Jacq's JUDDD Journal
7/14 Start 183.4 / 35 / 38 / 31 (Wt / BFat% / TWater% / TMuscle %)
In pounds that's 64.2 fat / 69.7 water / 56.9 muscle.
Weird. So I must have negative bone mass of 7.8 pounds.
After 4 weeks on JUDDD, am at...
173 / 33.5 / 40.8 / 31.2 #'s and %'s
57.9 fat / 70.6 water / 54 muscle
Bone mass has reduced another 1.7 pounds??
Oh well, moving right along...
I'm at losing 2.9 pounds of muscle. In the beginning, my muscle was even increasing a little bit but then I got lax about getting protein in on DD's. Back to shooting for at least 75 g and preferably 100 g of protein on DD's. Will monitor more closely, start lifting heavier and re-calculate in another 4 weeks.

Aug 11 - goal 175.7 - actual 173.0
Aug 18 - goal 174.1
Going to pump up the fat and volume a bit. Had a bacon + lettuce sandwich for lunch with real mayo. 1/2 c of (very salty) pumpkin seeds ready for a throughout the day snack.
Menu for rest of today:
- pm fruit bowl with watermelon, cherries and blueberries, whey shake and 2 c of snap peas I have to eat up,
- dessert is blueberries with 18% cream and a sprinkle of sugar
- dinner is an appetizer of herb and garlic shrimp, broccoli salad (moderate low fat recipe with mostly high protein yogurt as the base) and beef lo mein (moderate noodles with extra broccoli and beef)
- evening is 2 glasses chardonnay.
Ugh. That's a lot of food. Not sure if I can eat it all but I'll try. Almost 100g of protein for the day.

Typical down day menu
Thanks zipp! I couldn't eat all of it, not even close. Oh well. I'd say "maybe tomorrow" but it's actually "day after tomorrow".
I lose very quickly down to 150 and then stall out. Have done this 1/2 dozen times over the last dozen years. I'm trying to take it down more slowly now and then hopefully won't stall out later. Or get diet fatigue - just want a WOE that is long term sustainable and not crash-gain-crash-gain.
Here's the tentative / on hand menu for today - zero hunger so far at 10 a.m. and I don't start eating for the day until I feel some sign of hunger. Seems to come around noon-2 p.m. on a DD (noon on UD's). That's a fairly good fasting window I think?
1/2 french onion laughing cow on a Suzie's thin cake (~30 cal)
tuna salad lettuce wrap made w/FF mayo, pickle & 1/2 can of tuna (~80 cal)
chicken bacon & egg white omelet (~120 cal)
0% greek yogurt mixed w/a few frozen blueberries and a sprinkle of stevia (~130 cal) - like this at night since I get a very full feeling w/greek yogurt, not any other kind.
Any of: cucumbers, salad w/yogurt dressing, beets, tomatoes, broccoli
Mixed a cookies and cream protein shake w/almond milk this morning and am using it for coffee creamer. The protein powder tastes too sweet on its own to me and I still have a huge bag of it left.
All of above is ~ 80 g protein and I'm shooting for a little more. Maybe a roast beef lettuce wrap or another whey shake depending on if I have chewing hunger or not later today. So somewhere around 600 calories +/- which is right where I want to be.
size 32 jeans all fit - but the camel called and said he wants his toe back. Maybe in the next week or two I can wear them out in public.
Moved size 30 jeans into corner of the closet. Shocked that if I laid down on the bed, I could actually get them on. And buttoned! Even more shocked that at almost 48 y.o. I still do stupid things like that.

Note to self on greek yogurt
Greek yogurt = Complete. Appetite. Killer. (For me.)
Today, starting about noon, had:
- B - almond milk (20) + cookies & cream PP (110)
- L - lettuce wrap with tuna + FF mayo (80)
- Mid-day snack - 3 thin cakes (50) w/ 1.5 laughing cow cheese (40)
- D - 2 roast beef lettuce wraps w/scant full fat herb & garlic cream cheese (90?)
- D - salad w/yogurt dressing (Bolthouse Farms chunky blue cheese) (30), cucumbers (?? - I'm NOT going to count cucumbers. I did not get fat by eating too many cucumbers.)
- Evg snack - 0% plain greek yogurt (80) mixed with 0% source dessert yogurt (35) - ugh. Too sweet / chemical tasting - who eats these things??
- few glasses of lemonade made with realemon and sweetener
- stole a few bites of my son's minute steak at dinner - yikes I was under plan - could have stolen more!
- about 5 che-chas
Total somewhere around 600.
Tomorrow (UD), I've got a 9% greek yogurt with honey lined up. I mix 1/2 the single serving with about the same amount of 0% plain greek yogurt to cut the overpowering sweetness. It's about 2/3-3/4 of a cup in total or so. I had the other 1/2 last up day and it killed my appetite for ~ 4 hours. The combo of the two together is somewhere around 200 calories. But I don't count on UD's (and actually don't usually count on DD's either if I stick to low fat, protein and veggies) since I haven't really had to yet. Promised myself I would start if I wasn't losing. I hate counting.
Next down day will experiment by having the greek yogurt for a mid-pm snack since I get a little too hungry right before supper and like to eat with the boys at about 7. But now, 1/2 hour after eating this magical stuff, I'm just way too full. It's a rather unpleasant feeling.

Diet history #1 - the roaring 20's
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, then I'm certifiable.
I believe it's important to go back through whatever area you have difficulties with and see what the patterns are that caused the failure.
I grew up on a beef / mixed farm with potatoes and grass fed beef at every meal, overcooked vegetables and dessert about 1/2 the time (canned fruit, fruit pies, stuff like that). None of us were overweight (8 kids) except my father at 220# or so at 5'8". Considering he's 93 y.o. now and doesn't take any medication and only stopped farming in his late 80's I guess he did something right. But we were very active.
Moved away from home at 16 and had unrestricted access to junk food - which I'd never had before. My love affair with potato chips and french fries began then. And going out drinking with friends of course along with stopping at Denny's at 3 a.m. By the time I was ~19 or 20, I had gained about 40-50 pounds and topped the scale at 174.
I went on the Scarsdale Diet and stuck to the plan with insane self-discipline that I can't even fathom having now. I really do hate green beans. But I ate them. I lost 22 pounds in the first 2 weeks of that diet - from 174 to 152. Then you're supposed to take a 2 week break and basically just avoid sugars and too much fat but I was too eager for results and kept on going. Lost 12 pounds my second 2 weeks and was down to 140. I can't recall how long the rest took to come off, but I recall that I got down to 123 within a couple of months. Sure, I felt dizzy when I stood up and all that but I was SKINNY!! Unhealthy as hell I'm sure, but skinny.
I stayed at that weight and started to eat more healthy until I got pregnant with my oldest son at 21. I gained 60 pounds in those 9.5 months (he was 2 weeks overdue) and topped the scales at 182 in May 1988 when he was born. Without my setpoint / cut-off of 125, I didn't seem to know how to be stable. So back on a diet again. I was scheduled to be a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding in early August 1988. Somehow I managed to fit into my dress weighing ~150.
In September, I went back to University still wearing maternity outfits of my dad's shirts and stirrup pants. We were stone broke without enough $ to buy food for both of us, so the little guy got fed and I went to my parents and ate on weekends, brought home leftovers and basically starved the rest of the time. Eventually that fall I stabilized at about 120 pounds or so and could fortunately wear my own non-maternity clothes again.
But a bad lesson was learned - that less (food) was more (weight loss). And that I could and should lose what in hindsight was super crazy fast losses that a contestant on The Biggest Loser would probably love to have. If it wasn't working, I only had to try harder. No rest for the dieting wicked!
From 1988 to 1997, I stayed around 120-127 with a brief dip down to 115 after a bad break-up in 1992 when I started obsessively exercising to get my mind off of things. My period stopped then for a couple of months. Fortunately I had a stressful workplace to go to with lots of OT so no time to exercise (articling student), so I packed those 10 pounds back on effortlessly.

