  • Camping on the Blue Ridge Pkwy was great...and since it was the end of the season and a weeknight I had the entire campground to myself!! Also camping at Devil's Tower (enroute to Alaska by Motorcycle) was pretty cool - imagine having a view of that rock formation from your picnic table in the morning while making coffee!!…

  • Hire a personal trainer for 5 sessions a week for six months or more. Also hire a personal chef/nutritionist to work with trainer... Then after dropping enough weight and re-training thought processes I'd get a new motorcycle and tour the USA by motorcycle for a year or more...once I'd seen all I wanted of the 49 states…

  • Maybe it's just me but I don't see anything wrong with looking at profile photos, after all isn't that why they are posted - for others to see?? and YES, I check out photos of others on MFP!

  • I do them monthly at my gym. My trainer will weigh, measure and photo me once a month to keep me on track. My plan is to animate all the photos in a year and show "The incredible Shrinking Dave" at the end!! Dave SW 244 3/2014 GW 140 or so CW 228.8

  • Since I wear a full face helmet I prefer to look OVER the windshield. I bought a 2" shorter windshield for my Gold Wing (2007 Navi with 98,900 miles) and my Vstrom ('07 DL1000 with 43,000 mi) already had a short enough windshield! Dave

  • Bear in mind I'm a relative newbie here (almost 2 months in?) but during my 1st appointment my personal trainer asked me what I thought was more important: Cardio, or Strength training. I answered CARDIO..... He said that strength training was more important and that I should do Strength Training (lifting, etc) 3x a week…

  • The tape measure will tell you more! After a month of working out at L.A. Fitness my trainer measured me again and I had lost 10" overall yet I didn't SEE the loss. I DID however feel a difference in how my clothes fit!! I think it's easier for others to see it too - I lost over 2" in chest and didn't even realize it! Keep…

  • That is OUTSTANDING and an inspiration to someone like me who is just starting down this long journey! I'm out to lose 100 lbs my March 2015 and just hit a short plateau....trying not to obsess about the scale, but still weigh daily to ensure I don't reverse directions!! I too wanna do a 10K eventually, but for now I'm…

  • 51 here, joined a month or so ago after a co-worker recommended the site and I love it. MFP gives me accountability when I am honest logging my food. I also like that it tracks exercise as well!! I joined LA fitness as I'm 5'4" and was 244 lbs when I started - I'd had enough of always being tired! Some will say I'm nuts…

  • Congratulations!! I'm 5'4" and started this lifestyle change at 244 lbs, CW 231, GW 140 or so (will decided when I get closer). At this point I'm happy to be moving slowly towards a sub-200lb weight for the first time since 1993 or so. At 51 it hasn't been easy but now that I'm walking daily at lunch with a co-worker I…

  • I'd have to see them to judge because some I've seen are very sexy, others I've not been fond of! I think it's a person preference depending on the person's artistic tastes!! The wife of a photographer has a full sleeve and I think it looks good on her, others I've seen...not so much...just depends on how it was done:…

  • Every morning after I shower I hop onto my Withings Smart Body Analyzer and IT does the recording FOR ME. I admit, I AM a tech junkie and like using technology to help me keep track of things! This records weight, Body Fat %, heart rate, and even air quality (odd add-on)....it even tells me if it's supposed to rain today…
