  • I just finally got one because I wanted to see what a serving of spaghetti was. I've been successfully losing weight without it and it turns out I've been pretty accurate with logging so I don't feel like I really need it. But it's not a hassle and I don't really see any drawbacks to having one.
  • I just go by what fitbit has for my daily calorie burn. I'm at a 500 calorie deficit so if fitbit says I burned 2200, I eat 1700. I know some people are skeptical of the accuracy for fitbit but its been working for me for almost a year now.
  • I don't really look at it as rewarding myself with specific treats. Since I've been exercising consistently and trying to hit over 12000 steps every day, I'm getting between 400-600 extra calories a day. Having that much extra wiggle room has been tremendously helpful. I get to eat the foods I love instead of trying to…
  • I have had the charge hr for about 6 months and I highly recommend it. It tracks your heart rate continuously so no matter what you are doing (even sleeping) it will tell you how many calories you burn. For me, it has been extremely accurate. If you want to know how many calories you burn during a workout you just hold the…
  • I only took it 3 times in two days. I am a cna and it's very hard to do my job when I can barely move my right arm. It was over a week ago and the pain hasn't come back. Thanks for the info though :) My post wasn't really to tell op what to do for the pain. Just to say it may not be as serious as tennis elbow.
  • A week after I started a new exercise class I was sure I had tennis elbow. I freaked out after looking it up on Google thinking it wasn't going to go away for months (I had just paid $100 to sign up for that class and having tennis elbow would prevent me from doing about 80% of the exercises). But I took ibuprofen and got…
  • I've worked nights for 12 years. I'm a cna so I spend most of it on my feet though. Whatever I eat after midnight and before I go to bed I just go back in my diary and add to the previous day. I keep a pretty regular sleep schedule though, even stay up on my nights off, so it doesn't get too complicated for me.
  • I have been looking for information on this myself. Some people say its possible if you eat right at maintenence or just a slight deficit and lift heavy weights so I'm going to try it. I started a new exercise class a few weeks and I am the weakest person in the class. Granted they've all been doing it for months and I'm…
  • I think it's offensive. Being fat does not always mean you are lazy. Fat people still have jobs, families, children to take care of, houses to clean, laundry to do, dogs to walk, bills to pay, errands to run. Life is hectic. People get tired. They may lack discipline and willpower when comes to food choices but that…
  • There is actually no real evidence of anything dangerous in e cigarettes or vape juice. And one of the side affects of chantex is suicide. I tried chantex twice, didn't work. Vaping helped me quit in less than a week. It's been over a year now.
  • I don't get frustrated. Mainly because I've been in their shoes. Tried all the fad diets and ordered all the workouts from infomercials looking for FAST weight loss. I was the one saying "two pounds a week?! Are you kidding me? That's gonna take me, like, forever!" I work for a staffing agency so when I work somewhere I…
  • I am completely against fat shaming but this is just stupid. If someone isn't intentionally trying to be rude, there is no reason to make them feel like *kitten* when they were just trying to give you a compliment.

  • I've had the charge hr a few months. I love it and it's really accurate for me. I have no friends though, so please add me //www.fitbit.com/user/39TKD9
  • I have a fitbit charge Hr. I LOVE it. It tracks steps, stairs, sleep and heart rate. It also syncs to MFP
