Great conversation. I had a discussion with my wife about this last night. Thanks for the info.

Congratulations!!

When I saw the picture of you playing poker, I thought "Wow, that is Annette ...". Celebrities on the site. Congratulations on your journey.

My daughter won a Jawbone Up, the older model, and it was too big for her so she gave it to me. It is the model that you need to manually sync with a phone vs. Bluetooth. It seems to do OK. I am not sure of the accuracy of it. Yesterday, I ran 5 miles and then walked around a convention center for about 90 minutes and it…

Just remember this - you are lapping everyone who is sitting on the couch. Also, is it no an oxymoron for people to laugh. If someone is out of shape, that is exactly the person that should start a running program. If they have a problem with someone overweight, then they should be cheering a person who is doing something…

If you are able to handle the day-by-day fluctuations, I would suggest daily. If a daily weigh-in can have fluctuations then so can a weekly. Going day-by-day, you can see an overall trend. If you do it once a week, you get less information. For example, if your real weight is 150 but your weekly weight is light do to…

About the heavier people not sweating. I have an unproven/untested theory. You really have to be in good shape to work a really good sweat. From my own experience, if I am out of shape, I wear out before I can get a really good sweat.

For activities not in MFP, I wear a heart rate monitor, select "Circuit training, general" and adjust the calorie burn for what the heart rate monitor states. Actually, I adjust the calories even for activities found in MFP. MFP tends to be a little higher than my heat rate monitor.

I love number one. Had the same thing happen to me and it is nice to wear some of the shirts that were given as gifts.

Cut the grass in the backyard with my shirt off.

You increased your vertical leap by 3 inches. That may be all mine is :-)

Bump

I do 5 minutes of light work on an elliptical. Kind of wakes me and gets the heart rate and adrenaline going. Then I run or lift. Allows me to stretch also with a body that is at least slightly warmed up.

Good job!

I have pretty much the same problem. If I see food and it is available, I will likely eat it. Your comment “Simply avoiding the issue doesn't solve it” is pretty interesting and thought provoking. My figuring is to almost treat like alcoholism. Today, I am going to eat well and avoid situations that may cause me not to do…

I like every morning and have seen a lot of posts of people on MFP that also do so. There is a theory about weekly because your weight fluctuates each day and you will get depressed with the highs and lows. But does once a week really tell you anything. For example, if you weigh in on Friday at 135 lbs and that weight is…

Sounds like fun. Count me in.

Salsa and chips. Because of that, I am not fond of going to Mexican restaurants because I have no self control when it comes to salsa and chips. And, if you eat what they set down, they bring more.
