  • On my program I weigh-in once a week, on Sunday mornings. I don't even own a scale. I find it keeps me from obsessing over daily fluctuations.
  • My goal weight, which puts me in the "normal" BMI range (I'm 5' 9", male), is 175lbs. Long way to go.
  • Holy bleeping bleep! What an inspiration! I have to make the same journey as you.
  • I got the fitbit one. The pedometer part is pretty accurate, giving very similar results for similar activities on different days. The "stairs climbed" function on mine seems to go off the deep end once in a while. However, stairs climbed are not counted towards calories burned, so I can live with it. The sleeping monitor…

My first computer was a VIC-20 (with 16K RAM expander, eventually), and my first typo was made on an IBM punchcard in…
  • Easily the Battle of New Caprica S03E04. That jump to light speed from inside a plummeting, fiery Galactica. Awesome.

  • I'll be all over this.
  • Thanks for the encouragement! For me failure is not an option anymore.
