Feb 12 thru July 12, a weight loss journey with picture...
I am not done yet, hell not even close, this is my life. My journey was a long one a rough one and one I will continue forever. I told "Facebook" it has been 6 months because for some randomly weird reason 6 months makes more sense to people when they see the amount of change.. How many times have I been asked "which…

At least down 50 pounds at 40!
Not done yet! Started my new life in February! I turn 40 tomorrow... I lost at least 50 pounds but most likely more since I hate scale phobia for a while

Apple Watch says I burned XXX calories MFP says XXX
When I started my journey I may have set things up wrong but now MFP just counts the steps from my watch not the actual exercise. Using yesterday as an example.. MFP 1047 calories based on the 17k steps or so Watch 1604 calories based on the SAME steps but it knew that half of them were jogging a quarter of them were…

My first 50 days.
I am pleased with the results so far, I am not half way there yet but I have enough progress I can honestly say I haven't felt this well in years. Me February 15th (300 plus, the scale stopped at 300.....) Me today (260ish) Counting calories, wish I knew about this years ago... But 40 is the new 30 right :)

Went from walking to jogging and now eating way more.
I know my body needs fuel, I have no problems with that. But when I would walk on an incline (no hands :wink: ) or outdoors my calories burned would be say 400 or so in an hour at 3mph to 3.8mph walking speed. I would do about 2-3 hours of that a day half in the morning half at night (tried to stay over 10k steps a day)…

I didn't really want too but I did lol I pushed my body and managed to finish in 40:47! My average treadmill speed is 3.5 (up to 4 down to 3 always…

How much should you lose before dropping calories?
The title is confusing but I couldn't put it any clearer :/ If I drop 10 or 5 or ? pounds should I redo MFP to lower the calorie limits as I continue my weight loss journey?

People to look over my diary...
I have trouble eating back my exercise calories (I don't actually log my exercise, MFP gets the steps and uses them off my watch which is usually quite a bit lower than actual exercise calories) I started Feb 12th and am down 24 pounds basically eating smaller portions, frequently eating and exercising 1 to 2 hours every…

How should I start strength training?
I have been losing weight pretty well, while eating healthy. Currently I am doing a mix of (to me) intense treadmill to casual 5-6miles a day 120 minutes between two sessions. All are on an incline. I am up to a 3.2mph and every 10 minutes I turn it up to 4mph for a minute to get my heart rate up. Week 1 I couldn't wait…

From 302 to 200.... Questions.
I will be 40 in April while looking at my old army day photos I said "it is time" I have some very fit friends, and an older brother who is my "coach" but I would love to hear how you all did it. Currently I am 2-5 miles on a treadmill 3-3.5mph, random hills to 7.8 incline. And eating less food, using food as fuel is my…
