Wow small world I run at the clayton community center and the clayton community park!!!

Absolutely!! I started the c25k program have moved to the 10k program and am currently running 11 min miles and I'm up to 5 miles in 10 weeks and am currently 279lbs you got this!!!

Sweet potatoes are the best pre run food!! Eat a medium sized sweet potato an hour to hour and a half before your run it really gives the carbs and sugars you need without being to heavy and making you feel bloated. I have started doing this and what an amazing transformation

Ok everyone I've been busy but I did an experiment today I ran on a track with a known distance. I synced my shine and recorded what my distance for the day was. I then ran 2.4 miles I used a handheld counter for laps. The shine when synced afterwards said I ran 2.6 miles. I had to run outside lane and inside lane due to…

Thank you everyone this is an awesome adventure I played soccer my entire childhood and as a young adult but let myself go a couple years back I will get there once again

But I had already lost 30 before that since May 2014

Ok so the weigh in has commenced......... And wait for it ................ I was supposed to weigh 295 by today I have stuck very close to the same calorie intake daily same exercise routine for the last 5 weeks I have changed only what I'm taking in (more protein). So take this as you want! This morning I weighed 290.6…

Tomorrow is the day to weigh in fingers crossed

Thank you all

Hello everyone for an update!!!!!! Drum roll please......... I hit what would be my projected weight a week early!!!!!! I will attribute it to a change in diet. I've been eating the same amount of calories for 4 weeks so far but within the last week I've increased my protein intake and have lost some extra pounds had I not…

Ok so for a check in I have been eating approximately the same amount of calories each day for my test. I currently have two weeks until my actual 5week weigh in, and I'm 3.5 pounds away from my projected weight. I average about two pounds a week so that is right in line for what it says. It has been a struggle sometimes…

I think a lot of it is just our minds. I do not tell myself I can't have something, I just eat less of it. If we have pizza I will have one slice( instead of 3) and eat some fresh veggies. Also using smaller plates help a lot. I've started buying dole frozen banana slices dipped in dark chocolate one pack is 100 cal. And…

:)

So as an update I'm 6lbs from my projected weight with 3weeks to go so I should hit my goal in the time frame will keep posting as I go

February 15th is my 5 week projection

Awesome that's cool

Oh no not stressing about it like you said just a fun experiment

I eat almost the same calories everyday +/- a hundred or two so I'm going to try it to see if it's really that accurate. Just because I'm curious lol

I would try that and see if that helps or the necklace

oh and I wasn't thinking as well you cant just look at how many steps you have taken and look at calories it is an activity tracker so all your movement throughout the day are tracked as well in that number

and in the app the bar graph at the bottom is really good to see because I check it so much that it really does justify how active im at certain times so that is defiantly correct. I hope this helps I have a ways to go to get to my goal and this has really helped motivate me as I can see the correlation between days and…

I think its a good measure of how your doing im using the iPhone 6 with it tied to the misfit as well. I know for me it is helping a lot even if it were to be a little off unless you spend over 200 for heart rate monitors and the very expensive trackers the misfit has had very good reviews I love mine as all the options it…

I've been using one for a little bit now. what's your ?
