Hello Mefites

Three days in, and I've already contributed nutritional information for Culver's butterburgers and cheese curds.  Maybe I'm not fully grasping the philosophy of this site.

I don't know how to reply here

But I figured it was a way for me to get "checked up on" for actually doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

 

I had to provide a lot of info on fitday.com, too.

Yeah, I think the main guts of the site is the nutritional info, and the daily logging of food.

Culvers ... hmm ...

gmaps pedometer

Hi all

Thought I'd share a tip... I've been using the google maps pedometer (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/) to track the walking that I do as part of my daily routine.  I think I first learned about it on Metafilter, actually.

 

Cheers!

Just Got Here

I had to use my old internet handle since my new one wouln'd fit. Stupid web 2.0!

I'm really fat (320 lbs. @ 5'10") have a for-reals hormone problem (hypogonadism controlled with testosterone shots), smoke a pack a day, eat nothing but crap and don't exercise at all right now.

I joined We Endure a long time ago, but made no use of it becasue I didn't feel comfortable in the "super-fit" atmosphere there. I doubt I'll ever run a marathon, triathalon or anything else that requires serious running. At my weight, going out for a run is just begging for one of my knees to blow out.

I set up super-light goals of 7 minutes on the bike at home each day and 20 minutes of relatively easy-paced swimming at the Y on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I plan to increase these at time progresses and maybe start weights later on.

Sorry to be so tl;dr, but I'm 38, in terrible shape and I want to live to see my kids into adulthood. So my goal is to get down to 220 lbs. from 320, which at 5'10" is probably still obese according to the BMI chart, but is a hell of a lot better than I am now.

If I become un-fat, does that mean I lose my right to righteous indignation in the obesity threads?

Hi!!

I'm actually zorrine on mefi, because aeiou was already taken when I signed up. Anyway, I'm psyched to have goals and a group of people to help me stay focused, so yay metafilter!

Hey everyone!

I'm ridiculously excited to be part of this.. A few years ago I lost a bunch of weight and due to a lot of stress, anxiety, depression and other crap, I gained it back.

I've since picked up some new coping skills to handle the crappy stuff and now I need to lose the weight again and keep it off.. 

Can't wait to get to know everyone a bit...