Diet history #2 - the non-smoking 30's
On May 18, 1997 I quit smoking. In the beginning I actually lost weight as I replaced the mouth hunger with about a 1/2 gallon pail a day of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. I chewed until my jaws hurt.
Some time that summer I went to Weight Watchers weighing in the mid 130's, completely horrified that I'd gained that much weight. I lost down to 130 or so and figured I could handle the rest on my own (and I hated counting everything and having to have X servings of this and Y servings of that.) By that fall, I'd managed to convince myself that it was ok to eat whatever I wanted since at least I wasn't smoking! I gained another 20 or so pounds and then went on Atkins. It was difficult since I'm not a big meat-lover and there were no real recipe books, resources or forums back then like there are now. I had also been very fat-in-my-food-phobic prior to that and regardless of whether that's "healthy" or not (I believe it depends on the person's individual biology), it did work for me to keep my weight under control.
A couple of months later, I went off Atkins because I felt really horrible on it all the time. Sadly, I had lost the fat-phobia. I stayed around 150 or so until I got pregnant with my youngest in 2000 at 35 y.o. I topped out at 204 with him. We moved to TX and I went on WW weighing ~ 188 in 2003. I lost 20 pounds in 16 weeks on the program exercising an hour a day with too many Frankenfoods, banking my exercise points to pig out at Longhorns every Saturday. If you calculate each point at ~65 calories, and consider that I could inhale 35 points in a single meal there, that's over 3000 calories!
We moved back home in 2003 and I started a lower fat woe doing calorie counting (tried to stay between 1300-1800), joined TOPS, lifted weights, did step aerobics every morning (Buns of steel!), jogged 3-4 times a week and got down under 150 again and was looking pretty good.
Started a stressful job with a ton of OT in 2004 (this is a pattern) and gained 25-30 pounds in about 8 months. I quit the job when my hair started falling out in patches. (Alopecia runs in my family and no way was I going to lose my hair!)
I started another, moderately stressful job in 2005 and decided that I was tired of dieting and would be happily chubby. It sort of worked. Except I don't really like being chubby. And I don't like feeling addicted to potato chips. Or having sizes 4-14 in my closet.

Diet history #3 - over 40 and wanting to be a grown-up about food
I did ******* in 2007 or so? - lost quickly down to 150ish (some of that was probably hair)-maintained-started stressful job-gained. (I worked contract so high pay but long hours).
I had reached a high weight of 194 when I went to the Bernstein diet clinic in 2008. It was expensive, but I felt I needed the monitoring. I lost about 50 pounds in ~ 5 months and reached a low of 144. But I was squishy.
In '09 or so I tried Herbal Magic - was starting to realize there is no "magic".
In 2011, I followed Lyle Mcdonald's RFL to go from 173.8 to 159.8 over 7 weeks. I liked it because you could have a cheat meal twice a week and am quite sure I didn't lose any muscle at all on it, but it's not a WOE for life - unless you like meat a lot more than I do. I started doing calorie counting again and exercising regularly and stabilized at around 150 but fell off the wagon when I started another stressful contract in 2012. Really, can't think what's wrong with me that I can't work / commute for 70+ hours a week while being a single parent to 2 kids and 2 fur-kids - while trying to renovate a 5 bedroom house and eat / exercise consistently. I suspect that the stress from work causes off the charts cortisol => salt cravings and very poor sleep => being too tired to cook or exercise... Rinse. Repeat.
So here I am today, weighing 174 point-something after losing 10 or so pounds on JUDDD (was a high of 188 in June 2013 sometime when I finished the last contract and stopped work - probably permanently). Just looking for a sustainable WOE for the rest of my life that doesn't have me pulling my hair out or having it fall out on its own.
I hope to lose about 20 pounds or so by the end of the year and then lose the remaining 20 over the next 8 months to a year. Or longer or even never on that last 20, I don't really care. I'd consider being able to keep my weight stable at a "normal" BMI (<150) while having a normal, unstressful life as a victory at this point. I'm no longer in a race against myself and there is no real finish line.
I came to this WOE by reading up on 5:2 and watching the Horizon documentary and then looking for a forum for support. The JUDDD board looked like the most friendly, knowledgeable and forgiving place online. I belonged to the CR forum on yahoo years ago in an orthorexic (def - excessive preoccupation with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthful) stage. I don't want to be OCD like that again. Although I would love to be orthorexic with respect to potato chips for the rest of my life!

Calculating the calorie cost of potato chips over time
I hesitate to demonize any food but if there was a bad food, potato chips would be Satan.
I've calculated that when I eat badly or have regained lost weight, most of that gain has come from potato chips. The rest from a mix of chicken wings, too frequent wine and not exercising enough. Maybe the delicious baby back ribs that I make in the slow cooker. Make those less frequently (or more in the case of the working out) and I could live permanently at goal weight without even monitoring.
Think about it - say if I replaced 2 quite filling (and quick!) moderate microwave meals that run about 300 calories for a pretty decent sized serving with 2 bags of potato chips a week (yes, I *can* eat that much!) At 230 grams or ~ 8 ounces, that's 2400 calories a week. Over 52 weeks, that's 93,600 calories or 26 pounds in a year. Being unable to "have just one" Lays chip has made me fight with about 26 pounds in a year, each and every year. That's half of what I'm battling with right there.
In the last month, I've had one 150 calorie bag of chips and 1/2 of a small bag of hickory sticks. I don't miss them.
Add an additional 1/2 hour of exercise a day and it amounts to about 20 pounds a year.
Take away a bottle of wine a week (I usually have ~3 but have more coolers rather than wine in the summer which are caloric TIME BOMBS at ~250 apiece) and that's almost 9 pounds a year.
Voila. 55 pounds.
I realize everyone can't narrow down their problems quite this easily and I'm lucky that I can. Lots of people enjoy restaurant meals or cakes, cookies and chocolate more than I do. I used to as well but it just went away over the years somehow. Or I've just gotten really fussy about them. But even then, it can take me a month to get around to eating a whole chocolate bar. I used to be amazed that my mom could even do that - leave a chocolate bar in the fridge for weeks with a piece out of it and not eat the whole thing??? I get it now. Now to try to do that with this other problem food.
What I like about JUDDD is that I can more easily see that I'd be wasting a huge portion of my up day calories on macerated and compressed potatoes. But I was before, I just chose to ignore it. I don't want to be unconscious of that anymore. I need to learn how to make my own.

Battling with lack of hunger on up days
I'm probably a minority on this, but I feel so little hunger on up days - or I feel HUNGER but little to no craving.
Today, we went to the mall for lunch. (I had had some yogurt at about 11-something). The little guy picked up 2 tacos (skimpy compared to my home made version!) and I picked up pad thai and a veggie spring roll with peanut sauce for supper. I could only finish 1/4 of the pad thai and at supper, only 3/4 of the spring roll. We also picked up a roasted chicken at Costco and I had the wings (the dog got the skin because he's on a diet too and was drooling at me, poor thing) and 1/2 of a drum and am STUFFED. Also had a couple of handfuls of Kernels caramel popcorn but it was meh. My homemade version is far better. But I only make it at Christmas.
I promised myself a couple of weeks into this journey that I would try to follow intuitive eating principles on my up days. Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're satisfied. Not full-full but satisfied. So far it doesn't take much food to make me go "nope, had enough of this." I'm sort of glad about this but it just feels really weird. I suspect it's because I go so high protein on my down days that my appetite has gone south.
My oldest son ate the rest of the pad thai for supper when he came home at 8. Glad that's gone. Yikes, I'm saving a lot of money doing this!
Money which I will spend on clothes!!! I bought a cute little sweater (medium) on sale at Laura's for $7.55 (w/tax - marked down from $50). Oh how I wish I could go hog wild in the stores right now but I have a ton of clothes in my closet or boxes that I can wear at various weights below what I'm at now.
Also picked up 4 Wii games to play - EA Active, Wii Sport Resort, Just Dance 4 and Big Brain Academy. The little guy says Wii Sports is the one to play tonight.

