I'm new! I could use some direction. The most consistent thing I do is run. I've done 3 half marathons and various other distance races, and I have dabbled in lifting - I made it to Stage 4 of NROLFW befor something got in the way (or I got bored) and stopped. My food is kind of all over the place. I have a massive sweet tooth, I love carbs, and I snack WAY TOO MUCH. I've tried weight watchers, calorie counting, Paleo, etc. I need something that sticks. It's really just food that is my downfall. I would like to lose the weight and get a bit more toned, I don't need to be a bikini model. I just want to feel comfortable in clothes, and not feel like the bloated elephant that I feel like now. I'd like to have the self esteem I see others have, and being referred to as hot wouldn't hurt either. Advice? My Fitness Pal Diary I've tracked everything I've consumed so far today as well as Dinner. I'm planning on 3.5 miles (ish) running this afternoon once I get home from work. Here is where I currently stand: Current Weight: 187.8 Goal Weight: 160? Measurements: Neck 13.0†Waist 30.0†Hips 41.0†Bicep (Left) 12.5†Mid-Thigh (Left) 24.0†Calf (Left) 16.0â€

Main Quest: To lose weight (7 lbs for now), and fit loosely in my size 10 shorts. Long term I want to get down to a size 8 and look lean / fit (so I won't really care about the weight at that point, but it's a decent measurement to take for progress). 3 Goals: - Track activity and food on Myfitnesspal.com (daily) - Do HIIT for cardio 2x week - Add 2 new paleo recipes to my "staples" Life quest: Take a photography or art class. I've been meaning to do this on my time off, but never get around to it. This kind of stuff relaxes me, and I tend to have a stressful job, so definitely would be a good healthy passtime. Motivation: I've been working on being healthy for a while now - started at 218 lbs and now down to 173 (78.5 kilos). It's been tough, slow process that has taken about 5 years, so far, and I know will be a lifelong thing. BUT...I am engaged, and we will be taking pictures in October...so yeah, definitely want to look fabulous for those pictures, but I'm not about to starve myself. This is going to be done the right, healthy way! oh, btw, did I mention I pretty much fly around the world for work every month? until next time.......

Has anyone found a convenient way to export myfitnesspal data easily? I've got about a month and a half of data now and I'd like to manipulate it a little more than they allow. Thoughts?

Name: Kingclumsy Class: Ranger Strength (STR) - 2 Dexterity (DEX) - 1 A ranger without dexterity? Its in the name. I'm clumsy, I'm awkward Stamina (STA) - 3 Given enough focus, no power in the universe can stop me... hopefully. Constitution (CON) - 3 Wisdom (WIS) - 2 I'm smart? Yes. I'm wise? No Charisma (CHA) - 4 I set myself these tasks over the next six weeks. Fitness Goals Skate Like the Wind: I'm not ashamed to say I've fallen in love with the sport of Roller Derby. I started their last frsh meat back in february but stopped due to lack of confidence and a fractured rib (mostly the latter) their next intake will probably be not long after this challenge finishes and I really want to take part with the eventual aim of being a referee. I suck royally at skating but absolutely love it. Currently the only place to skate is outdoors so I've purchased outdoor wheels. My Goal: 24 Hours of total Skate time over 6 weeks. Even if for fifteen minutes, it all helps. (weather permitting) (+3 STA, +1Str) Start with myself and the world will follow hart what I eat: Using Myfitnesspal . keep track of what I eat. aim for 100g of protein a day (especially on excercise days) and to hit the correct no. of calories (+2 Wisdom +1Constitution) Go to the Gym twice a week: This is a minimum. If the weather sucks and I cannot skate, I should go more often. I walk past it on the way home from work, I have no reason not to. +2 STR, +1 WIS Derby Stance!: If there is one excercise that helps me skate, its squats. So I've set myself the challenge of squatting 70kilos for five reps by the end of the challenge. I can currentl comfortably squat 50kg so this isn't too much of a challenge. +3STR Life Goals: Keep the House tidier: Clean up after myself around the house, simple enough. +2 WIS. I'll need help for this, this is my fourth attempt. follow me on twitter @king_clumsy and if you're on myfitnesspal I'm kingclumsy. Onwarrrrdd!
