2014 - Happy New Year and my goal for the year
Happy New Year everyone. It's been a long time since I've been able to be on here, but I decided to force the issue, and I'm finally back. I'm glad to see the group was able to keep going after I had to disappear so suddenly two years ago, and a big thanks to everyone who has participated. I'm kick-starting myself for the…

Return of the Belly
Hello All. I am back for my second go-round. Last time, I did really well - I dropped from 198 to 182 on a goal of 180 in just a few months (and almost perfectly on my expected timetable), before I had some things happen, and I dropped off the site. I have returned because I miss feeling healthier, and because I have a son…

January Tracking Thread
Happy New Year! Let's get off to a fast start. I'll start a new thread each month for people to post their numbers. Doesn't need to be anything fancy - just post how many calories, and if it is not for that day, say which day(s) it is for. We'll add it to the tracker so we can post at the end of the each week.

For Newbies - Acronym Help
Hello Everyone, Having been on here for over a month, I realized one thing I have had to do a lot is go searching for what different acronyms people use actually mean. Since I think I am starting to figure them out, I thought I'd start trying to combine them as a reference for others. My descriptions are basic - most of…

Our first one is the 10,000 calorie mark. As of right now, we have 4 people over…

Goals for Newcomers and Changing Goals
To keep this group open to new members throughout the year, I will be adjusting the goal for each new person who starts to the nearest 2,500 calories at the time they start. For example, if someone starts on January 30th, their goal will be 100,000*(336/366) = 91,803 calories, which when rounded would be 92,500 calories -…

What if I want to lose more/less weight?
I've had a couple questions when I've posted this idea before regarding people who want/need to lose more or less weight than the 28.5 pounds burned with 100,000 calories. The simple answer is the number of calories you burn does not indicate how much weight you will lose (or even gain). If you set your weight goals…

NSV
I used to be around 115/75 blood pressure, but over the past couple years, it had slowly crept up. This past summer, I hit an all time high, with one reading at 159/98! Yikes! In just a couple months, due to diet change, semi-regular exercise, and some weight loss (~10 pounds), I had a blood pressure reading yesterday of…