You know, I feel less hunger on UP DAYS, but DD's some of them I am hungry ALL DAY LONG!
You know, we experience a great reduction in our grocery bill too. DH / DS14 and I all do rotations! It works well for all of us!

Way to get your family on board Monica! My oldest son works a very physical job so he doesn't have much problem controlling his weight. Plus he's 25 so basically, he could eliminate Doritos and lose 5 pounds a week.
My youngest son (almost 13) would like to lose a few pounds but I think that if he just maintains and lets himself grow into his weight, he'll be ok. I'm not buying junk food these days so that's a step in the right direction. Often children put on weight right before they shoot up in height it seems and he's a little short compared to some of his peers. I'm 5' 5.5" and his dad and brother are 6' so hopefully he'll catch up. Although his grandparents / others on his dad's side are very little people.
I do need to get more protein into my up days. Good at sticking to the minimums on DD's but this appetite suppression means I go too carb-y and not enough protein-y on up days. I really don't want to be skinny-fat!
Bought some nice looking lean burgers at Costco yesterday so am saving those for up days for the next week. If the boys don't try to beat me to it.

The trend is my friend!
7/14 Start : 183.4 / 35 / 38 / 31 (Wt / BFat% / TWater% / TMuscle %)
8/11 4 weeks in: 173.0 / 33.5 / 40.8 / 31.2
8/17 5 weeks in: 173.2 / 33.0 / 41.1 / 31.8 (after DD)
Whew! Scale weight may not have gone down week over week, but the fat % is going down and the muscle % is going up! Next goal is to get that fat % lower than the muscle %. I have a feeling it will be do-able by the end of August. Yay!
That's almost 1 pound of fat gone this week offset by over a pound of muscle gain (likely replenishment of water and glycogen stores in muscles due to exercise but I'll take it). The average woman can gain only ~ one pound of muscle per month when starting out lifting so I know I didn't gain that much for real.
Given that my calorie intake has been reduced from say TDEE of 1950-ish to ~ 650-ish 3 days a week, that's 1300 calories / day deficit (possibly less since I don't count UD's and don't want to start unless I have to) so ~ one pound. Pure fat.

This ball doesn't bounce??
I checked out the forums for when I did a PSMF (~600 calories a day) in 2011 with one planned "cheat meal" a week and one planned "5 hour refeed" per week. Strangely enough, I didn't "bounce" then either. I'm not sure why I don't? I think it might be because I sometimes have 1-2 glasses of wine on a weekday up day and ~ 3 vodka + DC or caesars on a weekend up day.
I thought it might be because initially I was taking 1 @ 150 mg magnesium citrate on up days only but then I upped that to 2-3 @ 150 mg as my tolerance increased and the laxative issue disappeared (hooray for that!) and I still don't bounce.
Here's my numbers from the PSMF. Aggghhh I hate re-losing weight I've already lost.
11/21 - 173.8 Start weight
11/22 - 173.2 (-.6)
11/23 - 172.6 (-.6)
11/24 - 171 (-1.6)
11/25 - 170 (-1)
11/26 - 169.2 (-.8)
11/27 - 169.4 (+.2)
11/28 - 168.0 (-1.4) Week 1 total: -5.8
11/29 - 168.6 (+0.6)
11/30 - 167.8 (-0.8)
12/1 - 167.4 (-0.4)
12/2 - 166.6 (-0.8)
12/3 - 167.4 (+0.8)
12/4 - 167.8 (+0.4)
12/5 - 166.2 (-1.6) Week 2 total: -1.8
12/6 - 165.8 (-0.4)
12/7 - 165.0 (-0.8)
12/10 - 164.4 (-0.6) Week 2.5 total: -1.8 ** switched to cal counting over Xmas with all the parties etc. (1500-1700)
12/24 - 163.6
12/31 - 159.8
That's 14 pounds in 7 weeks and I was all carbed / watered up at the end. Quite stable losses on that as well considering that twice a week I was carbing up. Not sure what that nice little whoosh was at the end. Probably TOM.
It might also be that I tend to eat a fair amount of fruit and veggies on up days and it kind of eliminates things the next morning. Or that I drink a lot of water on a regular basis. Yet I think I was the same way on WW and TOPS calorie counting. Oh well, it's a mystery and something to be grateful for I guess.
Goal for the week was 174.1 today and I'm at 173.2 (after an Up day).
Next Sunday's goal is 172.6. I'll see how next week goes and if it's too quick (ie. I'm appearing to lose muscle), I'm doing 3 UD's in a row over the weekend or the 2 regular UD's Friday and Sunday (good thing because I have a BBQ potluck to go to - a bounce might appear after that!) and a MD (1000 calories or so - just eat clean but add more fruit/veggies) on Saturday. Last TOM ended ~ 7/30 but it's not normal these days anyway so I never know what to expect...
Here are the weights for the week:
8.11 - 173.0
8.12 - 174.8
8.13 - 174.6
8.14 - 174.4
8.15 - 174.0
8.16 - 173.8
8.17 - 173.2
8.18 - 173.2 (32.9 / 41.1 / 31.8)
I have the flattest low-sloping graph ever. Looks like a bunny slope.

Oh my gosh, what an inspiring thread on maintaining
Hey sweet fellow maintainers......
Gives me hope that I can finally lick this monkey on my back.

Me on cardio
This pic is before I ever started lifting weights. As you can see by the natural size of my calves, I don't train them directly. Ever.
Senior LCF Member
Just starving today. And my lower back hurts. I think that's a good sign that my hormones are back in shape and TOM is around the corner. I think the last one ended ~ July 29th but it wasn't normal (lasted almost a month). That worries me that my prostaglandins are too high again (causing heavier uterine contractions, hence the aching back) so will start taking naproxen today. And magnesium. And iron.
Feel great otherwise!

Thinking about eating at goal weight + maintenance levels
Years ago I read a book by a mother-daughter pair who decided to just start eating the way they would have to eat to be at and maintain their goal weights. I always thought that was such a great idea, I just don't want to have to count calories every day.
I ran the numbers on the UDDD plan site and came out with the following (at a goal weight of 125, 65.5 inches, 48 y.o., 50% maintenance):
Moderate exercise: 1987 / 994 => 2000/1000
Light exercise: 1763 / 882 => 1800 / 900
When I go back to the gym in September, I could use the higher numbers for moderate exercise. My goal is 130 but that's considering a bit more muscle (maybe 5 pounds) - and it's sort of all rounding anyway since I figure I do enough bites, licks and tastes when cooking for the kids that I'm a bit off on my numbers anyway.
I have a difficult time getting all of my UD calories in of ~ 1900-2000 when I'm eating little to no junk food like I am now. I was starving yesterday at lunch and then after having a bunch of chicken wings (~8 so only 500-600 calories?), I ate almost nothing for the rest of the day - oh, except a bowl of french toast crunch cereal - talk about junk food, that stuff is nasty! No wonder the kids won't eat it. Just couldn't stomach the thought of eating anything - could be the low fat / high fat issue? Then I had a nap after the stock market closed for a couple of hours - then was up til 3 a.m. Ugh.
And even the 600 calories a down day that I'm eating now is turning me off of meat since meat, salad, veggies and yogurt is about all I can have on down days if I'm keeping my protein higher. I'm not going to go lower on the protein although I suspect that I could given that I'm eating carbs and plenty of fat every second day. I've seen what going the route of constant low fat/low carb/ low calorie + lower protein (~60 g/day) does and I'm not enough of a meat lover to compensate for it on my up days.
Basically, I'm trying to figure out a way to lose and then maintain without having to count calories or fast/starve too often. Maybe since I'm already at my Sunday's goal weight of 172.6 (like exactly bang on), I'll just diet on days this week that I weigh over 172.6. It's how I kept my weight stable years ago, so maybe it would work for losing too. Especially since I don't bounce up and down a lot and actually only bounced up after weekends years ago anyway.
It's my birthday next week and I think we're going camping so I won't be weighing and will have to just try to eat sensibly (ie. no junk food). I never gain any weight when camping anyway and usually lose. It's the constant hiking. And occasionally running out of food.

