  • I think I've stumbled onto a private thread...
  • This one, Crawling by Linkin Park, live. https://youtu.be/sjN-NGsRg9g
  • Personally, no, it doesn't bother me. It's the mental connection that is key. And that's something that you simply cannot tell by appearance alone.
  • Every journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step and all that, smash those goals, one day at a time!
  • So, that's it then, the longest day. From tomorrow, the nights start getting longer. FFS.
  • Please feel free to add me, I have a long track record of failures :D But, this time, I got this B)
  • Interesting post. I've been here for years - and struggling for years... I'm really trying to find why I keep failing and I think it is mindset, more specifically the concept of loving yourself. So, this is my new focus, trying to learn to love myself and seeing if that makes life easier. I suspect it's the root cause of…
  • Everybody needs more friends!
  • Yup, me too, MFP returns are like groundhog day for me - well, maybe Groundhog year...

  • I like your style!! I've been at this about 13 years now I think, currently on attempt number 643 and for whatever reason, it's going OK on this one. I'm a crap friend though, rarely get time to comment and just do my thing. If all that sounds appealing, feel free to add me!
  • I weigh in the kitchen, the floor is uneven but I've found a spot where the scale sits steady and level, just test it by making sure it doesn't rock at all. The kitchen sounds a better bet for you, I don't weigh naked, just in a T shirt and undercrackers. Yes, there will be some tiny variations from day to day but I can't…
  • Absolutely this. Scales also do not like to be moved and must be on a flat, hard level surface. If you do need to move your scales (I do) then step on and off first to calibrate them before taking your true reading. If you're doing the above, with fresh batteries and still getting erratic readings then it's time for a new…
  • I'm constantly on and off here, must be well over 10 years now. Trying again, again!
  • Agh, sorry! Finally got my week off so a bit distracted. Pw 240.6 Cw 240.0
  • Apologies, I'm really not very good at this! PW 240.6 CW 241.4 Ho Hum. Hope everybody is doing well!
  • Username CM_73 Weigh In Day Tuesday PW (Previous Weight): 241.6 CW (Current Weight) 240.6 Oops, sorry, didn't realise I was automatically enrolled, I thought I'd missed the deadline! I STILL haven't sorted out the pictures etc! I'm really short on time at the moment. I desperately need a few days off work but they're being…
  • Last week: 237 Today 241.6. Sorry all. Think it was a low blip last week and a high one this week but I have been lay with logging since I got back. Onwards and upwards. I have loads of pictures on my phone and videos of dolphins playing around the boat, just need to find the time to edit everything and get a couple of…
  • I'm back! Weigh-in this morning: 239lbs. That's the same as my last one before I went on the trip which was way lower than it should have been (maybe 4lbs down?) so very happy with that! Apologies for my absence, things are back to normal now!
  • Really sorry, I think I'm going to have to skip this weighing, still 500 miles away so won't be near a scale for a while. I will update as soon as I can if it's not too late by then.
  • Bottom line - it works. I'm one of those people who simply can't run, never have been able to. I did the C25K program a few years back and at the end, I was running 5K. Believe me, if I can do it, anybody can! I actually kept it up for a while afterwards as well. I had visions of me bounding gracefully through woodlands in…

  • Sorry for the delay, long story but have abandoned the boat for a couple of days due to storms. Very long day yesterday, 11 hours on the boat then a 5.5 hour drive home arriving just before midnight! Weighed-in this morning, it seems to be artificially low due to the strange last week but the number is 239.2 lbs. I'll be…
  • Morning all! In a demonstration of my inherent laziness, I've copied this bit from my profile: I've spent s̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ e̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ n̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶n̶ ̶e̶l̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ twelve Years now trying to look after my health. Still got a load of weight to lose, but I keep edging ever closer to my goals, just with a lot of ups and downs.…
  • Certainly! If anybody is interested, I'll add some pictures, assuming the app lets me!
  • Thank you! I've already had a spanner thrown in the works, it looks as if I may have to help with a boat delivery on Sunday, it's a 660 mile journey so I'll be away for a week. If I stick with my submitted starting weight, I should be back be the first weeks weigh-in so hopefully all will work out OK. Thanks for the warm…
  • Good choice, enjoy!
  • What's different for me this time is that I'm preparing to fail. I will slip up, it's OK to slip up but I will not let it derail me.
  • Mmmm, Florida. Long time since I've been there. Good luck with your journey, you got this!
  • Well done, it's certainly worth a try, My MFP friends are a great source of inspiration - it all helps!
  • I have a Vivoactive HR, had it a long time now, I pre-ordered one before they were released which must be 2 or 3 years ago now The fitness tracking is extremely good, the calorie burn calculation (for me) is accurate, built in GPS so great for tracking all sorts of activities and the battery life is spectacular. Downsides:…
  • Also Kent, and back for about the 400th time...
