  • I originally bought a Misfit Flash. Nice and inexpensive. The band broke within a week and a half but customer support was good and they sent me two new bands. My major problems with it were inaccuracy (it registered time on my motorcycle as steps) and the watch function being a total PITA. I finally got a Garmin Vivofit2.…

    in TOPS - Take off the Pounds Sensibly Comment by Cymricdragon August 2015
  • I had gastric bypass in late September 2000. Within 18 months I lost 200 lbs (not including the 185 lb of ex-husband). I did gain some back, about 50 lbs, which I am working on get rid of.
