Unexpected/Unwanted side effects
I have a couple: My wedding band will probably be too big when I reach my goal, it's already getting pretty loose, it is titanium so it can't be re-sized. Have to buy another I guess. Also, I have so much more energy now I can't sleep as long as I'd like. I wake up usually an hour before I have to get up for work and not…

Woke up in ONEderland
It was actually Saturday morning, but I wanted to make sure it was for real so I waited 4 days. Been at least 12 years since I weighed less than 200 lbs. I started last February on MFP at 237.5 but I'm sure at some point I was closer to 250. So after 1 year and a couple set backs I have accomplished my first major goal of…

I did something really odd.
So far I have lost about 35 lbs which is equivalent to about 4 gallons of water (1 gal = 8.34lbs) in weight. I wanted to see how it would feel to have that weight back on so I took 4 gallons of water and strapped it to my waist with a belt. I felt so heavy and my legs started aching after just a few minutes walking around.…

Sneaky Ads
If you use a touchscreen to navigate MFP (or anywhere else), be careful. There is an Ad I saw this morning that makes is look like there are smudges on your screen. Just a trick to make you touch the screen to wipe it off. May not be something new, I just hadn't seen it before.

Chicken Burrito
Not sure if this is technically a burrito, if it's wrapped in a tortilla I call it a burrito. Last night I was home by myself and looking for something for supper, standing there in the pantry i grabbed a can of chunk chicken breast, a can of rotel tomatos with green chilis, and a can of enchilada sauce that had been in…

Total Gym
Wondering about the Total Gym, the one pushed by Wesley Snipes and Chuck Freakin' Norris. I have access to one and wondered if anyone had any experience with it and how they liked it.

My first NSV
Where I work we have some stairs that are 72 steps. Less that a year ago, just one trip up those stairs and i would be so out of breath I could barely talk. Last week we had to do some emergency work in the area that the steps lead to because of some flooding. Through the night I made anywhere from 40 to 50 trips up those…

Hurts like hell.
On Friday I did my first real weight workout, it was a dumbbell only legs and shoulders workout, and today is supposed to be a chest and triceps workout. Problem is I am still extremely sore from the Friday workout. I'm talking getting around like a 90 year old man sore. I want to do the workout, should I though? Or should…

Workout ideas when traveling
So, looks like the weather isn't going to allow me to go hiking or golfing tomorrow after class like I had planned, it looks like I may be confined to my hotel room. Needing some good ideas for a workout, thinking about taking a jump rope and doing that and some pushups and sit ups. The place I'll be staying does not have…

I hate it when...
The day after your normal weigh in day you step on the scales and you are considerably lighter than you were the day before. Like this morning I was almost 2 lbs lighter that yesterday morning.

Mexican Resturaunt
Like Peurto Vallarta. I'll be eating at one this weekend, what should I get that is somewhat healthy. I like Camarones Jalisco but that is probably a no-no.

Dumbell only workout
I am wanting to start adding in some wight training to my exercise and I like the simplicity of just using dumbells. I know there are several dumbell only programs out there but wasn't sure what weight I should start at, # of sets/reps, and what-not. I'm not wanting to build crazy amounts of muscle just fill in the areas I…

Not my success.
This isn't my success story, it is my wife, Lisa's. We started WW back last summer together and stopped after 2 or 3 months. We both lost weight but after stopping WW , going on vacation and quitting tobacco, I gained back all I'd lost but Lisa maintained for a bit and then in early winter she started attacking her fat…

Ideal heart rate
According to my HRM, during 75 minutes on the elliptical my max HR was 142 and averaged 126. It shows a target of 120 and when I get above that it indicates fitness and below it indicates fat burn. My question is what would be a good range for my HR and how much attention should I pay to the fitness/fat burn on my HRM. My…
