^^^^^~This~^^^^^^ :bigsmile:

Sounds like an interesting program. Hopefully it'll make its way to BBC America sometime in the near future.

Other than the fact that I really, REALLY like to clean and do laundry, I can't think of anything. Oh, yeah, I iron dress shirts to wear to work, but I work from my home office. . . . nobody ever sees me . . .

^^^This. Don't over-think it. I've seriously debated getting a HRM, but after seeing success by honestly logging what I've eaten and what exercise I've done, I don't see that a HRM would have helped.

I weigh daily and log it. I try to weigh at the same time every day. I also expect to see a saw-tooth line of ups and downs on my progress graph. If you only want to see a steady decline, then I'd recommend weighing less frequently.

I'm a morning person. I love getting in a workout before going to work where I sit at a desk all day. It also gives me the evenings free to do other things (like sing in a choir).

^^^^^----THIS!

My problem is that I don't trust that I'll stay at this weight, so I'm not buying new, smaller clothes. Everything I own is now baggy and unflattering. I'm so familiar with my Mom's yo-yo dieting, that I feel like that's going to happen to me, too. :cry:

You may get this from several others here, but IMHO, all you need is a calorie deficit to lose weight. Getting exercise helps immensely, but watching the calories is key. Don't pet the sweaty things (or however that saying goes).

Well, having read through six pages of these, I feel like I earned the right to post a reply, too. pope369 My surname plus my three lucky numbers.

I'm so old. I graduated in 1980 and weighed maybe 135lbs. Way too skinny I thought. Highest weight was 171.5 lbs back on June 27, 2011 Currently 148.2 lbs, headed for 140 lbs.

I'm glad you found this app! I stumbled on it looking for a way to keep my food diary in some kind of electronic format (having been keeping it on paper for a few weeks). What I like the most is that you can still get to the full website (with forums) from your iPhone, unlike another site [FB] that limits you to the mobile…

I'll beGetting marked to my partner of 29+ years on our 30th "anniversary", but after that, maybe a getaway to Vermont. I don't know for sure yet.

Muahahaha! I love this post! Great job, Marcello!

I know it's off-topic, but I had to post this pic of me in drag. :-) https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/28971_1138751804561_1700398284_259932_1639941_n.jpg

I asked Santa for a new pair of blue jeans as all the ones I have are two or three sizes too big! Yay me!

I'm here, too. Feel free to FR me. :bigsmile:

I always enjoyed that show. Thanks for sharing that link!

Awwww, heck Von . . . why not just tell 'em? Right??? Am I right people???

All the advice so far is good, but exercise is the key. My doctor told me that exercise (even a moderately fast walk) of 45 minutes three days a week will activate your immune system and keep you from getting pesky colds and flu. I've been following his recommendation now for the past five months and feel great!

ROTFLMAO!!!!

^^^^^^^This. I have been in what some people call a long-term relationship (only 29 years so far). I would boil our "success" down to one word: Compromise Relationships by their very nature are a compromise. If you don’t compromise, then it isn’t a relationship. Sometimes you just have to . . . well you get my point. Also,…

EUGENE . . . .I win for dorkiest name!

FWIW - I have lost 22 lbs so far, and the one thing I *didn't* change was the amount of alcohol in my diet. If I can't drink AND lose weight at the same time, I'd rather be overweight, thankyouverymuch!

Guess I didn't qualify. . . oh well *pout*

I have a treadmill and that seems to be just fine for the fast walk I like to do. It wasn't that expensive either. Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:

What BerryH said! I weigh myself daily & record it for future reference. As long as the trend line is headed down, I have no worries!
