It was back in May. I just got tired of not feeling comfortable in my own clothes, tired of dreading having my picture taken or looking in to the mirror. I got tired of being tired and not being able to do as much with my son. So I ordered a Vivofit, saw how little I was moving, and once I realized I could hook it up to…

For some reason, if I eat breakfast or eat anything before about noon, it feels like I have massive blood sugar swings for the rest of the day and I actually end up eating more than I do when I wait until noon or 1 to eat anything (and I'm rarely hungry before then anyway). I can't explain it, and I don't know if they're…

Yep. I have a bit of a pho addiction (Vietnamese soup), but the sodium intake is absolutely ridiculous. I indulge in it every couple of weeks, but I know I'm more than likely going to see an increase on the scale for a couple of days if I do. I just keep that in mind when I see it on the scale.

This Cub Scout mom will be saying a prayer for you to make it out unscathed ;). Happy belated Father's Day to the dads! Spent the weekend recovering from the 7 miles we walked at Busch Gardens on Friday. Ended up adopting a kitten on Saturday and fell in love. I ate fine this weekend, but I'll admit, that little sweet face…

Morning! Down 1.4 lbs this morning, so I'm happy! Off to my first session with a personal trainer and then I'm going to use my Mother's Day gift and get a manicure and pedicure. Have a great day!

I love Norfolk! It's really underrated around here for stuff to do. We actually have season passes - this is our fourth time this year! :smiley: This is just the first time with the activity tracker. I promised him we could eat in the park this time since it's just the two of us (and no friends or cousins that I inevitably…

Great job! I'm just struggling to get through the next hour or so before I can leave for the day and be off for 2 days (struggling time-wise, not food wise!). My mom is away this week and our part-time sitter has a school activity on Friday, so I took two days off - tomorrow is to clean up my house and have a first session…

I weigh daily - it's comforting to me to see the fluctuations because I'm more in tune with my body that way. Sometimes I weigh more than once because we also have a scale in the bathroom at work and I like to compare the two - it doesn't throw me off at all, they're always fairly close to one another.

Feel free to add me! I don't have my diary open, but I'll fix that. I could use as much support as possible and would like to support others!

Yep. I eat pho from a local Vietnamese restaurant every few weeks, and I know I'm going to see a temporary gain of 2-4 lbs every time from the sodium (but I love it, so I'm not giving it up :). Hang in there, water weight goes away!

Hi, all - can I join in? I'm newly 40 as of January - married, have an 8 year old son, and am working to get my butt in shape (partly because I'm tired of shopping in the plus size section and partly because I've been fighting infertility for a few years and am hoping dropping the weight will help me get pregnant). I've…

The Garmin Vivofit and I love it so freaking hard:). It was between this and the Fitbit Flex, and I think I went with the Vivofit because it runs on a watch battery and doesn't need to be recharged by USB. I lose USB cords :).

I just bought the PB2 tonight and can't wait to try it. I keep seeing people raving about it. My 8 year old is on summer vacation now and I'm letting him stay up until my husband gets home at 10:30 - I'm telling him is because our son really wants to see him (and he does), but honestly, after 2 years of solo weeknight…

I have overnight oats almost every day and they are so good! I take 1/2 cup of old-fashioned or Irish oats (not the quick cooking kind), mix with equal amount of liquid (I use unsweetened almond milk, which is only 40 calories a cup), and then I add in flavors - my current favorites are chocolate chips (1 tbsn), pure maple…

Thank you both! I think I do have it in my mind, I just needed to write it out and see if that's how it really came across to others as well. I feel like I'd make it a couple of days on 1270 and then get annoyed and set myself back up to 1520. I'm averaging a little more than a lb a week, so even if that slows down, I'm…

Really? Good to know! When I did Weight Watchers (and lost that 70 lbs), I remember having it drilled into me to stay off of the scale except for weekly weigh-ins because the fluctuations might interfere with my mindset and motivation - when it did the opposite for me. I will be stepping on my scale without any hesitation…

I just went through this for the first time since starting my plan - I went up 4-5 lbs because of PMS (and my body likes to hang onto the water weight for the first few days of my AF). I'm probably a little strange because I still step on the scale regularly (I step on the scale every other day at least - which isn't…

I'm having a hard time finding time to work out with my son, too - granted, he's older (8), but my husband works late hours and my gym doesn't offer childcare. I'm considering joining the Y or another gym nearby since they offer childcare. Since it's now summer vacation and he's hanging with my mom in the afternoons, I…

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one who does this! My husband snores like he's in a competition, so I sleep with headphones and listen to podcasts/Audible audiobooks. I'm listening to The History Of Byzantium right now at night, which has a British host with a nice voice. :)

You may want to ask your doctor about sleep apnea. If you're doing everything you can to get a good night's sleep and are still fading during the day, it might be good to have a sleep study. Do you snore? I was the same way - would get 8-10 hours of sleep a night and still wake up exhausted and unable to function. I got a…

Oh, my gosh, this made me smile! After a few months of being inundated with invites for shakes and wraps and food portioning programs (something I'm accomplishing with my plain old Gladware) and hearing what 'miracle' cures they are for people, I'm realizing more and more that my basic (or not so basic) calorie counting…
