May 28th and May 29th Green both Days! I have done 22/27 days green this month. According to my estimates I will average about 10-20 calories (Chevy Style) for the entire month. This means that keeping track of my total calories for the month really works. If I have some enormous red days, I just don't "forget about them",…

May 2014 Update May 30th 79.5 miles - Did some more running and a long walk before 6:00 AM

Great Explanation! - Cleared up some things for me! :drinker:

It is all coming together! I will post the first 6 day challenge (June 2-7) sometime on Saturday May 31st. I hope that everyone meets their goals. Nothing like a little competition when you feel like slacking! :smokin:

I have had a fitbit zip and a fitbit one. Fitbit zip 1. Too easy to get lost 2. Hard to read 3. Does not take into account elevation changes 4. Battery is hard to find sometimes. 5. Battery can shift and it will lose power Fitbit one 1. Rechargeable, but holds a charge easily for a week 2. Easier to read - bright LEDs 3.…

These responses look great! Yep... I will volunteer to put the first post up on Sunday June 1st. At that time anyone can put down their goals for just the 6 days of June 2nd to June 7th The reason that I chose only 6 days is that I have seen these kind of week things run into each other with out a breather day. Here is…

I like your goal because it is so realistic. I am trying to lose approx 25-30 by december and get fit in the process. Feel free to shoot me a friend request! :drinker:

Great Job!!:drinker:

That is another great one... I am really into my fitbit!

I got it... we will keep it simple - and for guys! "Minutes working out challenge." This way we don't get into pissing contests about burns, HRMs, weights vs. Cardio Runs Monday though Saturday - 6 days 1. Every Sunday somebody here posts a topic: For example: June 2nd -7th challenge post here! 2. On Monday who ever is up…

When I have been successful at getting fit (notice I didn't say losing weight LOL), I have always had "side challenges" for myself that have had nothing to do with the scale. To succeed in these kind of challenges you have to make sure you eat not too much so that you have energy to spare, get enough sleep, drink enough…

@Melissa - So Happy that your brother is recovering... :flowerforyou:

May 27th Green! I have done 20/27 days green this month. I am still slightly in the red for the entire month, but it is "Chevy-Red" so I hope to hang on to the end! I expect to see my 10 day average weight from May 1st to May 31st show modest results! :smile:

Hi, I'm 52 and definitely support my friends here on MFP. It is all about encouragement! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Howdy! I have been on MFP off and on about 1 year now and I am in some groups and they are women dominated. And.. since I am a family guy I am here just to get fit and not "wander" if you know what I mean. I have been looking for a "regular guys" group for a while. I am very serious about getting my bodyfat down from 30%+…

North Carolina Here! Love NASCAR!

Every Day! When I am being really consistent with Logging and exercise I can actually predict the changes. It helps me keep on track! For example.. if I eat a lot of carbs and salty snacks... I will retain water. If I eat a lot of red meat.. I will be heavier longer I don't use my weight as the end all be all. ... but it…

May 2014 Update May 27th 68.3 miles - Way behind this month... but trying to get the most miles in I can before the end.

This ^^^ Everyone is built different - some people will always be "heavy". However... if you are consistently eating 2000-3000 calories over your "maintenance", becoming way less mobile than your peers and eventually becoming a burden on your friends, family, and children. Discipline is becoming a word that I hear less and…

Log everything... even on the days you are throwing caution to the wind.... I have learned more about what makes me tick from my 4000-5000 calorie days than the days when I am eating to goal Learn to weigh foods and understand portions Learn to use a Heart Rate Monitor Understand what your BMR and TDEE really means Get a…

R_Queenie Great job with the medals! :drinker:

May 26th Green! 19/26 total Nice Lazy day!

5/25 Green - comfortably. Did not feel deprived because I ate prettty "clean" (However.. I am IIFYM :smile: ) My cumulative deficit for the month is red.. but it will be really interesting to see how much weight I will have lost.

actually I agree with the OP! :drinker:

@R_Queenie - Thanks so much for updating and such! (Just trying to imagine the shake weight) @K80flec - So happy the achilles is improving... I had bad achilles problems last year.. it hurts! @jbharwood - thanks so much for updating too! @GrandmaKandy - Looking like things are going good! @melissaphipps - hope things go…
