Looking for Clergy Companions
Hi everyone, I'm an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister who needs to drop a bit over 100 lbs. I know that a lot of us clergy folk take care of others better than we care for ourselves ... so ... if you're interested in supporting one another, look for the group I hope to create -- Liberal Clergy Companions.

Having trouble? I'd be glad to celebrate each little step ...
I am 53 years old, and have been "grossly obese" for ... let's just say a long time. I have tried -- and tried and tried -- in the past, yet for some reason this time I'm doing well sticking to it. Having had so, so, so many times when I didn't, though, I'd be more than happy to celebrate any success you have (hoping that…

MyFitnessPal & Pacer
I've got Pacer on my phone and it syncs with MFP. I notice, though, that the data isn't all the same. Tonight, for instance, Pacer tells me I walked a certain number of steps for a burning of 216 calories. After syncing, MFP notes the same number of steps, but says I only burned 90 calories.

Clergy Supporting Clergy

Any other food addicts?
I'm 51 years old, 100 or so pounds overweight (with the usual co-morbidities). I'm also a food addict. If I drank I'd be a falling down drunk alcoholic. Instead, I eat. Anyone else trying to use this tool while also wrestling with these demons?
