  • We are exactly the same height and weight atm. Feel free to add me. I set up my first goal for 150lbs though... 125 is where I'd love to be once I get to 150.
  • Thanks for the feedback. I should go to the doctor, but I am also certain I already know the answer. I work 8-10 hours a day on a concrete floor standing, and am seriously overweight. I keep saying I should just go to the doctor but havent gone yet. I appreciate the feedback on stretches... I will try those. However, I…
  • The flex did not do those things, which is why I upgraded to the Surge. The device is preprogrammed to recongize several different workouts including elliptical and weights. It also does heartrate 24/7 if you wish, or only during workouts if that is your preference. There is also a GPS feature, but I don't use it as I'm…
  • No worries, I am eating enough. I try to stick to around 1600 calories a day, and sometimes I go a little over that... I have started meal planning dinners, but doing that for lunch might be something worth considering as well. Thanks for the advice, guys. I appreciate it.
  • I had a Fitbit flex, force, and now the surge. I love the devices. As stated they're not 100 percent accurate, they are not waterproof, and you do need to remember to charge them... but If you like seeing numbers to help you along I highly encourage the investment. I am by no means a runner... or even a regular gym-goer.…
  • Thanks for the response Segacs. I work at the Home Depot. It's true I get my steps in (usually about 11-15k) and I lift things like cement bags and lumber all day, so yes, I am lightly to moderately active already. I have myself as "lightly active" here on MFP. Each day I am eating a small bowl of oatmeal for breakfast,…
  • I took it, and saw major success with it. I also managed without it when it was time to stop, and I didn't even step down from it... at the end of 2 months I just stopped. Yes I experienced dry mouth, and it took about a week to adjust to sleeping... but I found the energy I needed and developed the eating schedule and…
  • I'm 5'7" Currently 257lbs (started at 273) first goal is 220, current final goal is 150. If I actually manage to reach that number, I'll aim for 125-130 and see how it feels.
  • I'm surprised I didn't see my car mentioned yet... it screams I'm a mom, but that I still like some luxuary... 2011 Chrysler Town and Country in a Smokey Black color Hubby drives a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty in a Tan Color I'd like to own this: In purple, of course. [EDIT] Picture of the van was too big, found a different…
  • If its counting steps on a log drive, place it on your non dominate hand and put it into sleep mode, once you arrive put it back to normal. You can then set an activity under "logs" for that time that you were driving, and do not wish the steps to be counted. I love my flex, it really got me moving once I could see how…
  • I think ya'll eat a lot better than I do ;) Cantaloupe Red Grapes Steak Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (I can't stand white meat) Bread Thin sliced sandwich turkey thin sliced cheese (usually Sargento brand) Wheat Thins String Cheese Pepsi Maxx Amp Energy (I get one of these a day, it's my "treat") Ground Beef (as lean…
  • Dunno if it's been shared... Recently found this site.... Gonna start making some of this stuff and see how it goes. http://www.skinnytaste.com/
  • I'm 5ft 7in and started at 273 lbs, lost down to 205 due to medical stuff, gained back to 262 and now I'm currently at 238. My goals are near yours, 150lbs is about where I expect to be, but maybe I'll be able to keep pushing by then to get all the way down to 135. Anyways, my doctor had recommended no less than 1800…
  • I've done both. Early on in my efforts, I set my level to total couch potato, and was struggling to walk at 2.5mph for half an hour. Staying under calories then was hard. I saw a doctor, who assisted me with diet and fitness plans, and also provided a prescription for Phentermine. (Appetite suppressant drug). After that I…

  • Here's mine... just a band, no real engagement ring, which I am totally ok with, as I love this one, and finding one to go with it would have been tricky.
  • I used to work at Burger King... Mine wasn't so bad. 100 percent on all health inspections. Only thing that sucked was the management and the pay to work ratio... the food however, was always fresh and tasty. I went there twice now and had the satisfries. I like them better than the regular fries... (Of course I didn't…
  • Alright... only did 4.5 miles yesterday, but makes it 49.3 total thus far. Thanks for doing this, love the spreadsheet!
  • Hi! I'm new here, and a little late... can you add me for 200 miles? I try to walk at least 3 a day and then between retail work, and biking I'm sure I'll hit more... So far in October I have walked 18.8 and biked 26. I hope that's how this works.
  • Hello everyone... While I am not new to MyFitnessPal, I restarted my attempts at weight loss about two weeks ago and kicked it off with the purchase of a fitbit flex. I find that just having numbers helps me reach my goals better. Anyways, I thought I'd join in here... I started at 272 lbs back in 09. in 2010 I lost to…
