Returned the Charge HR after two weeks. It did not record and calorie burn during major aerobic class or treadmill running at an 8 min pace. I could be dripping sweat and the thing would tell me 18 calories burned! I will wait for them to work the bugs out first. Bought from REI, no issue on the return.

My gym has a row of TVs. It is not unusual to have to endure more than one tv with the volume up competing with the next. Usually I wear headphones and it won't bother me. The other day I was working out with a partner and we couldn't even hear each other talk, let alone concentrate on the lifts because two tvs were turned…

Wine is my downfall too. I can account for the calories when tracking but really feel like the wine is what is standing between me and a six pack (of abs not beer). I would love to put it down but struggle as well.

I am returning my charge HR today. No matter what I have tried, I cannot get an accurate HR while working out. My last run was 25 minutes at an 8 minute pace, my charge said 0 steps and 18 calories burned. I did a half hour Inferno aerobics class, was dripping sweat at the end, and was credited with 100 calories burned and…

I have three daughters, all teens now but I'll share my pregnancy experience. I started small and gained way too much weight with my first and second pregnancies. I was young and viewed pregnancy as a reason to abandon all eating restraint. I got pregnant with my third daughter the month after I gave birth to my second, I…

I'm 5'4" and 41 years young. My CW hovers at 128. I have gone lower but it looks really emaciated on me. I think it may be a result of having 3 kids. Our hips spread. My daughter is 5'4" and 115. She looks great but thankfully has no kids yet. Me at 115, no way.

Congratulations, you are an inspiration!

Tonight the only Noob at the gym was my husband. I was annoyed at having to re-rack nearly every 45lb weight in the place when we showed up. Then I watched in horror as my hubbie left all his weights on too! Good thing we were the only ones there. When it was time to go, I casually said, sure, let me help you re-rack all…

I was hating the strength training too. Weights are heavy! However, I love the results and now mainly work in the free weight section of the gym and only do cardio for 20 minutes, twice a week.

I want to do a pull up too! I get up on the bar and try as hard as I can and nothing. Great goal.

I was pretty lenient with my calories but stayed focused at the gym. My weight has not changed in a month. I am really excited to get back in my routine, no more parties for this girl.

Yikes. My gym was a little busier but not near that annoying. Oh please, oh please, let these people stay away.

Here's mine. The before is still really hard to look at for me!

I just finished guessing at my calorie intake, its possible that I was only a thousand or so calories over maintenance goal. Downing water like it's going out of style. Planning on a run when I get up in the morning then a long workout at the gym. I plan to move forward in the morning like today didn't happen. In the past…

Congratulations on your weight loss and eight months of maintenance! You should be very proud of your accomplishment, I hope to do as well as you maintaining my loss. I understand what you are saying about wishing the scale would occasionally fluctuate down a couple of pounds rather than up a couple of pounds. I can have a…