Day 39 - goal 173.4, actual 173.2
The plan:
It's an up day - but a moderate one. Spending the day out of town so will be going out for lunch with the little guy. We usually split meals when we go out and it's just the two of us. Unless we go with the oldest son too, in which case he always eats my remainders. My friends are almost all thin and they never finish their meals either so it doesn't look weird. We usually split a dessert among 3-4 of us if there's creme brulee available. I don't really like chocolate or ice cream so that limits things for me. They aren't as fussy - but they're thin and I'm not so...??
Am going to have a greek yogurt w/honey for BF since I'm not sure what time we'll be able to stop for lunch. I made donut muffins last night and had a taste out of the oven. They're pretty good. Guess we'll see what they taste like today too! Also bringing along a roast beef sandwich for us to split if it looks like we have to delay lunch. The kid has such an appetite lately and looks like he's grown about 2-3 inches this summer. Oh yay. Puberty and peri-menopause happening in the family at the same time. He's lucky my moods don't swing. Much.

Shocking! I think I got all my UD calories in for a change!
Here's what I ate:
- donut muffin - they're really small. But really dense. Very similar to these cupcakes we used to make when I was a kid.
- cream in coffee (4 c. Of coffee, not of cream.)
- 1/2 of medium fries at McD's
- McD's iced coffee (shocked that a small is only 100 calories!)
- pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 of a 9% greek yogurt mixed with 0% plain yogurt (to cut sweetness)
- 1/2 roast beef sandwich
- roasted seaweed
- Healthy choice dinner (Kung Pao Chicken) with added veggies and chicken
- 4 oz vodka w/2 diet cokes
The boys had tacos for supper but I decided to treat myself to what I really wanted (the Kung Pao Chicken). I feel kind of bad that I didn't get many good veggies in, but I do on other days that are (huge) salad based, so not too shabby. Went grocery shopping, but realized when I got home that the plums and nectarines I picked up weren't quite ripe yet - maybe this weekend?
I'm at 174.6 (1.4 up from this morning) tonight w / 32.8% Fat and 32.9% Muscle (muscle up significantly, not sure why except I lifted yesterday). I've decided to do DDAR (down day as required) and feel so much better about that. Tomorrow, the goal is 173.2 and if I'm over, I have a down day. If I'm not, I don't. If I'm close, I have a MD (moderate day of ~ 1000 cals / highish protein) and hope for the best the day after. Maybe pick up the pace on the exercise if there's too many as well.
Today, I only did 2 miles walking the dog since he started favoring his front leg after two turns around the lake / pond. So I did a 20 minute Wii zumba session when I came home.
I get the ease of a regular schedule of up days and down days, I really do. I just don't get the whole concept of something like 5:2 where "I am dieting because it's Monday or Thursday or EOD." I diet because my weight isn't where I want it to be - that's it. However, it wouldn't surprise me if I need to have 2-3 down days a week to hit my daily goal numbers. It just might be on a little different schedule. And that's ok.

Day 40 - goal 173.2, actual 172.4
Spent over 2 hours playing Just Dance last night after posting. I got in about 1/2 the dance time. I'm not sure how to account for how much I exercise and what the calculator means by "light, moderate or hard" exercise levels. I'm definitely not sedentary.
If I was dieting using my calorie counting app, I would be allowed to (and should to fuel the body for more exercise) eat the exercise calories which were probably around 500 or so yesterday. I wasn't going to have a midnight snack just because I'd exercised right then. Really need to start wearing the fitbit again. So I'm adding them to today and having an 1100 calorie down-moderate day since I'm less than a pound under my goal weight for the day. This is a good thing because I've noticed that occasionally my legs are feeling that muscle weakness you get when you start low-carbing.
When I've done calorie counting using my app in the past few years, I don't think I've ever hit 2000 in a day, with or without exercise. Just don't think my appetite can go that high without potato chips involved (they shut off the fullness switch in my head). Which is strange because I used to be able to go high on WW. Ah well, one of the nice things about getting older maybe - that you calm down around food.
Average weight loss for the last 7 days was 0.23 pounds per day. From when I started, it's 0.28 pounds per day and 11.0 in total. BF% at 32.6% so 7.99 pounds of fat lost and 3.01 pounds of muscle lost.
I was reading Michael Matthews article on IF on Muscle for Life: "... found that amino acids from muscle were responsible for about 50% of glucose maintenance at the 16-hour mark of fasting, and 100% at the 28-hour mark.
The bottom line is the body wants to spare muscle whenever possible, and in most cases, no serious muscle loss can occur until youve fasted for 12-16+ hours."
Well, it's been about 14 for me (and worse, I exercised last night) - time to go get some breakfast! Should have had some greek yogurt before I went to bed...

The cold, white hands
Explanation here (from Lean Gains / ESE) for the return of the Raynaud:
Fasting and cold fingers
"Q: Sometimes when I fast my finger tips get cold, why is that?
Fasting increases the blood flow to your body fat (the process is called adipose tissue blood flow). So when you are fasting more blood is travelling to your body fat, presumably to help move it to your muscles where it can be burned as a fuel. Due to this increased travel to your body fat, micro-vasodilation occurs in your fingertips and sometimes toes to compensate. So in some cases its a necessary evil in the fat loss process."

Lyle McDonald on the "whoosh"
From his post "On Whooshes and Squishy Fat":
"Back during my college days, one of my professors threw out the idea that after fat cells had been emptied of stored triglyceride, they would temporarily refill with water (glycerol attracts water, which might be part of the mechanism). So there would be no immediate change in size, body weight or appearance. Then, after some time frame, the water would get dropped, the fat cells would shrink. A weird way of looking at it might be that the fat loss suddenly becomes apparent. That is, the fat was emptied and burned off days or weeks ago but until the water is dropped, nothing appears to have happened."
"Somewhat circumstantially, people using Bioimpedance body fat scales (which use hydration to estimate body fat levels) have noted that body fat appears to go up right before a big drop. This implicates water balance as the issue here."

Day 40 Night weight - 172.6
Body fat: 32.3, Muscle: 33.1%
Curious as to what the numbers will look like tomorrow.
A friend told me today that my numeracy might be an issue... ;-)
LOL - you can take the woman out of finance but... I'm such a geek.
Boy, I hope I don't gain weight overnight since tomorrow is supposed to be an UD.
Good moderate (although slightly indulgent) diet day today. Greek yogurt w/ half scoop roadside lemonade syntrax pp in the morning, shrimp alfredo at lunch (extra veggies, extra shrimp), roast chicken for supper. 2 bags 100 cal baked cheetos. 2 vodka and perrier after supper. Somewhere around 1100 calories and 80 g protein anyway. Not the best choices though when I look at it. Maybe I just shouldn't look at it.
The only exercise I did today was on my mastercard. Shopping. Bought a few sweaters (medium) at a summer sale. No idea why sweaters are on sale at a summer sale but... about 85% off down to $14 each? I'll take it! Pup and I played fetch this aft so he was good. His leg looks fine now but I'm keeping him away from the dog park for a couple of days just in case.

