I'm in for an alcohol-free July. Great resource list on this board! [I quit smoking 1198 days ago. I have had 1 drinking day(s) in the last 613 days. I have had no alcohol for 397 days.]

Nice to see this message board. Great resource list. I loved This Naked Mind. Life is so much better AF. I'm a data guy, track weight, diet, BP, etc. My super spreadsheet tells me: "I quit smoking 1183 days ago. I have had 1 drinking day(s) in the last 598 days. I have had no alcohol for 382 days." All the best on meeting…

Glad to see this thread. My wife is T2 Diabetic and has limited carbs. We are both now doing Keto and having good results. We make our own Greek yogurt - Instant Pot; use half heavy cream and half full fat milk. Strain to remove whey. I usually log as some variant of Greek yogurt and add a T of full cream. My wife does not…

and then there is a script to display net carbs if you've set myfitnesspal to display both carbs and fiber. search for keto, myfitnesspal, script.

I'm back on the grid. Had a wonderful vacation. Eating was a bit challenging. Airport choices were limited. In Yucatan, avoided fruits and veggies I couldn't peel. Ate in some restaurants and had little idea what I was eating. Suspect I ate less fiber and more simple carbs. Probably slightly more calories. Weight trend,…

I weigh every day, using the Fitbit Aria wifi connected scale. I also log diet on MFP, monitor steps and activities on Fitbit, log blood pressure, sleep, body composition. I'm a bit of a data geek and look at all the trends and how they inter-relate. With daily weight measures It's important to look at trends and not get…

Love my Fitbit One as part of tracking my health and fitness data. See my blog for how I collect and visualize my data: http://johntmoore.blogspot.com/

I like trendweight.com. It's based on the Hacker's Diet. Hacker's is also online at https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/HackDiet. Trendweight will sync automatically with the Fitbit Aria scale and also the also other scales. I'm a bit of a data geek and I collect lots of data and have played around with ways to analyze and…

I'm in the daily camp. Every morning I step on the Aria Fitbit scale which syncs over wi-fi. There is some evidence that daily weighing is associated with weight loss and maintenance success. I also monitor sleep, blood pressure, steps, activities, along with diet. The trends are what I pay attention to not the individual…

I love my fitbit. My main use is to track steps as a measure of overall activity and to track sleep. When I cycle or do non-step activities I click it into activity mode and click at the end of the workout. I go into my fitbit account and edit the activity with description, type, calories (if I have HRM data or other…

Love our Aria Scale. Syncs weight, Fat% for both my wife and me to our FitBit and MFP accounts. I also use TrendWeight and Google Spreadsheets to track weight, activity, Fat%, BMI, etc. I'm a bit of a data nerd/geek. See my blog for what hardware and software I use to track my health and fitness:…

I weigh every day. Morning routine is pee, strip, step on scale, put pajamas back on, start coffee, take blood pressure, drink coffee. I track it all. For daily weighing it's important to look at the trend not individual data points. You can compute moving averages in Excel or another spreadsheet program. Trenweight.com…

Love my vitamix!

I weigh daily, using a wifi connected Aria Scale connected to my FitBit account synced to MFP and TrendWeight. I also use a script and API to pull all my data into Google Spreadsheets. I track everything: Weight, Food, Blood Pressure, Sleep, Steps, Biking, other exercise. See my blog post on how I use hardware and software…

Corned beef is over 800 mg sodium per 3 0z.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. I'm drinking a fair amount of green tea. There are some studies, and I have not done a careful review, that indicate some specific effects on fat loss. See, for example: http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20050126/green-tea-fights-fat Probable dose related effects. Your results may vary. All the…

Daily. Started the weight loss on doc's advice due to blood pressure. Every morning step on my scale, start the coffee, take my blood pressure. I log sleep, activity via FitBit, food, water. I recommend TrendWeight or some other means of looking at moving averages. With weight, it's the trend I'm interested in, not every…

Weight will naturally fluctuate. All measurement has some signal and noise. I think it's important to look at trends. I like trend weight for this (trendweight.com). I also think that our bodies try to defend against weight changes (set point) and that time is required to see changes. There are individual differences in…

Bump!!!! Thanks for sharing this!

I love my Fitbit One. I log all food on MFP and rely on Fitbit for general activity (steps). I have the accounts synced. I log non-step activity on Fitbit website and it carries over to MFP. I've enabled calorie adjustment. I log my fluid intake on Fitbit android app because it's easier interface than MFP. It just works.…

That was my philosophy, too. Then I had stress fracture and no running for way too long. My pain went away after about 5 miles and I just kept up the running. Major mistake. But I was a runner, then.

From the article:" I would urge general caution over observational studies, and particularly when looking at diet, given the difficulties of disentangling one nutrient or dietary component from another. You can get an association that might have some causal linkage or might not," said Peter Emery, head of nutrition and…

I love my FitBit One. Do they work? Yes, for what they do. Accelerometer based pedometer. Best for counting steps. If you want to monitor your walking, jogging, running -- very nice. As a general measure of activity, step count works for lots of us. If you do significant non-step activity, you will probably want to monitor…

I weigh every day. Started weight loss on advice of physician due to high blood pressure. Morning routine is get up, pee, step on Aria wifi-connected scale, start coffee, take blood pressure, drink coffee, make breakfast smoothie. I log diet, blood pressure, and actifvity. I use a FitBit One. I log my activity, water…

Very frustrating. I try to monitor sodium and potassium. Mostly see both values missing.

Check: https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/898903-how-does-fitbit-know-how-many-calories-i-ve-burned- As I understand it your comparison of calories between the HRM and the Fitbit may rest on a faulty assumption: that only the walk calorie expenditure is being compared. I could be wrong, I think the heart rate…

Daily, first thing, without fail. I got into loosing weight because my blood pressure was up. Only times I've been in control of weight in past was when I did careful monitoring. I also take my blood pressure every morning, just after putting the coffee on, without fail. I now use the Aria wifi scale. I track my steps with…

Majorly cool. I'll study in more detail. I pull my food, activity, weight data together in Google Spreadsheets from Fitbit automatically. Check my blog at http://johntmoore.blogspot.com/. Also use TrendWeight. Thanks for sharing.
