Thanks for all the ideas.

I'm finally getting some traction by using the Weight Watcher calculator to count calories. I'm not going to the meetings but my sister is, and I find the calculator...

I'm afraid I will be giving WB up for lent. I will be starting a full-time job soon, my first since doing graduate studies, so I will have to get back into the swing of things. Section hiking only...

Well done, and enjoy your hike. Good luck.

Thanks for the link.

6 foot **** all. Mostly legs, and gut. Since 20 I've ranged 160 to 230, but I haven't seen much under 185 for the past 10 years. My waistline is consistently about 1" for every 5 pounds of body...

Thanks for all the advise and experience. Still stuck around 210#. Started a morning paper route a few weeks ago and I love it but its not paying off weight wise yet. Snow it finally here for...

Thanks for posting that because I've fallen off the diet and exercise wagon again, and we finally had some xc-ski conditions this weekend, so I'm really ticked off at myself. Will start fresh yet...

The only trouble you might get into with calories is if you tried to figure out how we could possible stay warm at night while producing only 60 gram calories of heat per hour = 0.070 watts. The...

Good luck with that foot, and be careful, as they only issue two.

That sounds about right.

Interesting article. It is good, but like most such rules of thumbs, even from well done research, they tend to over-generalize a little, in one way or another. When I examined this closely a few...

Sorry about that. I should just say cal for calorie, because everyone knows I am talking about dietary calories, but the engineer can't help saying kcal for kilocalories because a dietary calorie is...

Thanks Sailing Faith and Old Boots. Awesome. I will stick to walking and light jogging without extra weight for now, until my left hip feels stronger. I will work in some weights, most most calories...

I checked map my run and it was a 4 mile walk 1 mile run, but I think I only burn 100kcal per km walking, and 100 kcal per mile running. I'm 213 pounds, plus some winter clothes, and hills. Anyhow,...