Day 41 - goal 173.0, actual 172.0 - UD it is!
It was going to be an up day anyway, now it's a guilt-free one. Good thing having the moderate day in there has up-regulated my appetite.
32.4% BF & 32.9% Muscle
about that muscle %. Seems high to me.
Tom Venuto says that with good adherence to a diet/exercise program, losing .5% of bodyfat per week is pretty good. He's seen it higher, but it requires a lot of cardio to do it. I'm at .44% over almost 6 weeks.
I've decided that since for September I will be following more of a normal exercise routine again of M-W-F class (zumba, spinning) usually followed by 1/2-3/4 hour in the weight room, I'm going to have a set schedule of up days and down days as well. That's M-W-F up days for sure. That works well because I can go out for lunch every day after working out.
At a set amount of 35% WLM, moderate exercise (I think that ~5 hours of working out a week plus 1 hour a day of walking the dog is moderate?) and at 170#, the calculator gives a down day number of 800 which is more than fine for Tu-Th (I can add in a piece of fruit again! And maybe bacon bits on my salad!) and I'll play Saturday/Sunday by ear depending on if I'm going out or not and where my weight is at. No need to apply a 450 calorie sledge hammer if an 800 one will do the job.
My only concern is that it's fairly unlikely that I'd be hitting a 2300 calorie up day without counting and forcing it. But maybe that just means I have less weekend restrictions? Or I'll get into the flow of things and not have as much appetite suppression like I do now over time.
I was reading some posts on here of people that also work out regularly and did JUDDD but stopped. The common complaint seemed to be not enough food to fuel their exercise. I'm not sure though if they were trying to stick to 20% mode or not and not adjusting their exercise %ages or if it's just an unsustainable level of calories on low days even at 35% mode. It's a horrible thing to spend 10-15 hours a month trying to build one measly pound of muscle only to lose it from under-eating. Even in the 1957 Spanish study, they ate at 50% on down days - but they were also in an old folks home so I'm guessing they weren't working out...
Berkhan at LeanGains recommends an IF window of only 14-16 hours for women. Basically that's just a late breakfast if you're not a night eater (which I'm generally not.) Dinner ending at 7 p.m. and breakfast at 9-11 a.m. That's not really fasting much. Berardi had pretty fantastic results with his IF experimentation over at Precision Nutrition. He did a full day a week for the first month or two but said that 2 full day fasts a week made him lose quite a bit of muscle. My mileage would vary of course, since he doesn't exactly have 32.4% bodyfat to draw on like I do. He went from 10% down to 4% BF with his 6 month experiment. Anyway, it could work for me in making Saturday a full 24 hour fast day from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Day 41 evg - Ugh. Feeling too full is painful and not fun.
Appetite went away again after lunch but I sort of forced myself to make burgers for supper (had to anyway for the boys). I ate one, picked off some of the bread like I always do. Finally, gave up on it at about 2 bites left. Gave the rest to the dog and I ate the veggie part. He didn't even chew, just swallowed it whole.
I tracked today and was up to just over 1700 calories. I don't understand why I can't eat more? If I'm on a regular calorie counting plan, I have no problem eating 1500 - 1700 a day and feeling just right. And then eating exercise calories on top of that some days.
There's going to be a big bounce tomorrow. At 175.8 tonight - up from 172.0 this morning.

Patient Comments: Peyronie's Disease - Seeking Treatment
What treatment, if any, have you received for your Peyronie's disease?
Comment from: DM, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: January 27
I had surgery for Peyronie's disease and was somewhat successful. I started having symptoms in my early 50s. It progressed until it was difficult to have intercourse, I was losing length, 1.5" and girth, 1" and about an 80 degree upward curve; after surgery I had about a 10 degree curve and did not gain in length and girth but intercourse was possible.

2013 record year for oil production in Colorado
Last Updated: 17:18 April 10, 2014
The record-breaking 2013 oil production marked a 30-percent increase from the 49.3 million barrels oil in 2012. In 1956, the state saw more than 60 million barrels of oil produced.
Colorado achieved record-setting oil production before the end of 2013, but a spokesman for the state Division of Natural Resources, which oversees the state oil commission, said the numbers only recently were finalized.
In 2013, Weld County produced nearly 51.9 million barrels of oil, accounting for 80 percent of the state's oil production. Weld's 2013 oil production surged 42 percent from the 36.6 million barrels of oil produced in the county the prior year.
October 2013 was the best oil-producing month for Weld, when 5.4 million barrels of oil were produced.
Higher, more stable oil prices in 2013, combined with drilling techniques hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, led to the record-setting production, said Stan Dempsey, president of the Colorado Petroleum Association.
As long as oil prices remain around $100 per barrel, oil companies will continue to invest in Colorado, he said.
The West Slope's Rio Blanco County, which has the second highest oil production in Colorado, produced 4.6 million barrels of oil in 2013, down from 4.8 million barrels in 2012.
Meanwhile, statewide natural gas production fell to 1.6 trillion cubic feet in 2013 from 1.7 trillion cubic feet the prior year.
Colorado producers generally made larger investments in oil production because of lower natural gas prices, Dempsey said.
Garfield County produced 649.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas, the most in the state in 2013. Behind La Plata County with 356.5 billion cubic feet, Weld County ranked No. 3 with 302.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas last year. In 2012, 271.8 million cubic feet of gas was produced in Weld.

- Lots of little cool s/w features

Summary: I got this a few days ago, when my upgrade time came, to replace a Moto Droid 2 running Gingerbread. I had to decide whether to get the S3 now (based on all the rave reviews) or wait for the iPhone 5. Let's just say I am not at all disappointed.Update: the camera is good, not great. Autofocus occasionally goofs, but you can fix that by touching the screen where you want it to focus. Color balance good. Sharpness OK.
This is the first Android device I have seen that truly equals the iPhone for smooth, responsive user experience. Most other Android devices just aren't powerful enough to keep up with the software.
Samsung sure got the UI right, including the TouchWiz overlay to Android 4, which may not satisfy Android purists but works nicely for me. Unfortunately, the display on which the UI takes place is too dim. Whoever designed this must be a cave dweller, especially since the auto-brightness feature makes it worse. However, the screen is glare-free, so it is readable in outdoor sunlight and therefore this issue shouldn't be a deterrent to purchasing this otherwise outstanding device.
Here are some observations that go beyond what most of the reviews have mentioned. Photo face recognition is a great idea but the software only gets it right about half the time. I didn't have much problem getting S Voice (Samsung's Siri competitor) to recognize my words if I speak clearly, but it doesn't do a great job of actually answering the question or obeying the commands.
The auto-brightness feature confirms my suspicion that the designer was a troglodyte. If the display brightness can't be improved, then a software update should fix this so that it only dims the screen in the *dark*. I had to disable it, which means that the screen is actually too bright at night.
I use the stock email app as a client for my company's POP server. The look and feel is nice, but unlike the rest of Android, this app suffers from lack of customizable features (e.g. no way to just download messages and turn server syncing off, no way to purge messages that are N days old). If you don't need this app then this is not a problem.
Otherwise these are all features that Samsung ought to be able to fix in a software update.
The audio is excellent in both sound quality and maximum volume. I pump it through my car stereo and it's a big improvement over the Droid 2 and (once again) at least the equal of the iPhone.
I may post an update once I've given the camera a proper workout, but for now suffice it to say that the shutter lag is almost zero.
Updated on Aug 2, 2012
Smart Stay is another great idea that doesn't work all the time; it is limited by ambient light and viewing angle.
But overall I LOVE this phone. The super-smooth response and actual personality combine with Android flexibility to make it a real iPhone alternative for those who don't like donning the iStraightjacket.

