Motivation and Support
George (88olds) suggested this Message Board awhile back and I've taken to visiting it. Some interesting reads. I do find it interesting that many people 'post and run'. As in, they start a thread with a question or observation, get lots of input but never acknowledge having come back to look at the responses. Plus,…

History 101
Well the thread which prompted the following has long since been tossed on the ash heap of goad history I thought it would be fun to reminisce. The inspiration for this piece has managed to defy the odds and acquit himself nicely: https://countcurtblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/23/nothing-simple/

Discussions for Guys Interested in Weight Loss
There is a public group, GOAD, on myfitnesspal that focuses on issues related to weight management. The core of this group migrated from a message board run by WeightWatchers, but any guys interested in a community focused on weight management are invited to join in. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/115013-goad

Tracking Methods Question
This question is for members of the group who have tracked/journaled (or seriously attempted tracking/journaling) both on paper and electronically... Do (or did) you find one method more effective than any other? By effective, I mean helping to achieve weight management and other intake modification goals. Your thoughts as…

Important Difference?
Last night I cooked a chicken dish using boneless skinless chicken thighs. I normally use boneless skinless chicken breasts but we had a package of thighs and my wife wanted to use them up. I was surprised by how much better the dish was using the thigh meat- the taste was similar although the meat held up to the sauce…

WW Freestyle Poll
Just curious whether people in this group have considered/tried WW Freestyle and what the preliminary thoughts are?

Food Finds
So, I was in Trader Joe's yesterday. They were sampling the frozen mashed cauliflower 'pods' (they come in small disks, so you can take just what you need out of the bag.) It was quite tasty and the NI was reasonable (50 cals per serving, 2 gm fat). I mentioned to the sample guy that it was tastier than I'd imagined it…

Food Chat
As somebody with weight management issues I've recently begun to really appreciate just how much time I spend talking about/thinking about food. Particularly so when I'm in a more successful phase regarding my weight. Do you spend much time talking about or thinking about food? What think your friends/ relatives who don't…

New Member Suggestion Box
Welcome to GOAD. The consensus here is that straight-shooting input, feedback and support is very helpful for us in our weight management efforts. Those features are generally enhanced with a vital group and a vital group needs ongoing fresh ideas, input and exchange. So, if you're new here (I'll let you define new), and…

(Off Topic, slightly) Special Powers
Apparently mine is the power to offend. Which, also apparently, I still have: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10599939/maintaining-weight-on-a-budget#latest What's your 'special' power?

Because you're good enough, smart enough and gosh darn it...
I was flipping through WWConnect yesterday and found an interesting thread from a woman who analyzed, in painful detail, her observations made while measuring food on a cruise. This comment followed: " You are so awesome! Who takes measuring cups with them on a cruise? A successful Weight Watcher does, that's who! I'm…

Another "I'm Back" thread. Sorta
Well, I'm sure many (ok, some or perhaps a couple) of you noticed I'd gone rogue. Well, I'm back. This story has a twist, though... I actually was away for about a month wandering through South America- Peru and Ecuador. Returned to a mountain of work that I'm just now getting out from underneath. The twist on this story?…

Memory Lane
GOAD board may be gone, but not every vestige of the old WW has disappeared: http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=3&art_id=169441&sc=4350

I need help...
Understanding the attraction to CLIF bars. I have now tried at least 5 different flavors. They all remind me of fertilizer. What am I missing here?

Gone but not [completely] Forgotten
This gem still lives on in the WW webosphere: http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=3&art_id=169441&sc=4350 What's your favorite 'remnant'?

Getting the word out
I enjoy this group. The free-wheeling nature, focus and directness all work for me. The interaction and dynamic nature of the group are also instrumental in ongoing success. I've decided to add a thread in the "Introduce Yourself" message board inviting others to join this group. I figure if it gets commented on every so…

Old Home Week at ww.com
I went to look something up on the ww website (I'm paid up through 2021, so I might as well) and got the following message: The site is currently down for maintenance. In this fast changing world, isn't it comforting to know there are still some things you can rely on? o:)
