Default A really idiotic caloric burn rate question

I figure that logging everything into the WW Online tool every day is
how I've progressed thus far. For me, vagueness--not knowing what and
how much I ate--got me fat and kept me there. Clarity--knowing exactly
what and how much I'm eating--is getting me healthy and will be
required to keep me there. Whether I continue to use WW Online or
switch to something like DietPower, I figure tracking my food is part
of the way of life I'm adopting. I don't like to log everything in,
but I'm resigned to it being what I need to do to reach and maintain
my goal. Speaking for myself only...

How does that work with WW? I have an older version of that progam but got
tired of logging everything in everyday.

Watch out for the round-house and don't get derailed.

weight loss, home renovation, and biking. Enough to keep most

Lesanne did discover that it was a program error. Oh well, so I over exagerated

darn incline walking is not easy.

Sorry Joyce, but I can't be of ANY help to you, since I don't even
understand the QUESTION. This reads like the kind word problem in math
that would make my eyes glaze over--if a train heading East from
Chicago travels at a speed of 200 mph and a train heading South from
Minneapolis travels at a speed of 100 mph, which one will arrive in
Seattle last?

Sure hope someone can give you the answer.

Ok, one for you gurus ... if there even is an explanation. And if there is,
please give it to me in terms I can understand. g

I'm using the diet program Lesanne has spoken about and noticed what I think is a
*quirk* ... maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't have a clue. But since this is
automatically calculated based on my weight and height along with the info I add
(miles/time), I'm making an assumption that there must be some kind of a
difference in these activities. So here goes ... I work out on the treadmill,
which is a speed factored activity (so this program tells me). This program says
that someone my weight and height will burn 0.0874 calories/minute if walking at
roughly 4MPH. BUT ... if going for a non speed factored brisk walk at 4MPH (15
miles per minute) it says I will burn at a rate of 0.03174/minute. Can anyone
explain to me why the difference rate of caloric expenditure between the two
activities? Or is it solely because on a treadmill it is a constant, automated
speed?

I am sooooooooooo confused! g

Tracking my food is a big part of my definition of being OP. If I'm
not tracking my food, even if I'm careful about my choices, I'm not on
program. If I am tracking my food, even if I'm going over my daily
target or blown all my flex points, I'm still OP. Tracking my food is
THAT important. Not anal. Essential. And so are those other numbers
for you if that's what keeps you on the losing side.

I do the same. I log everything I eat (except low cal fluids like diet
coke). I also log all exercise. All done at www.fitday.com. I guess
I'll have to log everything for the foreseable future. It's far too
easy for me to go off track if I don't log.
Of course I log other stuff in excel, like weight over time, and
various measurements, and bodyfat, and calories, and... and...
Is that anal or what?

I do write down everything I eat (most of the time). This week I have been
really good about doing it and so far I have done really well (imagne that)
for me right now counting points and keeping track of one thing is easier
than logging all the values that dietpower has you enter.

I log faithfully whenever I want to lose.....
Then I break from logging and go up a pound or two....
then I log again and lose....

you must have a really old version of D.P. I just enter the foods, and many
of the things I eat are "favorites".. The whole days food takes maybe 3
minutes and it tells me all kinds of good stuff. Not just my calories, but
all the other nutrients as well.

Yes, I get the same results as you when logging and not logging. No
matter how many times I experiment to get different results, the same
thing always happens. Some day I'll get a clue and stop experimenting.

speak for me also, if I do not write it down it is too easy to overdo and
writing it down occupies the perfectionist in me so I get double value, Lee