Summary: I got this phone at an AT&T store and was suprised at how thin, light, yet solid the build is. I read just about most of the pre-availability hype surrounding it the month beforehand, particularly the criticisms -- the plastic back, its "size", the pentile display, and the lack of a quad-core processor in the US. Well, let me just tell you that while these facts don't lie, it's how the critics spin them into negative setbacks that don't do the phone any justice. I'm not in love with Samsung, and had considered an HTC One X in the store, but was very glad to have walked out with this Sammy. Pick one up for yourself and I think you will be impressed too. The negative reviews about its size is blown out of proportion -- I have small hands and it fits me just fine. When I place it in my pockets, I don't even notice it. I recommend protecting the back with an iSkin Aura protector (the "i" name s**** I know). The Aura looks beautiful and it's super thin.
Bye bye iPhone 4 - no more iTunes, no more iOS, and good riddance!

The Indiana Pacers enter the NBA playoffs as one of the more underappreciated contenders. Given that their first-round series against the Orlando Magic should be free of drama (and that two of the first four games will be stuck on NBA TV), that should continue.
The Log5 projection system gives Indiana a strong advantage against Orlando ... without accounting for the fact that Dwight Howard played most of the season for the Magic but will be out for the postseason. That reality figures to amplify the effect and allow the Pacers to coast.
Here's the map of the probabilities of the various series outcomes:
Again, Log5 uses regular season Pythagorean win percentage, and Dwight Howard was a huge boost to Orlando's in-season performance. The numbers are robust enough to get a reliable answer, but suffice it to say that the Magic's performances sans Dwight was bad enough that an Indiana sweep wouldn't be unexpected.
Based on the full regular season numbers, though, this series looks a lot like Heat-Knicks: the Magic would be expected to peel off at least one at home, and the 2-0 lead for the Pacers isn't a given. We'll see if the Magic can rally without their All-NBA center and live up to the projection.

Teachers' Overseas Recruiting Fair
27th Annual TORF - January 23-25, 2015
The Faculty of Education sponsors the Teachers' Overseas Recruiting Fair, the original and largest recruiting fair in Canada, established in 1989. We have assisted thousands of teachers to find positions in international schools for over three decades.
TORF is an on-site event that provides opportunities for teachers to have face-to-face interviews with administrators of international schools. It is a weekend-long event, requiring candidates to be on-site from late Friday afternoon until Sunday. A recruiting fair is not an information-gathering fair, but an opportunity to sign contracts after being interviewed.
TORF is the recruiting fair of choice for many international schools. We are renowned for having impressive placement statistics and as being a perfect, comfortably-sized fair.
We will compile a list of participating schools beginning in September 2014.
Personal Touch
TORF is organized by educators for educators. The planning committee consists of faculty, staff, education students, and alumni, who are all committed to international education. We strive to maintain a civilized, cooperative atmosphere. Candidates and schools appreciate the attention to detail and benefit from our many years of experience. We think of everything in order to facilitate a weekend dedicated to important decisions!
As a not-for-profit organization, our mission is educational and professional, aimed at providing a valuable professional development component throughout the weekend.
Candidate registration for the 2015 Teachers' Overseas Recruiting Fair will open in September 2014.

James Harden launches with the Houston Rockets for the 2013-2014 Season! Please subscribe, rate, and comment. Thanks! Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MichaelKole
Sure, pitching and shooting isn't the same thing... but.... lol
He can play basketball AND sing. Quadruple THREAT! i can't count.
Anytime you have Harden and Hamas in the same conversation, I am THERE. This video is ridiculously awesome. It just is.
Short mix I made about Howard joining the Rockets. I'm a Warriors fan, but I'd love to hear what Rockets fans think about the vid! Any feedback is appreciated. If you like it please share. Thanks. PS West conference is gonna be crazy next year! I feel a Rockets-Warriors rivalry brewin!
These guys make Lebron and Dwight Howard postups look good.
Just Watch it. It's hilarious.
2-3 zone. Syracuse style. That's what made the comeback. I love Beverly but if you really think a point guard is more important than the bigs playing well, you are nuts. The fact that OKC have no good passing big man makes Syracuse style defense pretty good. However, Sam Presti may be too smart to allow it to be effective. I should have thought about 2-3 zone, dammit.
great stuff. fun to get inside Daryl's mind.
Grandland interview with Daryl Morey - very good watch - highly recommended to all rockets fans to give some great insight into how the front office operates and how trades are made.

Have you ever received a document on your BlackBerry that required you to sign it. I for sure find it a real pain in the butt having to print paper, sign it and then either post or scan and email back. Luckily I don't have to do that anymore thanks to SignEasy for BlackBerry 10.
The app is an Android port so things aren't not quite as smooth as with a Built for Blackberry app but do not fear as this one works just fine. So upon opening the app you have the option to enter your signature and initials which are then saved and can be inserted into any document. You can alter at any time so if you suddenly want to change your name for example you can - maybe one for secret agents!
When you receive a document that requires your signature you just insert it wherever you need to. You can make your autograph larger or smaller to suit the document and essentially thats it. If you watched the above video you will see that I learnt something new about the app once I had finished recording the initial part. As soon as I switched of the camera I got an email from SignEasy containing my signed document. From here I then had the option to share it via the BlackBerry Hub. As this was just a test I just stuck it into my Remember app which would be a great place to store things if you don't use cloud storage. This final feature impressed me greatly. SignEasy is an awesome application.
There is a free version for you to test it out and after that the app will set you back $19.99/14.00 so it isn't cheap but think of all the time and hassle you can save. And trees! Grab the free version below and let us know what you think in the comments.
sk8er_tor Mar 5, 2013 at 11:34 am
Great idea. I use something similar on my PC but at that price, it's one of those apps that I will buy only when I have to.
Agreed. Sounds like good functionality but the price is a little steep for me.. but more importantly, it's a good sign to see true productivity apps like this that will appeal to business people who need to get things done.. and $20 aint really that big a deal to corporate types who make $50-100/+/hr and therefore saving 30 minutes with an app like this would be much more valuable to them
Sunil Patro Mar 5, 2013 at 3:20 pm
Hi @NinjaB,
Thanks for your comment. For a busy professional whose time is money, SignEasy allows them to be more productive and helps increase the efficiency of their business.
Do let us know your feedback after trying out the App.
Dave79 Mar 5, 2013 at 11:46 am
Another Android port...great.
Darlaten Mar 5, 2013 at 1:05 pm
19.99 for an android port that, based on other reviews, is questionable in terms of privacy?!?! Like that's gonna happen.
boldkeyboardholic Mar 5, 2013 at 3:11 pm
aren't there any legal issues with copying elektr. copies of your signature on a pdf file?
Where I came from, it wouldn't.
btw - almost any android app is questionalbe in terms of privacy...
bought a nexus 4 but feeled 90% of apps in the appstores claiming very extensive rights - 90& of these with no visible reasons to me.
Maybe I really switch back - still have my 9900 but right now not as main device.
Sunil Patro Mar 5, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Hi @boldkeyboardholic,
In many countries around the world including US and EU, eSignature is an accepted practice by all sizes of businesses. If you can tell us which country you are in, we can help you with more information.
We take the privacy and security of our user's data and documents very seriously.
- Your signature is not stored on our servers, it is only used for generating the final signed document.
- Our servers are hosted on secure AWS with the transmission being encrypted by 256 bit SSL technology.
- Our electronic signature process includes user authentication, digital audit logs and verification of file integrity for any document, meeting the standards of eSignature practices in most countries around the world.
At SignEasy, we strive to be the simplest and most convenient way for businesses and professionals to sign documents legally from wherever they are: home, office, beach or on the go. With this vision, SignEasy also allows mobile professionals to collect signatures from clients while closing deals on the spot.
We request you to try the App and let us know your feedback which will be extremely valuable for rolling out a native App later this year.

I used a similar service for a recent transaction that required many documents and this was definitely much more efficient. It is much better than faxing emailing and printing or having to meet in person. I think the cost is worth it for the cost savings and efficiency that it brings.
With that said, I hope that monthly cost or each transaction is not so expensive. I personally don't mind paying for the service but would hope that the app was not an additional cost since many other services can simply use the BB browser. (I've used them on the PlayBook so I'm sure the Z10 could handle it even better).
Trini-34 Mar 5, 2013 at 11:53 am
These are the apps that I like too see on BB10. Keep'em coming! Thank you for sharing!!

