on equal ground.

Interesting how people come across as mean and judgmental from the tone of their posts. I think that without the body language to go along with the words we miss a lot of the cues in the communication process. On the other hand it is dis-inhibiting to communicate this way.

Great detail. Thank you. It is easy to buy and regret later when the item is not what you really wanted or you hear about something better. Thanks

Interesting in the vivofit. I will check it out as well. I assume it will automatically upload to myfitnesspal like fit bit does.

Wow, thanks for the great info. I am really interested now. It sounds like what I need to gain visibility on my lack of activity.

I watched him lecture for a couple of hours. The lecture motivated me to purchase the book.

Under Settings and then fitness profile I have selected sedentary with the thought that I can add things that I do that are above and beyond that level of activity. I still do not count things like cleaning the house or cooking, as I feel that these are what I have done all along without results. I would advise against…

Inspirational. Thank you.

I think that the program is designed to let you eat extra when you have extra activity. Of course this will not be accurate if you are not accurate on you calorie intake record, or if your basic activity level is less than you selected when you calculated your BMR, or if you are over estimating your activity calorie burn.…

Thanks Jo, I will check it out.

Let me know what you think.

I had the same question so I decided to do exercises between sets using a different muscle group. So I will go from bench to curls and back to bench. I seem to get a lot more done and keep my heart rate up. Another thing I have done is do 100 jumps on a jump rope between sets to keep burning the whole time.

Without this feature I could not stand to stay on MFP.

I would like someone who will support me in the same ways. Please add me.
