Just bought mine a couple of weeks ago to replace my old one and this is VERY accurate, and measures hydration%, fat%, lean mass(muscle), as well as dry bone mass. Love it! $39. agontonr

Wow!!! Congrats on your weight loss! As far as losing any more, especially based on BMI, I'd say no. You are at a very healthy weight for your height. I find BMI to be a flawed measure. It does not account for muscle, which takes up 1/3 the space as the equivalent amount of fat. I would focus on toning and building rather…

I'm an athletic trainer and work people through these all the time. I get them terribly myself as well, and this works well! 1. Get an ankle weight and wrap around your foot. (3x) a. Clockwise circles for 2 min. B. counterclockwise 2 min C. Toe lifts (ankle pumps) 2 min. 2. Stretch Achilles / calf complex. 3. Ice massage-…

I use real butter in moderation. I've lost 21 lbs over the last few months.

We took kiddos to frozen yogurt shop, and in middle of diet. To battle wanting a bowl for myself, I allowed myself 2 samples. (About two spoonfuls). It was delicious and satisfied the craving without totally killing my diet today !

My goal is 150. Once I hit that, I will see how it goes, but I've always had a muscular build so I can't imagine being less than 140 and feeling good.

How did you sync yours to MFP, I can't get mine to do it at all. I go through all the steps, but it never connects.

I use a Misfit and really like it. $49@ Walmart!

Swimming!!!

My husband and I have been following this general breakdown since the end of January, and between us both have lost nearly 50 lbs, I've lost 20. It is a clean eating diet, so no sugars, or processed foods. It's working well so far, just curious how others go about it.

I started a clean eating diet in October, I am splitting my nutrition on a 40% protein, 30% carb, 30%fats and have been drinking 10-12 8oz glasses of water /day. I lost about 6 lbs doing this through the end of January. Last month I did the Advocare 24 challenge. I wasn't going to do it, but after seeing my cousin lose 90…

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Do you have a family member you can talk to? Grandparent, aunt... Sometimes it can be that one person who can help you to get through the hard times. My aunt has always been my rock!

:(

Have you sat down and had a heart to heart with your mom? Explain that you are trying, but need her help, not her pressure or criticism. I teach, so I know how rough these years are, they are flat out brutal with pressure from every side. I feel so much for you and what you are going through. It will get better though. I…

I'm at the exact same place you are... Six weeks in, 16 lbs down, and plateaued and inching back up. It is frustrating, and for me it is especially hard being that my husband had lost 30 in the same time and he keeps going down. Take the advice of others (I need to do the same!). Don't step on the scale every morning! Just…

Look up McKenzie exercises for the low back. I have used these for years and find them to help quite a bit. Also, find a good chiropractor!

But Used!!! I found my $2000 NordicTrac for only $500 on Craigslist. It was 5 years old but only had 30 miles logged on it. So it's brand new! A lot of people find they don't use them like they thought and sell cheap. Also, don't be afraid to ask if you can get in it for a minute or two, I almost bought one from a friend…

I really like mine! I have the Flash. I've had mine for two weeks with no problems... The points from what I see equates to about 300 Pts/mile. I have had no problem with the band being loose at all! Waterproof, tracks sleep. Nice piece!

Is it a "crunchy" or "creaky" sound? It could be cartilage damage in the shoulders or at the connection of the ribs to the sternum. If it isn't painful don't worry about it, but if it ever gets inflamed, have it checked out.

Swim with a leg block so it is all upper body.

An elliptical would be good until the inflammation is gone. I advise my athletes to use Advil 2x /day for two weeks and ice massage as well. (Freeze water in foam cup and massage with ice block for 10 minutes.

I have the Misfit Flash and love it!! And budget friendly!

I'm an athletic trainer (sports med) and it sounds to me like you have strained your achilles tendon at the musculotendinous junction. I would make sure to ice after working out, and if possible switch to a different cardio that isn't jumping so much. Also a heel lift in your shoe may help ease the stress on the affected…

Congrats!! I also started about 5 weeks ago and I'm down 16 lbs! It does feel good and it's awesome to know it is sustainable!! Good luck with the rest!!!

I have the Flash, but it doesn't seem to want to link up. Love it otherwise!
