Don't try to "do a diet"... just cut back on things you know are bad for you and exercise. Every once in a while I get the urge to try a fad diet or try insanity or p90x or whatever but at the end of the day eating good food and riding my ### off on my bike is the thing that works for me and the weight is falling off faster than I can believe.
Yeah its pretty disgusting. I am looking to drop about 120 in total which would put me at my high school playing weight but with out as much muscle :( . Also been noticing a pick up in the secks department, the rewards are fantastic!
I wouldn't even bother with 4 hour body right now. Just get on stick with myfitnesspal until you lose a bunch of weight...it will happen, just read this thread. Once you get to your goal (or plateau), then you can change some things up.
Nice job man!This is how the app works, it doesn't drop off all at once, you don't magically wake up one day and are 30lbs lighter. It takes work and consistency. Stick with it and it will work, this thread is littered with success stories. If it was easy there would be a pill for it, takes determination and will. Keep up the good work guys.Down another #. 17# in 9 weeks
Weekends seem to be our arch nemesis in this thread
. You have the right attitude. What is done is done, now have a good week and get on with it. Good luck!
Nice job Irish! Just enjoy the drafts while you're there and be careful not to let it turn in to multiple weeks
Fantastic work!!!The success stories keep mounting.It would be really fun if we were able to look ahead 1 year from now and see who was able to maintain their new weight. It is something that concerns me but I just have to take this day by day like an alcoholic I guess
good luck! Just keep using it every day even if you know you had a bad day. Consistency and time are your friends. And post a lot with questions and comments.
I set it so friends can see it. Not sure if we are friends? I am Prosopis there as well.
Sorry I have not checked in for a while. My goal was 150 and I hit 149.2 today. I am now aiming for less then 10% body fat.I am currently at 13.2%. I set MYP for 145 lbs as my new goal. I am pretty stoked with my progress. My waist is down to 36" from 41" in January.
Yeah. When you set it up, you enter a name/password. It will sync automatically, no matter what device you log in from.
Good luck man. Luckily you have lost the weight before and know how to do. Plus, you had/have a good exercise ethic and know what foods work. Hope your back heals up soon and you can at least get the next half marathon in if not November. Do you hit up the hotel gyms when you travel or do you travel to areas that have the same fitness centers that you could become a member?
been half assing the app - I know I know - however I was 192 this morning.
- ALTHOUGH, don't rub it in an that you can be half assing it and still losing the weight.
I use to be anti carb as well and now I just do not worry about them. I make sure I am always under my target by 100-500 calories and for the most part I do not worry about what I am eating as long as I am under the goal. The weight is just falling off me (helps that I am 300+). In a given week I will eat two slices of white pizza, some General Tso's chicken and even some sushi and I have not had a problem losing weight. As others have said, the app has zero issues with syncing. I use it on my droid phone and droid tablet and it works flawlessly.
Well I dropped the first 20 pretty quickly 210-215. I've been "stuck" at 193-195 since April.But vacations and weekends I just abandoned everything.Been working out a lot which helps but have semi committed myself again.Just want to hit 180 - that's my comfort weight.been half assing the app - I know I know - however I was 192 this morning.
you can put in decimal amounts.
ahh, okay. Moving on to a sandwhich. This might take me a week to figure out. I type in 'pepper turkey with munster' and get 'no results'.
Try each ingredient separate - what type of bread? what type of meat? what type of cheese? etc - I found that to be the most frustrating aspect of the app at first but after a few days, it comes naturally. You can use quick tools and just put the calories in if you know them - I don't like that because I track some nutritional info but it's an option. Also, if you each the same food fairly often, you can search by recent or most used so you don't have to enter it each time. Good luck.ahh, okay. Moving on to a sandwhich.

scan the bar code of each ingredient and it'll load everything for you. "sandwhich"ahh, okay. Moving on to a sandwhich. This might take me a week to figure out. I type in 'pepper turkey with munster' and get 'no results'.
Build the sandwich by yourself using the ingredients. Go to the recipe tab, and then scroll to where it says "create a recipe". Then pick out the individual ingredients.Once the recipe is saved you can use it always. Saves a ton of time especially for items you eat often.ahh, okay. Moving on to a sandwhich.

I've never counted a calorie in my life, so I'm not sure what a homemade sandwich would approximate. I did find a 'pepper turkey with cheese' on there for 370 calories. But I can't see what else it lists on the sandwich on my crappy blackberry. Just reads 'peppered turkey sandwich with cheese a...."Try each ingredient separate - what type of bread? what type of meat? what type of cheese? etc - I found that to be the most frustrating aspect of the app at first but after a few days, it comes naturally.

Can't click anything further to see. I'll do it your way. I tend to eat the same thing daily, so this shouldn't be too too hard.Thanks fellas.
eating the same thing every day will make it really easy because often used foods are listed for you.I've never counted a calorie in my life, so I'm not sure what a homemade sandwich would approximate.

Just save it as a recipe and it is always there whether you ate it yesterday or last year.

There are certain features that are only available on the web interface. If you look through the thread you can find a bunch of user names you can add as friends. Mine is BigGreenEgg99
Making excuses worse than Otis, least he made it a day or two before he threw in the towelWhole lot easier to do this on my desktop computer than my phone.
fest, which means I'll probably find it fun.
Pretty sure the most it will let you put in is 2lbs/week as that is what they consider healthy weight loss. I've been locked on that since I started in January.
I have been using 1 pound a week as a setting but have been beating that net calorie goal quite easily so far. I have lost an average of 2.8 pounds per week (6 weeks in).
