  • Kind of the same boat for me. I have Body Media that does the same thing but it does count moderate activity. Now I never see it count things like walking to or from the car to go into the bank or something like that but if I walk around the mall or something like that it does count it. It actually amazes me at what it…
  • Thank you both. You both confirmed what I was thinking but just was not certain.
  • Great job and nice bait on the topic title. I guess I also can't wait to be overweight. ;)
  • I enjoyed this thread and all I can add is that I hope to same day get around to getting into the gym so that I can add something useful to this discussion. I will be the large guy in the zebra looking pant outfit, btw.
  • This a great piece of advice. To many of us take the all or nothing approach and that is just plain silly. One screw up does not mean to abandon ship. If you are the sort of person that does bail out after you screw up no matter how big or small then I would copy and print that top post and hang it somewhere where you will…
  • I think you are so correct. I just replied to a topic about this but I was thinking more of myself than someone at 1200 or 1400 calories. I am I am a big guy. I am not embarrassed to tell you that I am currently abut 380lbs but I do feel shy to say that I am expected to eat about 3200 calories a day based on my exercise,…
  • I struggle with it as well. I mean I have switched to overall better more healthy eating but there are days that I am scratching my head thinking that it is crazy that I am still this far under. That is mostly after a nice walk where I will pick up 700 to 1000 exercise calories but I don't panic. I mean I make sure that I…
  • I honestly think this is most likely the answer. I know that once in my life I did Atkins and just like you said I did have great success. I am a big guy and I have lost over 100lbs three times in my life. While I lost pretty decent with Atkins, it was not one of the 100lbs times. I just found it to be a really…
  • I really want to knock on wood before I write this but I am just going to tell you what I have seen in my own daily readings over the month. At the beginning of December my doctor doubled my does of Metforman. That went the way it went for two months and my daily readings did not respond at all. In fact if anything they…
  • I'm in the minority. I like a pretty honest weight so my home scale is not going to do it for me since I am so heavy so I weigh in at the doctors office. I just feel like so long as I keep my clothes about the same then I know what I am losing. So for me it is a pair of shorts, pretty nice and heavy shoes, shirt, Droid…
  • Boy do I hope this does not sound stupid but I am wondering what the real benefits of adding friends is? I mean I get that you want a group of people for motivation and maybe I am, actually I am sure I am, ignorant to the whole concept of adding friends. So if someone would not mind telling me, if I added someone as a…
  • From what I have read you need to make your img tags lowercase. Should work if you do that. I would say that first thing is that you need to switch your goals from losing weight to maintaining if you are happy there. Then you need to add goals like workouts or even just steps in a day. A lot of people seem to be most…
  • I have nearly always been a bigger guy. I played football in my younger years and moreover I played the offensive line so size was part of the equation. I have always been most comfortable about 60 or even a little more pounds over what any chart would say was ideal for me. I am 6'3 and I carried my weight most of the time…
  • I am so confused. 106lbs gone, 48 KG lost, 7 and a half stone fat lost. My head is spinning. I never even grasped the metric system other than using tools but posts like this are going to make me a genius. ;) J/K - great job!
  • I have CD but I don't think that my symptoms fit the normal person with CD. I mean I go though bouts with the stomach and I have plenty of bathroom issues but since my pain is not so bad I still eat the wrong stuff. :( I do know that when I cut carbs I start feeling a noticeable difference. It it is just that I have rocks…
