Does MFP Need To Offer A Structured Plan??
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.”- Steve Jobs I love this quote. I think this can be applied to lifestyle change. By watching myself,…

Follow your heart... Steve Jobs. Are you?
The question is… am I, are we… following our hearts? “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face…

New Study Reveals: Plateaus are NOT real...
Sorry for the deception. Yes, plateaus are real in the short run (weeks or weeks). BUT plateaus are NOT real in the long run like a month or more period of time. I entered 6 months of data that I logged here at MFP and the results were shocking to be honest. Sorry it's so long. It's not a simple topic. But it is one that…

Going for 2nd base and tumbling in total humiliation :(
Jeremy Brown, the 240 pound minor league catcher is afraid to go for a double. Even when he has a good shot of making it to 2nd base he pulls up and settles for the single for the fear of getting thrown out at second and how he might be humiliated in front of a huge crowd of people and his piers in the process. But today…

Do 3500 calories lost = 1 pound lost over long haul?
I had a pretty big revelation today. I went back and recorded all my exercise and food for the last 6 months since I started. Though the records are not complete and I had to do some estimating (about 5% of the time for food only). I recorded the following in a spreadsheet. I set my daily basic calorie need (BMR) to 2500…
