@GrandmaJackie - Congratulations! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :smile:

July 30th - ran a 5K by myself 19 runs done

@ceci - hope your mom gets better :-) I will definitely be upping my goal as I am counting fitbit miles and may be doing some stationary bike next month too. Final Total 164.5

I exercise so i can eat more and lose weight comfortably. Also I feel like I am "living maintenance" because of this attitude. On the other hand: "you can't out run poor dietary choices on a consistent basis"

Great story - Really well done!

As a 52 year male married to my wonderful wife for 20+ years the thing that jumped out at me was the name calling.I would never call my wife something demeaning ever in anger and even as a joke. She is my equal partner and she works just as hard as I do, just in different ways. This is one of the threads that restores my…

Hi... I like 15 times as a goal, but I will go with what the majority of the group wants :-)

@wifeyy - hope your knee hangs in there. :flowerforyou:

When I am in a bad mood or really sad... I have a really good set of "mental tools" to bring myself out of it! :smile:

This ^^^

I like this thread :wink:

^^this - very well put! The more I log the better I get at it. Also When I go out and I know I am going to an applebees or a Chilis. I just check out the menu beforehand, know what I am going to order and there is no drama. Then I can concentrate on enjoying the meal with coworkers and clients.

Hi There, I am a 5'7", I started at 203 and I have been losing 2-3 lbs per month. I eat 1800-2200 calories per day. You are either: 1. Not estimating your calorie intake as well - When I bought a digital scale it opened my eyes. 2. At your weight you could be easily eating 1600+ calories a day and losing. Hang in there...…

@joanna - Love your post!

Lots of "Hangry" folks here today! :smile: I used to be "Hangry" when I was trying to eat 1200-1400 cals a day to lose weight. As a 5'7" Male weighing around 195 that was just pure stupidity. I remember running then and having to quit at 3/4 mile because I had no "fuel in the tank" Now as I eat 1800-2200 and am losing. I…

@BrianPerkins Very well put and the easiest to understand explanation of the "artificially Heart Rates" I have seen. Thanks! :drinker:

I'll second what @wanderan said - Thanks so much to all the moderators who have jumped in to help - This is taking time out of "real life" and it is not lost to us! Thank You! :drinker:

@ILiftheavy Agreed - but you set the bar so high! :drinker:

I bumped because this topic because this is a thread that, for the most part, really constructive and goes beyond just calories in vs. calories out. It talks about discipline, determination, and attitude. :smile:

You are setting the bar high again - Go for it - it was a Scorcher! :drinker:

HI - Fellow relapser here! Great Post! I know that if I pre-plan my day what I am going to eat... 99% I make goal and usually get to eat some great treats! :drinker:

Congrats to all who have made goal or who are really close! :drinker:

Lunch walk and long evening walk Total: 119.4 Miles to date
