My Philosophy on Diet and Weight Loss
I am mostly posting this to try to stop compulsively answering all the posts from people I want to help with the same message again and again, in the hopes that a central thread will be useful to some readers and perhaps attract some argument and discussion that could improve my approach or just frustrate me (I hear…

Osric's Thread
The way I'm thinking this group will work is we'll each create a thread for our data, and look and comment on each other's data and results. Hopefully we will all love learning from each other! My main charts are trendweight.com. Here's 4w: And here's 3m: I'll add longer timeframes as they get encouraging to me :-) Osric

2015 in Review
Well, overall I could be happier, and I could be sadder. Looking forward to the influx of new people as everyone's new year's resolve gets us off to a good start! Osric

Lots of members, no activity...
Would love to see people posting and starting discussions amongst ourselves here! Osric

The price of the party
I've been waiting to have a special event so that we can see what that looks like on the trend graph. It finally happened yesterday -- a games night/party with chips, cheese & crackers, pepperoni sticks, cake, ice cream, and fruit and veggie trays with dips. I knew I'd see the results today and sure enough my first bad…

How to make a trendweight.com thread for yourself
First, visit trendweight.com, and click on the "share" button. It is at the far right of the strip of buttons at the top, and it is only available if you are viewing the desktop site, not the mobile site. Then choose one of the URLs there, and use the image drop down to put the image into your post. E.g. for me the image…

Data Trackers Unite
I'll use the first post of this thread to link people's different tracking methods, and we can discuss and encourage on the tail of the thread. My next post will be about me - if you're interested, introduce yourself and put your charts in and let's hold each other accountable! Osric P.S. Sections for each person who joins…

Just Do It
I love the Nike slogan. It simply captures what is at once so hard and so easy about this. Just Do It. Weight loss or gain is a simple matter of physical laws, of burning energy to create or destroy fat. If we Just Do It, we will succeed. Just Do It doesn't mean it'll be fun all the time. Just Do It doesn't mean we can…

When did you last weigh what you weigh today?
Today I'm at 209, a weight I've not been at in almost exactly 1 year. I'm looking forward to getting back to my 2008 weights ... At my lowest dip in 2008 I weighed less than I ever have during my adult life! How about you? Osric

Science only please - the case against 1200 kcals
OK I am really tired of seeing all these threads where people are slamming everyone on a low-calorie plan. I am incredibly tired of seeing the threads where someone posts "I'm eating 1200 kcals and not losing weight" and seeing nonsense like "eat more" instead of sense like "weigh your @!#%amn food". However I am…

Hacker's Diet Fan
I've been posting here and there with my opinions but I thought maybe I should start a thread to explain where I'm coming from and why I think what I do to find like minded (and critical) people to support (and challenge) me. My first well documented attempt to lose weight focused on exercise: lots and lots of exercise.…

Calorie Burn Accuracy - Rowing
I've seen various posts by people wondering what machines are accurate/not accurate for calorie burn. I just did a 5k row on a Concept 2 rower, wearing a bodymedia device, and the rower and my bodymedia agree quite well. So at least for rowing, where presumably the calorie burn is calculated by measuring how much energy…

Starting Strength - Looking for partners
I seem to be having trouble sticking to my goal of doing Starting Strength. It'd help if someone was doing it with me, we can check up on each other and it'll motivate me to know I've committed to someone that I'm doing it when I feel like I just have to cut corners and head to work or sleep in an extra 30m instead of…
