Exercise is becoming something I look forward to instead of dread! I’ve found classes I love. I’m getting stronger and I can see my body changing. Feeling proud of myself!

My favorite breakfast is shredded chicken, avocado, and sharp cheese rolled up in a tortilla. Add in a little honey mustard. It's not really breakfast like, but keeps me from starving all morning.

Thanks Colorado! I keep going back and forth. I'm thinking Alta HR is probably more practical. I like the looks of the new one because it's thinner. I love the idea of the Apple Watch, but I don't know that I would use the apps and things on it. Something to think about over the next few weeks.

I had the Charge HR. That's the one that died in the wash.

Used to be!

Me too! My problem is exercising after work. After being on my feet all day and being constantly "on" (I'm a 3rd grade teacher), the last thing I want to do is exercise. I'm exhausted and just want to go home. My plan this week is to go to bed earlier, which is hard for this night owl, and wake up and go to the gym before…

Feel free to add me! I'm looking to lose about 65 lbs!

Have you noticed a difference in steps when wearing the Fitbit on your wrist rather than in your pocket? I have a Fitbit One, and it's fine. But I really want the Charge HR.

Feel free to add me!! I don't have a lot of active friends, so the more the better!

I am not a morning person. My natural wake up time is 9am. Too bad work gets in the way of that! :) however, Years ago I used to go to a 5:30 am spin class. I loved working out in the morning. It woke me up, and it wasn't looming over my head after a long school day. It also helped that I worked out with 1-4 other friends.…

I'm on day 3 of going to the gym. I plan on going tomorrow, but will do light cardio. My muscles hurt a bit.

I can't get those to stay in my ears when I'm just sitting down and not moving. I'm beginning to think I have ear shape issues :) Thanks for the suggestions!

I find that drinking more water helps me. Try to make the snacks you have more protein based. That might help too.

Same stats as you! Add me if you want!

I despise lunch. It's my least favorite meal of the day. I usually have a pbj. It's kind of a calorie killer. But as a teacher, I like to eat quick lunches. If I don't have a pbj, I eat leftovers from the night before.

I'm looking to lose 50-70. Yikes. Feel free to add me!

@Orchid4mom2 - not that I can remember. Just always very stiff.

I had severe PF, that left me bawling on my living room floor one night. I swore I was never going to walk normally again. I went and saw a chiropractor who specialized in A.R.T. And he used a metal thing. He scraped my feet, Achilles' tendon, and calves. It hurt like hell when he did it. We did about 8 sessions with that.…

I used to love working out in the morning. I would do a 6am spin class. Then after showering, is head to work for the day. It was wonderful knowing that I didn't have the gym hanging over my head. I haven't done that in the last 5 years though, since I moved out of state. I like my current gym enough, but the classes I…

I hear you!! My commute isn't anything like yours. But I still don't have the energy after working with 8 year olds all day. They are wonderful, but so busy!

Thank you!!

Silly question. How do you do a friend request?

Feel free to add me as a friend. For whatever reason, I can't seem to figure out how to request friends. We can be good support systems!!

As a teacher, I love this! And it's so true! We had an I service today so I had my diet coke to keep me awake. But once I got to my desk, I looked to see if I had any chocolates stashed away. Nope. I didn't. I don't know why I even looked. I don't keep candy very often! I also turned down lunch out and had a turkey…

I went to a chiropractor who specializes in A.R.T. I went for 4-6 months and he performed miracles. I've been pain free for over a year. Before that I struggled with PF for at least 4 years. Cortisone shots didn't help. Neither did the very expensive orthotics I bought. The orthotics only helped after going to the chiro.…

I weigh daily knowing that there will be fluctuations. For example, between yesterday and today I "gained" 3 pounds. I know that's highly unlikely, so I don't worry about it. I weigh every day just to learn patterns about myself, food, water, etc. I do an official weigh in every Saturday morning and record it on MFP.

I weigh every day, with full understanding that there will be fluctuations. I officially weigh in every Saturday morning and enter it on MFP.

I taught in MA for 8 years, in Boston! I miss that city!

I hope you get some answers! I'm also on that med, and I've never felt a difference off it or on it. I will say that since being on it, I have had a much harder time losing weight. But feel like I have gained very quickly!!

A question for everyone - how do you fit in exercise during the week? I find that I'm exhausted at the end of the day, and am not a morning person so doing it before school would kill me! I'm usually at work from 8:00-4:30. Then I come home and walk my dog for a half hour or so (shorter or longer, depending on the…
