Why do you belong to GoaD?
I'll take the best responses and spin them into a blog post, as discussed here. Give me your best three (or so) reasons why you belong to GoaD, or, less specifically, why you find it useful to be in any weight loss group.

A poll question re: MFP/GoaD etiquette
MFP generously allows us to appraise one another's posts as Insightful, Inspiring, Like, Awesome, or Woo. But, sadly, we can make only one of these magnificent choices per post. It gives rise to so many questions. For instance:* How do you make the difficult decision as to which of these stupendous options to click? * Does…

OT: Football
What games are you looking forward to this weekend? Week two of the NFL is the fun week ... the one where we find out if what we saw in week one was a trend or a fluke, right? All we know for sure at this point is that the Bengals suck. ;-) I'm pretty much out of the loop for college games, but didn't see any match-ups to…

OT: Football Friday
It was fun to see some college ball last evening. More to come today and tomorrow. With the pros, the practice games are over and this weekend brings roster cuts and acquisitions. What are you watching this weekend? Any predictions?

What I miss from the old GoaD, in no particular order
- GoaD on the Run - What's for breakfast/lunch/dinner threads - In praise of <insert food item here> threads - Recipe threads - Sports, entertainment, and other off topic mayhem - Newbies - Steves' wisdom - The rebel attitude (without WW, is there nothing to rebel against?) - The hot tub (j/k, but the "hidden" threads were…

What's for breakfast?
I had a great one. Trying to get back into the oatmeal swing of things. Steel cut oatmeal, raisins, banana, peanut butter, with a bit of brown sugar Splenda.

Former GoaD - interesting WL article
I can't recall Amanda's WW screen name. It will come to me. She was active 2008-2010-ish, especially in the running thread. You'll find this interesting, no doubt. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4718068/Woman-gives-dieting-gets-fat-happier-ever.html

Weekly mini goals - week of 6/12
Weekly mini goals really work! They allow us to adjust focus in the short-term while still aiming toward a broader long-term target. Setting small goals also provides opportunity to challenge ourselves and (maybe) create new habits. A weekly mini goal can be scale or non-scale related. Done right, smaller incremental goals…

Pilates?
Who are my Pilates peeps? What do you like/dislike. Any thoughts on Pilates vs yoga vs tai chi? I'm getting an introduction to the Reformer in physical therapy sessions, and thinking this might be something to stick with.

This thing with my hip -- a GoaD on the Run tale
A run club friend asked my about my hip, and my response ended up being a rather long-winded story along the lines of the race reports we used to post on the GoaD on the Run thread. I thought I'd share . . . My symptoms began 7 years ago while training for Grandma’s Marathon. I’d run regularly for 2+ years before then,…

PSA: Easter Sunday dinner
It's one meal, not a multi-hour/day grazing period. Bonus PSA: the chocolate and jelly beans are for the kids. Leave that stuff alone.

Weekly mini goal challenge - 4/3/17
Weekly mini goals work for me. They allow me to adjust focus while still aiming toward a broader long term target. Smaller incremental goals let us enjoy an accomplishment here and there along the way, but, ideally, are never set so high that they cause undue stress if you fall short. If you want to join in this challenge,…

Weekly mini goal - a challenge
I talked myself back from the ledge. I went as far as to schedule an appointment with Medifast, but after reading more decided that would be my dumbest waste of money since . . . I don't know . . . maybe NFL Sunday Ticket for a Browns fan? I don't need their ultra-processed meal replacements to lose weight. Instead, I need…

In praise of beets
The perennial all star of winter root vegetables is the humble beet. They're so easy to prepare and so delicious in a salad or as a hearty veggie side. Who wouldn't love a sweet, delicious red or gold beet! Bonus: you can eat the greens. Bonus-2: Borscht! Bonus-3: Pickled Red Beet Eggs

Recipe builder on MFP
I gave the recipe builder a whirl for the first time this morning. Everything works well until the end. I am not able to either "Save" or "Save & Log It", which are the only two options presented after all ingredients are entered. Clicking "Save" does nothing at all, while clicking "Save & Log It" brings up a popup window…

Football Friday
Not many more opportunities left to talk football this season. Do the home teams all hold court this weekend, or will there be an upset (or two or three)? If you're ATL, NE, KC, or Dallas . . . who do you want to face next week?