A really useful app. James gives the best reviews with humor and info wrap in one package
Living Bold-ly!
Really? I mean, yeah, the app looks like it could be useful. Would be nice if it was native etc. etc. but, the review?
Sorry James, not feeling it. Getting the impression you're trying to bash out reviews with little to no prep.
Not meaning to sound overly negative.
Long live CB!
I have to agree 100% with TimJW.
James no offense but try it out a few times before you make a video for all of us to see. It would (your video) look smoother and more professional and make the Z10 look better at the same time.
CB is still my favorite BlackBerry site.
Take care
Agree - would be nice to see reviews of apps that you've actually used.
This review looks more something like: just downloaded this app lets see what it does.
Iamanonymous62 Mar 5, 2013 at 9:09 pm
Oh, Oh, they're on to you James! The jig is up! LOL
jstirtzinger Mar 6, 2013 at 12:24 am
I agree as well...like James as a person, but lately the reviews are mostly him trying something for the first time and with things not actually working.
Hmm.. What's the company's privacy policy and data retention policy? You're basically sending the company a copy of some confidential personal or legal document so that they can convert it to PDF and put in links so that when they email it back to you, your device attaches a locally-stored digital copy of your signature on it..
Although your actually signature may stay "secure" on your device, that's actually not the big security risk: whatever document you need to "sign" is being sent to a 3rd party, and you could be exposing a lot of sensitive or private information that's on the document..
If someone would create an on-device app with some very basic "Acrobat" functionality (and such an app may already exist, I haven't looked), you could easily digitize your own signature and insert it into any PDF without paying $20 and potentially compromising the confidentiality of the document. I do this all the time on my laptop: I have a digitized copy of my signature that I can simply cut and paste into Word documents, or insert into PDFs, etc.. All without having to send the document to some 3rd party..
7Buck0 Mar 5, 2013 at 12:57 pm
Great comment f_d, I would have the same concerns.
Looking that the bigger picture, this a really good discussion - "Productivity Apps". Nothing against the plethora of games, and what have you, but there really is a need for apps that increase productivity (like this concept). Another would be pdf annotators.
Its not the Z10, but I've been looking apps to make work easier on the PlayBook for a while now. There are a couple of Android ports that work OK, but without wi-fi at work (therefore making it more difficult to xfer docs back and forth), and working for a company that is concerned about security, there really isn't that much (that I've found) to make using PlayBook an essential tool. I know there is Bridge, but I haven't really found that to be the be all and end all...
I'm hoping this will change with BB10. Actual work-related, productivity-increasing apps would be a good forum topic. If this already exists, great - I've searched, but not exhaustively. if someone can point me to it, that'd be appreciated. If it doesn't yet exist, perhaps I'll jump over there and create one :)

This is Sunil Patro, founder at SignEasy. We take the privacy and security of our user's data and documents very seriously.

With this vision, SignEasy also allows mobile professionals to collect signatures from clients while closing deals on the spot.
For more information, please visit getsigneasy.com/blackberry.
Thanks for the response- I understand that the signature is not stored on your servers, and as I said, that's not the security issue.. The issue is with the transmittal of the document itself, which even though unsigned, is still some form of legal document requiring protection: eg what if it were the legal agreement between two parties of a lawsuit outlining the confidential settlement terms? It doesn't matter whether the document is signed, the contents of the document are the sensitive matter, and this could be argued for just about every document that requires a signature..
Transmission security is likewise not the issue- everyone has transmission security these days, but what about the data storage on the servers? Evernote just got hacked- they encrypted their user's data, so nobody lost anything; but they are still recommending that everyone change their password just in case.. You state in your privacy statement that your technicians do have access to private documents that could be reviewed for a number of specific reasons, which leads me to believe that people's sensitive files are in fact stored in the clear on your servers, or perhaps protected, but with a scheme that is not robust (because there must be some sort of key escrow in order to accommodate your "review" capability), so it's just a matter of time before someone hacks your servers and gets ahold of the motherlode of confidential agreements, and the fact that they are all unsigned will not matter at all.. Think Wikileaks 2.0.. Julian Assange would be proud..
A service of this type that I *would* use would work something like:
1) digitized signature stored on local device
2) attachment of digitized signature to a document is done on local device *without* having to send to servers
3) the value-add from the solution provider would be to add authentication and non-repudiation to the solution: upon subscription to the service, the person gets a PKI certificate and when signing, they'd have to authenticate to the solution provider's servers and the app would send a cryptographic hash of the signed document to the server which would be signed with the user's private key, which is backed up by the root of trust of the solution provider, and the app could embed a QR code or other verification code that the recipient of the document could use to check that the sender really did insert his signature on the document: ie, use a "digital signature" to back up a "digitized signature".. In this way, you maintain confidentiality of the documents because you're not sending them to a 3rd party, and you can provide authentication and non-repudiation of the signature on the document. In terms of a business model, it makes more sense too: you simply need a certificate authority instead of having to maintain a storage cluster, so lower operating costs, higher security..
I appreciate you responding personally, but quite frankly, you haven't convinced me that your current model is secure enough for business users: again, think contracts and legal agreements, the terms of which are usually extremely confidential.. Think of BlackBerry's own BES model: they have made it so that data is sent securely from end to end, and even when it goes through the servers in Waterloo, BlackBerry does not have the keys and cannot see your corporate data even though it passes through their servers.. This is the reason BlackBerry has been adopted and continues to be adopted by enterprise.. SignEasy simply does not fit this model as you get unencrypted copies of people's sensitive documents..
hemertwv Mar 5, 2013 at 5:53 pm
I agree completely, many of the companies I work for would not allow the documents to reside upon an outside vendors server, encrypted or not, and in addition the document cannot be stored outside the country.
A PKI solution where the document can benefit from non-repudiation and validation of the signatures authenticity would be the only service I could use.
I do appreciate the product and the steps as a vendor you are taking but if you expanded your service to offer an expanded scope as described you could actually start capturing some government work, right now we could never use the service for many reasons already identified.
AfroLoGeek Mar 6, 2013 at 3:08 am
Hi there,
On Android devices Adobe already released the possibility to sign directly on the pdf document.
The process is similar to the one describe here, but yes retention and privacy policy remain in the case you use that pdf signature process for sales orders for example. (you keep someone else signature's image on your device).
But even, why Adobe is not releasing that version of acrobat on BlackBerry devices?
BoldWorld Mar 5, 2013 at 12:36 pm
Can the Z10 print to pdf?
Rootbrian Mar 5, 2013 at 4:28 pm
If you mean export to PDF? I don't know. There's probably an app that could do it. Or just use libreoffice/openoffice on your desktop/laptop/netbook to do it in two clicks.
123berryaddicted Mar 5, 2013 at 1:31 pm
I use qPdf, has a tone of useful features, as well as digital signature. It's available on the playbook right now, and I asked the dev about Z10, he said they have already submitted to app world, so we should be seeing it drop on the Z10 shortly. I believe I only paid 2.99 for it.
AfroLoGeek Mar 6, 2013 at 3:28 am
I have a playbook too. My question is in case BlackBerry updates the current OS to BB10 OS, i guessed the software someone paid (4.99€ for qPDF Notes for the playbook) will be available and/or compatible for BB10 without paying again?
By the way,on Android devices, Adobe already released for free the possibility to sign and share on pdf documents
jdelvalle56 Mar 5, 2013 at 3:45 pm
However - I will wait until native app is created for BlackBerry.
npunk42 Mar 5, 2013 at 3:55 pm
This is exactly what I need. Not sure if this is the right app, it looked a bit clunky. Thanks for the qpdf referral for the playbook. I just downloaded it for 4.99 usd.

