- Any older guys (50+) who lift struggle with shoulder and knee soreness? I think I'm having tendonitus in my shoulders. What do you do to stay healthy--layoff? lighter weight/more reps? Advil?
- I can't get a good answer from tech support, maybe you all can answer this. I'm 58, 6', male, 209lbs. When I use the guided goal function on MFP and ask for a 1.5lb/week loss rate it says 1500 calorie…
- I've run for decades and always struck heel first. I notice people running occasionally that seem to be running on their toes (balls of their feet). It that a thing? Have I been running wrong for 40 y…
- Can anyone tell me what is considered "fast free-style" vs "moderate free-style"? The calorie burn rates in MFP give those two options, I'm not sure how to gauge myself. Is there a minutes per quarter…
- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants This is a great post that I found to be really useful and true. I'd also recommend another group ca…
- Well this is no way to lead, I'm going backwards. Gained 3. I know I have been cheating a bit but I'm a bit perplexed as to why such a big gain. Some water no doubt. Well, I'll try to make my goal by …
- As I have seen in the previous two challenges I've been in prior to the Independence, attrition runs high. Right now we have about 33% still actively participating, many never even started after signi…
- http://bretcontreras.com/how-being-overweight-can-make-you-fatigued-and-inactive/ This is a fairly interesting read. Perhaps it's nothing you didn't already know--weight gain is a vicious circle. Some…
- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants I keep seeing this as recommended reading in various posts on the message boards so I finally read …
- I tend toward tyrannical edicts so I'd like to put this up for a vote. Resolved: Independence Challengers will no longer use nor tolerate the use of the following phrase and its variations as it has s…
- Well that's it on the April Fool Challenge. Thanks for joining the group. We dropped a few hundred pounds and stuck with it. Special thanks to Shmu for taking the spreadsheet to the next level for us.…
- Welcome to the Independence Challenge. This is a follow-on challenge from the April Fool Challenge using similar procedures. Go to the entry form address and enter your MFP userid, starting weight, go…
- Well here we go. Glad to have a big group starting off. Everyone is all motivated and hopeful. It's like starting a marathon, at the starting line everyone is all happy and excited. Then you get to mi…
- Hi Folks, Sorry for the confusion on the sign-up procedure. If you have joined the group but not yet entered data on the form at the address listed on the Group homepage then please do so. Shmu has ch…
- So, if you are like me, you have not yet reached your ultimate goal weight. Or, like some of our current group, you are starting maintenance and need that extra support to keep you on track and lock i…
- Well shoot! I had this nice loss all ready to go last week and then poof, I got cocky and turned it into a one pound gain. It is becoming quite clear to me that the close one gets to the green BMI zon…
- We have 70 that have joined this challenge but only 42 on the spreadsheet. Those of you who have not used the data entry form at the address listed on the group homepage need to get your name and data…
- Our next weigh in is Monday, then if you are still ten or twenty pounds from your goal like me, you can also do our final weigh-in on Tuesday, April First and hopefully squeeze in under the wire.:bigs…
- If you are in for another go, just search the groups page for "independence challenge" and join up. Shmu has out done himself on the IT support!!
- As expected, I backslid a bit this week. The hotel/pub life is just not the place to lose weight. I think I recovered some over the weekend. I'm highly motivated for a good week this week. I have to s…
- For those new to MFP, as you lose weight your base calorie expenditures decrease (you are not lugging around all that extra luggage). So, to maintain a constant weight loss rate you have to decrease y…
- It's Friday, the spreadsheet is about 70% complete for this week. :grumble: Don't be Foolish, be a good fool and log your weight and stay in the game. Mule :smokin:
- Seems to be a theme this week that many of us are falling down on weekends. I know eating is a big part of weekends, we have time to cook, we like to go out for dinner and live a little. :laugh: :flow…
- As predicted, we have had a pretty good attrition rate. I've deleted those listed on the spreadsheet that have not entered a weight since the first week of the challenge in January. For those of you s…
- For our American membership this Sunday is the Super Bowl for the National Football League and it's like a national holiday. :drinker: That means lots of Super Bowl parties with particularly decadent …
- Many thanks to our member who laid in advanced logic formulas in the spreadsheet that automates alot of the stuff I was doing manually. I got a note from whomever it was but I can't seem to find it an…
- I just can't leave well enough alone.:devil: So, as I look at the first week's results and everyone's goals it is obvious that not all goals are created equal. To give a bit more context to each perso…
- I think the issue is cleared, others are now entering data. I have set my goal loss at 25lbs. We have essentially 13 weeks to work with, this is just under 2lbs/week. This will be a stretch goal for m…
- Welcome to the April Fool Challenge. This is a sequel to the Christmas 2013 Challenge but all new-comers are welcome. A spreadsheet is available to set and track your goal and log your Monday morning …
- Ok, some more procedural guidance. We have 63 signed into the group so far, around 32 have entered their MFP userid on the spreadsheet. Those who have not put your user name on the list, please do (if…
