I started logging my "binges" and waking up about 3 months ago. Believe me, they were ugly. But once I told myself "I am logging everything.. no matter what", my binges got fewer and when I did binge... it wasn't really that bad. Now if I want a treat like donuts, lots of pizza etc... I plan for it and log it still and…

I am in for 100 miles. Have to travel a lot and I want to set something I can reach. Great challenge and thanks for doing it! July 2014

Great Group! I just started to be able to jog again yesterday. (I am a walk / jog kind of guy right now). This looks like a great motivational group!:drinker:

Great reference post.

June 2014 - Great challenge and thanks to everyone who works so hard on this!:drinker: Total for June: 134.0 miles Final

Excellent. thanks for the info! This gives me some realistic expectations to shoot for!

Not only are you an inspiration, but you really write well too! What an awesome post..... You motivate us! :smooched: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :smile:

This is a different take... If you have a lifestyle where you work at the same place every day, don't have to travel, have control over your food at home, then I really feel that someone can get totally "in tune" and stop logging. But, for many of us with schedules that change daily, travel, etc. etc. etc. - Logging…

322,418 Steps for June That is averaging 12,400 per day. :smile:

Thanks guys - keep the entries rollin' in! :drinker:

Thanks it is all good! Looks like I have some work to do LOL!

If this doesnt get people off their @ss and start moving...I don't know what will.Fantastic job!

It's that darn Sulfur atom! LOL

My biggest one is get a good digital scale. Get a fitbit and learn to sync with mfp. Log every single days...even on days where you eat a lot for a special occasion..the habit is crucial.

for reference

This is a good common sense post! It took me a long time to finally understand that HRM's are only good for steady-state cardio and nothing more . Weight Training is a whole different animal and your "rule of thumb" for calories is a good way to go about it. The "long term" gains from weight training are immeasurable.. but…

Walked a lot on vacation! Total for June: 110.7 miles!

These posts are fantastic. Congratulations! :drinker:

Everyone is doing a great job. I will be on vacation for 5 days... but I will take my fitbit! :smile: Have a great week!:flowerforyou:

Walking is awesome by itself and it stands "on it's own"! I like to run also and I am staring to walk 500 steps / run 100 steps. I am going to continue this until I get more "running endurance".

Great Post - The thing that I like about MFP that there are all sorts of different ways to exercise. It is about getting outside of your "comfort zone" {{{ heads to make a total fool of himself doing burpees }} :smile:

Also - This advice is sound and worth considering. There are many people here who genuinely want others to succeed. Good luck to you :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

HI! Thanks for posting on here... it really is the first step. Here is some good news... you don't have to eat so little to lose weight. Please start reading some of these links and realize that food is your friend, it gives you energy, and that a slow and steady weight loss is the way to do it. Keep it simple find a…

I have found some really good things in this thread from just about everyone. I think that 99% of the people here would not be on MFP if they didn't want to make a change. Some people have more "tools" to do it than others. I really like how the them of "self responsibility" keeps bubbling up!

I am a "fitbit one" guy. 14,000 Steps per day average 420,000 for the month of June! 1-Jun 22049 2-Jun 21183 3-Jun 16492 4-Jun 10171 5-Jun 10689 6-Jun 7117 7-Jun 11036 8-Jun 14878 9-Jun 17038 10-Jun 12130 11-Jun 9735 12-Jun 9136 Total 161654 - Average 13471 - Need to up it to meet my 14000 daily average!

Slow and steady wins the race

I was normal sized as a child and teenager. Grew up on junk food - McDonalds, Burger King etc. etc. etc. Was only once at an ideal look/weight during my adult life and have always been hanging around 25%-32% body fat... Basically "chubby". I have been yo-yo "dieting" for about 20 years going from 200s down to 180 and…

This is a good one!
