Re: Calorie Counting
I'm using MyFitnessPal calorie counting app to know how much calories I'm spending every day. It's very convenient, here is the description. It allows making your diet schedule according to your physical activities, strongly recommend to everyone.

I should sue these guys, I had the same idea years ago.
That was really well done.

Re: Calorie Counting
Never trust a scale, Kep.
Tuesday, went to my general practitioner, and my weight was 216.x.
Yesterday, went to an orthopedic doctor, and my weight was 210.6.
If you wish to gauge your progress on fat loss, check your waist and hip measurements every two weeks or so.

Re: Calorie Counting
Weight can fluctuate day to day. Especially if you’re wearing clothes.
Most digital scales are pretty dang accurate and provide repeatable results. Just calibrate it once a year and it will be fine.
But your advice about measurements is good. That helps you gauge fat loss. Especially important if you’re also doing lifting.

Re: Calorie Counting
I'm just never sure where to measure my waist and hips. Feels like I measure too high or too low.

Re: Calorie Counting
Different scales.
I use the same scale, same time of day. I assume individual data points will have error so I use trendlines. I'm looking for long, long term change. I'm not sweating the data set until I get to around 100 days. For example, my blood pressure data set, which I do use to suggest some decisions, is over 5 years old with a thousand data points.
In general I have a healthy relationship with data. I use it as a pointer, not as an action driver. It suggests things to me, it doesn't order me around and I don't reify it.

Re: Calorie Counting
I didn't even know hips changed. Or is this a euphemism for measuring the butt?
For waist I'm pretty sure where to measure -- it's the maximum point of protrusion. But you could use a landmark -- a door knob or something that's fixed height.

Re: Calorie Counting
Do both. They measure different things. Hips are at the widest part of your hips. Waist is your natural waist, but I've also seen as many say it's your bellybutton.
I'm guessing one measures gut fat (bellybutton) the other gets part of your *** fat.

Re: Calorie Counting
I was never sure WHERE to measure. I always measure waist too high at belly button.

Re: Calorie Counting
That, and diet.
A brisk walk for 30 mins 5 days a week will do it.
That, and diet.

Skip the liquid calories in any form (pop, booze, sweet tea, etc.) and be active. It makes a huge difference.

Now if you could just double your craps per day you'd be a weight losing machine
