Interesting. We have about the same BMI and I have to say that the pic in your avatar you look a lot slimmer than I feel. But that's not any of your workplace's business anyway. Are any of these people that are criticizing, well, fat? If they are, tell them you are just as concerned for their health because they're too…

My sense is that the amount of calories it gives you as credit is very high, like maybe twice as many as it should. If I work out I allow myself to go a little over my target, but no way do I eat all those calories back. For instance, last night rode my bicycle for about two and a half hours and "earned" 1,987 calories,…

Doesn't realize how much fun playground equipment can be.

Free associates a little too freely.

Posting actual pics makes it easier to know who to flirt with. For the record, my avatar is me. That's right. Me and my chicken. In case you're curious, someone gave me the hat to wear because it was my birthday. The next week I handed off to someone else, but the hat soon disappeared. The picture was taken by a friend of…

We all want to be on the path to skinny!

Has a tattoo of an iPhone on his face.

I guess I should have specified Normal WEIGHT. Don't worry, if my internet persona is a guy with a chicken on his head, I can endure some teasing without trauma.

Wow, that sounds so neat. You look like you had a wonderful time.

Get well! At least this should improve your riding, right? I broke my arm riding earlier this year and missed a month and a half; no way I'll make my annual goal. But I'm glad to be riding again.

Friday the Thirteenth = thirteen pounds lost!! I suspect at least of pound of that is water weight that will creep back on (I did a pretty vigorous bike ride last night), but since it matches with the day, I'll take credit for it.

Has an itch.... right THERE.

I'd like to lose another 30 or so. That would take me into the "Normal" range in BMI. I know people argue how valid BMI is on an individual basis, but it seems to work pretty well for me. When I go from Normal to Overweight, I can feel the difference in terms of lack of energy, etc., and when I go from Overweight to Obese,…

Thank you. I try to always have a camera with me when I ride. I'm on a website where you can submit no more than one picture daily (blipfoto.com), so I'm always on the lookout for my next blip. Right on track!

I did another low carb diet, the South Beach, a few years back. It worked good. The one thing I remember is that low carb works best for those who store fat in their belly, and is less effective if your fat is stored in your thighs. If you follow it pretty closely, especially the first phase, you'll have a good idea if ti…

Posts at just the right moment. :\

Maybe the UK is different, bu requesting ice cream lovers who aren't serial killers in the US would be asking too much. ;)

I'm neither but I just find the combination kind of humorous because at the local vegan restaurant, raw food is the furthest thing from what they serve. Most of their dishes feature tofu, seitan or tempeh highly processed to try to duplicate meat. My wife (who is vegetarian, not vegan) wanted a simple veggie stir fry and…

I'd get a rescue dog. I'd have to see what is available. When I say rescue, I most likely mean going to the pound or PetSmart or something like that, not a rescue organization tied to a breed. But if we didn't find the right dog, I might go to one of the specific breed rescues. In fact, I really couldn't get the same breed…
