1 - Most weight-loss information online, (calculators, BMR information, calorie deficit information) is geared towards either weightlifters, or people with less than 30lbs to lose. Quite a lot that is geared towards anyone with 100+ lbs to lose, assumes we are all going to run out and get gastric bypass surgery.

2 - No matter how loudly someone talks about how they want to lose weight, if they don't take the first steps, they won't ever lose the weight.

3 - Every time I am *really* chuffed about how much I've walked, and I'm looking forward to walking that night, THAT will be the night the weatherman is wrong and it is going to pour down and knock the power out for hours. (like tonight, power is just up after a 2 hour downtime, and thunderstorms the whole while.)
