There's a new firmware update that I downloaded because mine was dying after only a few hours of use. It fixed it.

Yeah, I go with MFP too and don't have my negative calories adjustment enabled. Some people use their TDEE instead but so far, I've lost 21 lbs just using the MFP calculations.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me.

Sounds like a wonderful ride and kudos to you!! On a freaking mountain bike, no less! I'm kinda laughing here but am really impressed. Have fun on your new road bike.

Sometimes this happens to me and from past experience I know my iron levels have dropped quite low. I take iron everyday but sometimes get busy and miss a few days and then "boom" I'm exhausted. I would suggest a visit to your doctor. It could be lots of different things and may not have any relation to your nutrition or…

Hi Dave, There's a Jawbone group that is active. You can find it here http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/13420-jawbone-up-bracelet

I've always had to input mine manually and never really thought about it, but yeah, it seems like it should sync.

This! The way your goals change! I used to be a runner and thought that my running days were over. But I've lost 20lbs since Dec and am planning to do a 5K soon! That was not on my radar in December. I just wanted to lose the weight.

Also, you mentioned SL 5X5 - are you in Salt Lake and doing the Wasatch Back Ragnar?

Wow, I'm so impressed! I started in Dec 2014 at 265lbs and am currently 245lbs. You really have been working your a** off! I think you can do it but maybe talk to your team about your fears of slowing them down. It's important that they understand how you feel. My daughter-in-law is a marathoner and has done Ragnars. They…

That's incredible! Yes, I think it's a journey of discovery of self!

Yep!

I'm not sure that's possible although it sometimes bugs me a little. I don't get the reasoning behind the scores. Sometimes I'll eat fruit for a meal and the graph is orange (not so good) but then I'll eat something fatty and the graph will be green at 6 out of 10%. Go figure!

Thanks Carly and Lise, your words are so encouraging to me. It's a lot to lose and sometimes seems impossible but I'm taking it one minute at a time!

Check your meds. Zyprexa is notorious for rapid weight gain.

When someone thought I was pregnant - and I wasn't.

I can't even think about avocados. They're slimy, greasy, green, disgusting things disguised as food, LOL!

Have you checked to see if your battery is low or dead? I'd start there.

I LOVE fresh figs. When I was a kid, my uncle had a fig tree. Fresh warm figs, right off the tree are, well, heaven!

I joined recently and just clicked the "join" button and it allowed me to send an email to the group leader telling her why I wanted to join the group.

Back again tonight and the band is still going strong!

Hi editorgrrl, I'm sending them an email now. I had to do a soft reset again tonight and a hard reset didn't work at all. I really think the firmware update caused this. I had no problems until then and was really happy with it.

Wow, that's awesome!

I've been on the Jawbone support site and did another soft reset and charge on my band. Right now it's syncing and the charge says 7 days but I'm not trusting it yet. When Jawbone did the latest firmware update it was supposed to give the UP24 the ability to keep a charge for about 15 days. I updated thinking this was…

Since the latest firmware update, I'm having problems with my UP24. I don't think I'd buy it again.

Mine stopped syncing again today. Maybe it's the website (?). I just recharged it because I wasn't getting any response when I pressed the bracelet button. When I plugged it in, the sun lit up and it would only take about a five minute charge. This bracelet is pretty knew so I'm upset.

Hi Lea, did you find a solution? And I doubt you're an idiot, LOL!

Hi Carly! I'd love to add you as a friend. Love my Jawbone! Jane

You can keep your food diary private. I do for just the reason that you stated. I'll control my own intake and other peeps can control theirs.
