  • I've been temped a few times but have never joined a gym. You will notice a general theme in the answers though that exercise is important. Dieting alone will get you just so far but your body will try to achieve a balance at whatever food intake level you use. There will come a time when the choice is to get more active…
  • Kinda scares me that you consider them old... :'(
  • I changed from my normal scale to a scale that measure BMI a few months ago. It was 6 pounds higher than my original scale so I had the same problem. What I finally decided was to not record my weigh ins until I had reached my last number on the original scale. It obviously created a flat line on my graph for a while but I…

  • Thanks; but trust me.... Swine flu isn't nearly as hard as staying in the calorie count some days.:laugh:
  • Let’s just cut through the minutia. :wink: You don’t know what your body absorbed, but you know what you ate. Adding any mathematical formula once you have consumed it is just an attempt to justify eating more. Even if the food passes right through I am pretty sure you aren’t going to starve to death. Record what you eat.…
  • 73.55 miles to date. I may just make it. http://www.runtastic.com/en/users/Randy-Tippetts/sport-sessions#multi_month_08,type_3,type_4
  • Hi all; My name is Randy but my friends call me Ranz. I think its great that you are reaching out for support. I didn't start reading the community stuff until recently and realize now that it was dumb not to. I have lost 101lbs of the 105 lbs I set for a goal and I went though it alone. I am seeing many things on these…
  • When I started this a year ago I promised myself a reward when I hit my goal. A Triple Baconator with Extra Cheese! I lived for that day and many a time it helped me stay on the program. I really wanted that Baconator! 101 pounds lighter and 4 pounds from goal and that baconator is a distant memory. I have eaten at Wendy's…
  • Weight does fluctuate a lot day to day. Considering what you are trying to accomplish those highs and lows will also directly affect your attitude. My best advice is to focus on the plan you put in place for yourself. Track it here to see if you are holding to it, and rarely check the scale. In my case I started daily but…
  • From you own test saying you have 49 pounds of fat you calculate at between 28% and 30% BMI roughly. I won't try to explain what is up with the trainer but quite simply he is either lying to sell you something or just plain wrong. Don't let that throw you. Stay on your plan and work until you feel good about you. You are…
  • I use the pro now but ran the free app for a couple of months first. It is great in either form. The free app anounces up to two miles. Your post is a bit old but if you are still interested, I'll be glad to help you with any of these apps. I know them inside and out. :-)
  • You are looking fantastic!! Take great pride in the milestone and don't let up until you are where you want to be.....:drinker:
