I say if you ate it you log it - WHEN YOU ATE IT.. That being said I just logged a 360 calorie brownie batter filled donut - SIGH, that equals a 2 mile run :( Then again I've not been good at logging dinners out, but when I can I log everything when I eat it - otherwise I'm just lying to myself and that's why I was 100 lbs…

Man Thong LOL

a long drawn out conference call that has more endurance than the energizer bunny!! It keeps going and going AND GOING.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Woohooo - was 5th flagger and POOF the post went.....great thread!!

We should tell people "I'm on the E.L.M.M. diet, and it is SO NEW and SO REVOLUTIONARY that I was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement and go to training for a WEEK in order to understand how to do it. It is also VERY EXPENSIVE because it is GUARANTEED TO WORK" Bet they'd be BEGGING to hear how it works and ask how…

I like the mapmywalk app for my walking/running. I have the MVP version which is $30 a year but it gives me coaching (verbal prompts of my current pace, distance, and time) and it feeds calories burned into myfitnesspal. I use Strava for cycling as my Cateye Stealth bike computer will upload my rides into strava. I've…

It never fails to amuse me at all the scam and fad diets out there that suck in people looking for a quick fix. The sad truth is that weight loss really IS simple if you don't have any medical conditions preventing it. I can sum the process up in FOUR WORDS: EAT LESS, MOVE MORE! I'm living proof of this as last year I was…

Congratulations - it's one heck of a great feeling isn't it? I've now done two with official timing (see profile photo) the past two weekends and even beat my time on the 2nd one!! Keep up the great work!! Got any plans on an 8K or 10K??
-
I've tried it too, but my wife keeps screwing my my plans LOL
-
Because yesterday, after doing my 5K walk/jog at lunch and then doing another 5K on the elliptical at the gym I weighed myself AND WAS UNDER 200 LBS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20+ YEARS!! I CAN DO THIS - but ONLY if I stick to logging ALL food and doing it precisely (with scale) and honestly!
-
Gotta weigh out portions - every time I quit doing that my weight loss stalls. Going on a 5-day cruise didn't help any either LOL
-
what motivates ME to keep logging is the fact that when I DO the scale moves to lower numbers. When I DO NOT LOG, my scale moves to BIGGER numbers - and because I got rid of all my smaller clothes I MUST at lest keep from gaining, and prefer to be a LOSER :smiley:
-
I guess I've got quite a ways to go still at a 0.625 Ht/Weight ratio :( I WAS on the way to making them MATCH if I had not made some severe changes!! From a MEASURED waist (over naval) of 51.5" down to around 40" so far!! At the rate I'm going I need to revisit my retirement savings - gonna need LOTS MORE MONEY as I'll…
-
It's been broken for three days now (I do daily walks with MMW syncin' to MFP). I'm gonna switch to Strava for the time being...see how THAT works... Dave EDITED TO ADD: Apparently this is only affecting ANDROID versions but not iPhones according to the response to my support request reply!!

DISCLAIMER: I'M NO EXPERT, but have ridden a bit in the past and just got back into cycling. I agree with the others on here that said stop by your local bike shop. I went to three or four in the Tampa Bay area before I found one that "felt right"! At a few of them I was ignored as if they didn't think the older fat dude…
-
I'm 51 (and a half) and have lost 36 pounds since March or April!! You CAN do it - it is just harder at our age!! You MUST log EVERY BITE and do it HONESTLY - Weigh your food for the most accuracy and no rounded measurements either!! One thing that CAN cause issues for us older men is Low Testosterone levels - I was…

Heather Locklear - she was in my high school Spanish class (class of '79 - I was '80) and beautiful then too! Tim Allen - St Petersburg (FL) Grand Prix driving for the Saleen Allen team (his teammate lapped him early on LOL) Craig T Nelson - 24 hrs of Daytona, awesome driver (far better than Tim Allen) and very personable…
-
That's the kind of thing that makes it all worthwhile!!! Similar situation for me the other day at work: I work in a closed off area and walked out to the restroom and someone said to me "Wow you are really shrinking" THAT MADE MY DAY!! Dave
-
Good veggie choice: Green Giant Steamers Green Beans and Almonds - low calorie but very filling Add a Healthy Choice or Smart Ones Entrée with meat for some protein (or get the mac n cheese and add tuna in water to it) Then add some fresh fruit If you eat like that it's better than fast food garbage like greasy…

In the Tampa area I get mine from GNC - do you have one near ya??
-
LOL reading the remarks on a few (But not all ) of the replies here has been entertaining. If you are a nudist I just hope you support AANR as they do a lot (in the USA) for the nudist lifestyle in terms of legal support, etc. (Google it) I used to be a member of AANR and a resort here in FL (I live in an area with a dozen…

Pastries, Stuffed Crust Pizza, and a Steak and Shake Frisco Melt with Cheese fries and a milk shake... Dang - I think I REALLY need to go heat up my lunch now LOL
-
I marinate it then cook on the grill using a "Mojo" marinade I buy at the grocery store. http://www.badiaspices.com/marinades-sauces/mojo/ from their web site it's a Carribbean / Latin American thing....Mojo pork is AWESOME and now I'm hungry DAMMIT! LOL
-
This won't end well as I've already been unfriended for being TOO inappropriate.....
-
FL heat sucks too (Tampa Bay area)....go early and stay hydrated (camelback?)...otherwise running inside is the only other option...treadmill or indoor track...
-
Dave here in the Tampa Bay area - I have 3 bikes in the garage: My 2007 Gold Wing, 2007 Suzuki Vstrom that I rode to Alaska and back in 2011, and my wife has a 2010 Gold Wing -- YES WE RIDE A LOT!! I managed to put over 100,000 miles on the Gold Wing since May 2007 and 43,000 on the Suzuki since May 2009 despite a series…
-
I'd reply with all my complaints but there's so much with Tampa driving that makes me nuts I'd probably exceed the post length!! I ride a motorcycle so I guess my biggest beef is "distracted drivers" You know, the ones texting, or yakkin' on the cell phone, or putting on makeup/shaving/doing hair. I can't tell you how many…

Wash skin well cut ends off cut to reasonable length pieces depending on size (we used to grow JUMBO ones over 18" long!) Cut into quarters lengthwise Brush with your favorite Olive Oil coat with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs and shredded parmesan Bake or grill till slightly soft and nicely browned

I'm too lazy to read thru 5 pages of posts to see if it's been said yet but.... If you have Amazon Prime there is an Amazon Music app that gives you music streaming AND THEY HAVE WORKOUT PLAYLISTS!! I LOVE Rock for Runners, and some of the other workout music - nice fast paced music!! Dave