Dear @crackberry readers / BlackBerry customers,
I am the founder at SignEasy. We are very excited to offer BlackBerry users a must-have tool to keep them productive and do business on-the-go. It is currently a port of our Android App, the reason being we wanted to make sure that current Z10 owners can benefit immediately from the current version of our successful eSignature App, which has been rated as Top 10 Essential business App on AppStore.
Please try out the App and let us know your feedback at email@example.com, which
will be valuable when we roll out a native App later this year.

Dear Mr. Patro,
Welcome to CrackBerry and thank you very much for making yourself available on the forum boards. I personally find it very satisfying that a company owner makes him (or her) self available for feedback from their potential customers. Again I applaud you.
Now with that said, I can definitely see this app as a benefit to my catering business by getting contracts created and signed within a few moments while meeting with a client. You stated that multiple signatures could be added to a document. If that is true, then I will most definitely be purchasing your app in the future. Unfortunately, I'm not big on ported apps of any kind. So I will be on the lookout for your native app to be released.
As for now, keep up the good work and thank you for being available in the forums.

cwilsn5193 Mar 5, 2013 at 10:56 pm
This app wont do much for many business as the ones that do e signatures use a more common service like echosign. If I sent any one of my clients something to sign in this app, they wouldn't do it simply because they sign hundreds of contracts a day in Echo Sign and you become the fool when you don't send it to them in a format that's easy for them and will cause a delay in my contract being signed Not to mention you get free e signs with a free echosign app limited to 5 a month and this dude wants us to pay $20 bucks for the app and then only allows 3 free signatures a month.
jefftam68 Mar 6, 2013 at 9:04 am
I would just love to have the ability to put a jpg image onto a 'Docs to Go' document (like my signature) convert it to pdf and email it. Today, this would seem to be easy technology and essential for any business user. My professional grade tablet (aka the Playbook) has yet to be able to do this. Endlessly frustrating. So I see this easysign app on CrackBerry and I have hope. But then I read further, and you have send it off to a third party somewhere? WTF?? The price of the app is not an issue for me. $20 is pretty steep but I would pay $50 to just be able to put a jpg into a lousy document and convert it to a lousy pdf. What is so difficult about that?? Sorry EasySign, I'm not signing up for your service.
That app from the video looked like it sucked bad. It was lagging so bad. The signature and initials didn't even go in the right place
Sunil Patro Mar 8, 2013 at 1:59 am
Hi @grandz,
We are sorry that the video from @CB team did not convey the simplicity and the full functionality of the App. We will be releasing a video tutorial next week which I am sure you would be happy with.
I request you to download/try the App and then let us know your own feedback.

I tested it and is a great step in the right direction. $20 is a good price, especially when you consider that you don't need to purchase a signature pad to connect to a laptop.
The only other thing I would LOVE/NEED to have is the ability to re-name the document immediately. Often documents are saved with default names and I wold like to be able to reduce the number of steps required so that I don't have to go into file manager and change the name there afterward.

Thanks @berrybait.
We will be rolling out some enhancements as you suggested soon. Please keep an eye on our update.

Hi BlackBerry fans,
We noticed that some of you are having difficulty in figuring out how to import a document into SignEasy. Here is a step-by-step tutorial : http://blog.getsigneasy.com/post/44846012236/import-document-into-signea...
We plan to bring many powerful features to a SignEasy native app later this year. With your support and feedback, we hope to make SignEasy, a must-have productivity app for business users of BB10.

I agree with some of the other posters above.. Please learn the app before posting videos like this, it happens all the time and is frustrating. So many people think they are reviewers, but your actually making the product look worse. Most of us including myself go to the video to see a working app, not someone fumbling around making it look hard to use. Kind of wasted my time since I was looking for a quick run through. Really only would had taken you about 3 minutes to try it once or twice. Probably less time to learn the app then to set up your video camera looking for attention.
As for the app:
I tried everything i could to find or transport the document into the app without any luck. Finally emailed it to firstname.lastname@example.com and it was added inside the app before I could open the app back up again. Was impressed by that. The importing feature looks at folders I didn't even know existed on my phone. Its clumsy right now, but maybe with an update it'll be a better experience looking through folders for the right document.
Thank you to getsigneasy for making this available to blackberry. We are the business users of phones and this app once working properly, is one that I would pay for but not yet :)

I had the same problem with transporting my doc into the app. I couldn't make sense of the folders it was presenting me. I poked around via my file manager app and voila...this app (I think) created a set of folders on my device - not my card - under an Android folder name (something like [device]\misc\android\downloads\...). All the instructions say drop the doc to the documents folder on your card, but that probably is the case on the Android version. This ported version has not adjusted the default folder to suite the z10 and their instructions. Bad.

I think the QR code feature can be added. Very nice suggestion,

Hot, dry California weather through the weekend is expected to add fuel to the massive wildfire scorching Yosemite National Park, possibly undoing some of the gains fire crews have made in the past week, authorities said Friday.
The so-called Rim Fire has grown by 10,000 acres since Thursday, to almost a quarter-million acres, the joint federal-state-local incident team said Friday afternoon. It could grow even more as the weather increases the chance of embers' shooting across containment lines into dry timber.
The fire, which was started Aug. 17 when a hunter's illegal campfire burned out of control, is now the third-largest blaze in state history, authorities said. Plumes of smoke triggered air-quality warnings a hundred miles away and chased off would-be day campers in Yosemite.
"It was one of the largest fires, and the behavior was a real challenge," Andy Kellogg, chief of the Tracy Fire Division, told NBC station KCRA of Sacramento.
"The fire behavior was different than what we were used to seeing," said Kellogg, who served nearly two weeks on a strike team battling the fire.
Tracy firefighter Ray Gonzales said the fire "was overwhelming at times."
"But to see how many people it affected on a large scale is very heartfelt," he said.

Right around 6 p.m., Sunday, a fire broke out at the Dresden Generating Station, in a maintenance building.
"It had no contact with any of the generation side of the house," Jim Lutz, Director of Grundy County Emergency Management said.
"Initially, it was thought that solvent was the part that caught fire," Lutz said.
"That's what the fire investigators indicated."
Lutz said the solvent is like a degreaser.
Dresden is located at the head of the Illinois River. It is located in
Lutz said that because it was a nuclear power station, there was more emergency response than would normally take place. But when it was realized that this was a small fire, most emergency personnel were released within ten minutes of arrival.
The building that had the fire is inside the fence line, but it is detached from the power side of the building, Lutz said.

On this July fourth, one Rock Hill woman is still getting over a frightening incident.
"It really was like a nightmare. It was horrific," said Joni Brocklebank.
A routine morning jog was turned upside-down Monday morning for Joni Brocklebank when she was attacked by a rabid fox on Silver Lane.
The fox bit her on the collarbone.
She managed to get away from the wild animal at first, but, it lunged at her again, this time getting a hold of her shirt.
She ran to a neighbor's house and asked him for help, all while holding the fox by its neck.
We stopped by Brocklebank's house Thursday. She was out of town but we spoke with her by phone.
"I knew in my mind if I let go of this fox, it was going to continue to bite me. It just kept coming at me," said Brocklebank.
The neighbor grabbed the fox and put him in a cage. You can see it still has her shirt and headphones.
"I call him a Good Samaritan because he chose to get involved," said Brocklebank.
Now residents like Grace Flenniken are on edge. She has young grandchildren who play in the neighborhood.
"My fear is how are we going to protect our children out here now," asked Flenniken.
"That's going to be scary to me now, knowing that a fox could come out," said neighbor Martha Muse.
A lesson learned for Brocklebank, who will now switch up her jogging routine.
"I'm not sure I'm going to jog alone for a while, but I will definitely have something with me," said Brocklebank.
Health experts say rabid animals are very aggressive and will run towards human instead of away like normal wildlife.
If you are bit by a rabid animal you should seek medical attention immediately.
