I haven't looked into a Garmin. This is my third Fitbit, and I have never had a significant problem till now. I'm not counting my FB that conked out after 3+ years. I've ordered a cheapy, $37, with discount coupon. It should be compatible with my Samsung phone, and work till I figure something out.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Thank you for the step recognition. I will be exercising in minutes till my cheapy interim watch gets here. By the way, have you ever tried vanilla powder? I haven't, but I was thinking about ordering some till I saw the price, lol.
@lelbarou
You are absolutely right about getting used to something, and expecting it to work. And, yes, it was frustrating to get conflicting information from two techs. I have ordered a cheapy replacement for the time being.
@Bluetail6 if you give me what kind of exercise and how many minutes I can convert them to steps with a converter chart .....I bought 2 big canisters of protein powder from Amazon ... Level's grass fed protein powder .. one is Chocolate mocha and the other is vanilla bean1 -

Thank you. This really helped me feel better. I'm trying to get back on the horse this weekend through Thanksgiving morning at least.
Hustle, I'm so happy this quote was helpful! Wishing you great success!

Hi all! Things have been really crazy the last few days and it was at its peak today. I am trying to deal with the stress by not self medicating with food. It has been a bust the last few days. Sorry I haven’t been active today but I will try and pop on tomorrow morning and read everyone’s post. Keep on fighting my beautiful teammates! ❤️❤️❤️4

Thursday, Nov. 19 steps = 5, 543
Friday, Nov. 20 steps = 9,254
I walked a lot today because my son had his wisdom teeth out and I waited on him. Got him gauze, made him soup, took his medicine to him, made sure he drank some liquids . . .
My hips aren't perfect, but they're better.
A friend told me to get a standing desk. I'm going to do that because I never used to sit this much, but now since I am working from home I'm always sitting.
I don't know if I submitted my steps on Wednesday . . .

OH BOY What a day. Work today was just bouncing. Honestly, it barely stopped. We get a big weekly delivery once a week and a food delivery once every 2 days. For the first time ever, they both decided to deliver to us before we closed -_-. which meant our back room was just crazy stuffed with things. Very frustrating because I barely get myself through to the fire door to get the garbage out. Thank goodness for being 20+ lb down because i slid through there eventually, but what an evening! I'm grateful I only close once a week. AND I'm off tomorrow
On the plus side- I got hella steps in today, woohoo!
Honestly though, with the stress of today, I wanted to eat like crazy tonight! What my wife and I used to do was to grab A+W or Wendys on the way home and I would eat probably about 1500 calories at least. But, I stuck with it, white-knuckled it, because I really didn't want to do undo all of my hard work from the last month or so. But if there was ever a time I was as close as anything to a relapse, tonight was it.
Also- I have decided, now that I have all the wires and stuff for my wii fit/ games, I am going to switch from just walks to general exercising. The condition I am putting on myself is a minimum 30 minute work out- on whatever I am doing, and up it to 4 times a week, after this weekend. With the weather turning very soon, I want to put that plan into action asap

Hope you are doing well!
First of all, I would like to thank @lindamtuck2018 @mari_moulin and @azkunk for the kind words and motivation from last week. It really meant something to me, thank you!
I was a really bad week, went overboard and felt awful because of that.
Shifting focus away from bad things onto positive things, this week even though I failed the weekly objective, I managed to lost some weight and got back on track!
Back to below 80, which is awesome!
Thank you again for your support! Let's crush this together!

@Tazaria87
It’s so nice the walk makes you feel better. Exercise is a natural antidepressant! I know for myself my mood was better when I was walking daily. Keep fighting those cravings. Great day!
@rlaskey2
How did those egg rolls turn out?
@mari_moulin
I think this week has been a bad week for weight loss for a lot of us. We can turn this around next week. A new week is a fresh start.
@shortyjmorgan1
Thanks for the picture as I needed a smile. 😊
@888Angie888
Awesome loss! You are going to crush the 240’s.
@azkunk
I am glad you are increasing your calories. Be patient about the 1 pound loss per week. That 1 pound is 52 pounds in a year.
@littleflutterby
Self care is an important part of the weight loss journey. I am so glad you avoided a relapse. You are so strong.
@Bluetail6
Amazing loss! You have a great sense of humour!
@lelbarou
Rest that foot for a few days! I have brooks which is the best pair of sneakers I ever owned. I love the quotes you posted.
@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
I think some that gain is water weight. To gain that much you would have to eat 26,600 calories over maintenance for the week. That works out to 3,800 calories over your maintenance calories each day. Also, don’t forget to have compassion for yourself. You are having a rough time lately. You still have 1 week in November to do damage control. You have been meeting your goals for a few days so keep that momentum going.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Overall, you are doing awesome. Get back to honest tracking and you will start that losing streak again.
@TASCascalho
Nice loss! Great job on getting back on track.
@363days
Well done!
@lcfa5317
I am glad your hips are improving. Do you think the yoga helped?1 -

I am not shocked at my weight gain. I have been self medicating with food. I was over calories everyday but 2. This week I am going to work on the binge eating and getting those walks in. Binge eating is related to my mood and stress level. So I am also working on those things too!
Hope you are having a great weekend!

2. Drink 70 ounces of water
3. Sleep 7.5 hours daily

User: cesse47
Weigh-in Day: Saturday
Previous weight: 298.2
Current weight: 294.8
STEPS -- 3000 each day this past week
Keepin' fingers crossed that I'm back in the groove!! Staying at keeping it basic: weigh/measure, meal planning, drink water (need more work here), cooking at home vs eating out, etc. This next week going to try to incorporate my daily exercise routines back into my days ... may be light compared to others but I find they help keep me more limber and more steady on my feet (more stable).
Have a great week y'all 3 -
Tracked No

Steps 22114 tracked
Exercise walking
Yesterday I didn’t track all day. My husband had the day off so went went into the city and walked and had lunch. We wore our masks the whole time and it was good to be out in the nice weather. I had a salad with salmon for lunch.
I got a call from a friends husband who drove my daughter home the other day that he tested positive for Covid. So now she needs to quarantine for 14 days, luckily we are 5 day into that already. I am bringing her to get tested Monday. That was the earliest we could find. She feels fine. I had pizza and some fried pickles for dinner. Stressful end to a good day but oh well she is great so I am not too worried.2 -

Hi All,
Hope you have a good day today!
I went to the park yesterday and just sat in the sun! Might the last time I can do that.
The weather is changing. Snow and rain is coming. Boohoo!
Something reminded me of my mother yesterday, and I just cried and cried.
She died a while back from cancer.
But later, I was laughing and okay. I really have my ups and downs! LOL
