I actually returned mine!!! It was not syncing with my phone. Or, I should say it would only sync when it felt like it! I am not a tech savvy person at all, but I don't think it was my error or lack of tech knowledge that made it a load of crap! Sorry I couldn't be of any help to you!

Thanks!!! :)

I'm only 1 month in (mostly kettlebell and body weight exercises) and I can see a difference in how my clothes fit already!! I work out at home so I don't have a ton of equipment. I have gained 3 lbs. this month but lost an inch and a half around my waist and hips and an inch around my arms!! I'm so glad I measured at the…

I use the Google Play app on my phone and it's usually set to '00's aggro anthems. Eminem, Slipknot, Godsmack, Korn, etc. I need the faster paced music to keep me going!!

Definitely...they're just as effective (if not more IMO because of the convenience) as gym workouts! I'm not a fan of getting sweaty and breathing heavy in front of complete strangers, either!! You may need to purchase or make some homemade equipment eventually...but you can lose weight by just using your own body weight!…

I fall into similar problems. I always reach my goal...then get relaxed and slowly start up with the old habits. I have been doing this to myself for years. This time I am determined to maintain. The most important thing is to just pick up where you left off. Remember how it feels to be healthier and slimmer. I'm always…

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding!

I took some when I started, I need to take more soon!! Thanks for the reminder! :)

Thanks! Yup! I'm trying not to focus on the number on the scale (but, admittedly I have an unhealthy dependant relationship with that stupid electronic square!!!) as I feel great, I'm getting stronger, and my clothes are fitting better. Just need that reassurance!! Thank you! :)

I REALLY wanted a nap when I got home this afternoon!!! But, I worked out instead!!! I stood in my home gym for a while trying to get the motivation and it worked. I still want to take that nap (but I'm not going to now or I won't sleep tonight) and if I did at least I could without the guilt of a skipped workout!!

Don't rely solely on your scale for feedback!! Measure yourself at the beginning and then once a month thereafter so you can see inches lost, too!! In fact, I just started logging and exercising again 35 days ago and measured and weighed myself today.....I actually gained a pound, but lost 2"!!! Thankfully I measured…

Agreed!!!!!!!!! How is that stuff even on the market??!! I'm not sure who test-tastes that crap...but I don't think they're from this planet!!!!! I've tried the alfredo sauce, several of their dressings, the peanut butter spread, and the chocolate sauce and marshmallow spread. You'd think I would've learned after the first…

I generally use the circuit training option. Just be careful...MFP usually over-estimates calorie burn.

Don't give up now!!!! You're only 12 lbs. from your goal!! Think of where you were and where you are now. No one is going to be accountable FOR you....only YOU can do that!!! I've been where you are and given up (my excuses and laziness were more powerful than my willpower)...it's not a good feeling and it's even worse…

Anytime is a good time to start or start over!! I'd suggest you go to fitnessblender.com...it's free and they have workouts for every level of fitness!! Keep at it, don't give up and believe in yourself! You can do this!!!

Stayed the same this week. My first week back I lost a pound. I was hoping for the same this week, but I think I'm retaining water from working out so much so soon. At least that's what I'm hoping it is!?!? :/ On top of that, I won't be adding much strength training into my workouts in the next week since I got my hand…

I'm going to give these a try! They finally carry them at my local grocery store!!!! YAY!

Vitacost.com has them.

I use the juice of a fresh lemon (about 2 tbsp) and a tsp or two of the dry ranch mix!!

I'm not sure what your daily caloric and macro needs are but they are awfully high in calories, carbs and sugar; at around 250 calories per bar, they also contain 22 grams of sugar and over 43 grams of carbs and only about 10 grams of protein depending on the bar. It's an ok snack if you're super active, but if you're…

Oh Thank YOU for creating this thread!!!!!!!! This one and the Muppet's one are my go to's for when I need a smile!!!

Love this one!!!!!!!

Me too!!!!!!

I LOVE Fit Crunch bars by Chef Robert Irvine!!! (They're on sale on bodybuilding.com right now) I just discovered them last week and they are by far the best tasting bars I've tried. I don't like Quest (they have a gritty texture and they leave a nasty aftertaste for me) and Luna bars are actually one of the top 5 worst…

Yes, my floor is tile, but it's pretty flat. I don't keep it in the bathroom because I was told steam isn't good for digital scales...I'm thinking of moving it into my basement gym since it's concrete and perfectly level. I have already replaced the battery and it's still doing it. Thanks for all the tips!!!! :)

Smart! Me too, actually!! 10 would be a great present to myself, but I'd be happy staying at losing 1lb per week!!

Started last week (after a 6 month break) need to lose 30 lbs, but would be happy with 10 by Christmas. Lost a pound last week, just need to stay motivated and focused and this'll help me out! :)

Just search "christmas challenge" in the forums and it should pop right up. :)

Yes!!!!! I just discovered these yesterday and they are hands down much tastier than Quest bars! I tried a Quest bar (cookies and cream) last year and couldn't finish it. The texture was gravely to me and it left a horrible aftertaste!! I went into a "crash and dent" food store and found an 18 bar pack of the Fit Crunch…

For detox (hubby had shoulder surgery and wants to try some to help detox from the pain killers) and aiding in weight loss. Yes, I always clean mine thoroughly before use. I take a clean wire brush and scrape any foreign matter off first. It's the biggest one I've ever found!!!!! Took an 8lb. maul and several swings to get…
