I have one of those toppers on my Sleep Number (my number is 25!)! 3 inches of memory foam. It's luxurious! But I do sleep with a pillow between my knees if I'm on my side. Knees up over a pillow if on my back. But my bed is lovely squishy!

That RAD thing. We just got cussed out and some physical aggressive issues for about 20 minutes last night because she didn't want the dinner we were fixing. I had to lock the refrigerator and record it. You should have heard her fat-shame my husband. Yeah, I would love for them to even just watch their portion size! When…

re: childhood obesity that was mentioned by several My teenage daughter is headed that way. And I'm on a tightrope. I want to talk with her about it and help her decide she needs to lose weight now. But there's the whole fat-shaming thing to not run into and my daughter has RAD and is 15. You may not know RAD. It's…

She's 15. She doesn't care about healthy. She cares about looking good before she goes to bed. She puts on makeup BEFORE she goes to bed. Sigh. Teenagers are ridiculous! Anyway, she thinks a thigh gap is gross and that I have no "booty." In fact, I get so many compliments when I dress up. I'm beautiful and while my stomach…

Never mind. Finally saw the odd spelling and it came up. Pact is not getting good reviews right now. Fitbit isn't syncing or even connecting, users not able to take pictures of foods, not getting refunds from customer services. I'm staying away from that one unless and until they get that sorted out. I've joined…

Can I get a link to Achievement? Googling it is NOT helpful.

I'm glad your family is coming around. My husband has gotten FATTER since I started losing in April 2014. So it's been a long while. I hit my goal last October. Been going further down since then. No evidence that he's starting to care. He's obese and fine with it at the present. I worry that I'll lose him earlier because…

That your success may NOT inspire any of your loved ones. Even though your success SHOWS you know how to do it, they don't even want to start on the process. Even though my husband just had to buy BIGGER shorts. It didn't click for him that he really needs to lose weight. Daughter is still in denial. Thinks a thigh gap (I…

I wish. I can leave it without eating it but then when I do want it, I'll find either my husband or teenage daughter has eaten it all.

My husband lucked out. His Charge was falling apart. (Slate Charge Large). They sent a Charge HR in Black. Oops.

I've lost between the amount of cheese an average American eats in a year and a cinder block. The post wasn't easy to find. Here's a link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/660835/ive-lost-an-elephant-penis

Yep, they only replace the same product and color. No credit toward an upgrade or anything.

I use a Sony Xperia Z2 phone, Android Marshmallow.

I don't know about maximizing but it sounds to me (I'm no expert) that you should log your food in MFP. Then let Fitbit deal with steps/activity. Since, you're not doing a set exercise so much as just being on your feet. Fitbit may recognize some activity (It gets some Walks for me) but they don't show up in MFP except as…

I just click on the notification. It takes me to a configuration page. I back out of that. Notification is gone.

Was a Flex user. Now Alta. Got my Alta a couple months ago: https://www.fitbit.com/user/3FN3HJ

I've noticed my Fitbits (Flex then, now Alta) never show my sleep without me doing something. So I always tell it when I'm going to bed and when I wake up. If I forget, like when I'm taking a nap, I'll try and add the log after I wake up. When I do, it usually tells me another record exists for that time. Only then does…

This hasn't been true for me. Well, the social life thing is no different. Didn't have much of one before, don't have much of one now. But I'm not hungry all the time and I do eat yummy stuff. I don't deprive myself of anything. I just change how much or how I eat it. I have Rich Chocolate Boost shakes for lunch. 240…

Yes, it's up and running and free. So I quit paying $60/month for parking and tolerate the sore behind as I commute to and from work on the streetcar.

I'm fortunate in that I didn't have that much weight to lose. To date I've lost 33 pounds. So I do have a skinnier body nearly like I was as a teen. (I'm 44.) But this makes me think about my husband. He's technically obese. Presently, he's not working to lose weight. But if he did, he'd have a lot to lose, enough that he…

Sadly, in trying to eat the fiber I'm supposed to (25 grams), I have found it causes lots of gas. So I bought a thing of generic Beano and take that whenever I eat something significantly high in fiber. Cuts it down. Doesn't eliminate the farting but less of it.

I got the small and yes, I had difficulty clasping it. Apparently you need to do it a couple times to make the holes loosen up a bit. But I found I could unhook the whole band from the tracker on side. I tried it to see if I could get it off and put it back on that way. That's generally what I do now. I don't unclasp the…

I do find that it doesn't fit as well. With 2 spaces free on the band, I feel the Alta is too lose. The tracker itself is kind of heavy so it falls forward when my arm is down and the other way when my arm is up. With 1 space free, it leaves an imprint of the tracker on my arm after a day of wearing it. Could use a fit…

That sitting on the new KC Streetcar would be painful. The seats are hard plastic. I feel every bone in my rear end.

Got my Alta and a screen protector for it and put it into use this weekend. It was a little challenging to get set up but now that it is, I love it. It's more classy than the Flex was and shows more information. I don't feel it's inaccurate either. Got 8 screen protectors for $1.49 on eBay. So I won't have to worry about…

Definitely here at my office. Every day.

I just ordered mine. Should be getting it around the 9th or 10th.

I want the Alta. I have a Flex now. I wear splints to sleep so it's been important that I could take the tracker out of the band and put it in a clip attached to my splints. The Charge and Charge HR don't have removable bands so I didn't consider them. But the Alta has a lot of the same features and does have a removable…

Done!

Did that!
