There will always be good and bad stories with just about anything on the internet. There will be success stories as well as failures. I had the sleeve gastrectomy last October and feel it's the best thing I've ever done. Was it easy? Uhm, no! My boyfriend had the gastric bypass in 2009. He lost 175lbs in 2 years and has…

Yes, I have but it's not too much of an issue for me since I pretty much use S Health exclusively.

I was a Fitbit customer for a long time (at lease 8 or 9 years) and have had a Fitbit Surge, Alta, Charge 2 and Ionic. I switched to the Gear S3 to get the phone and messaging capability for when I don't want to carry my phone on walks/runs. So, here are my responses to your points above: 1. I carry my phone at times and…

I've scanned all QRs posted here. Here's mine:

Taking rest days aren't absolutely necessary, however, what others have said is true. You need to mix things up a bit and not work the same muscle groups in consecutive workouts. I walk every day but vary the speed at which I walk - some days I walk at a 3.8 mph pace and others I walk at a 3.0 mph (or slower depending on…

As a woman, I have a bit of a different outlook on strength training than a lot of women do. I have been lifting most of my life and was once a bodybuilder. My goal is to get better and do better with each work out I do - otherwise why do it? If I'm not sore the next day or within 48 hours, then I need to change something.…

Looks like I underestimated how far I walk in a month. So I'm down for 130 miles for February.

Monday 1/30 : 6.89 miles Tuesday 1/31 : 9.02 miles 128.95 total miles for the month of January. I'm not sure if any were given to Dave, but if there were just deduct from the total reported here!

I am well past goal now but did 6.89 miles today which can be given to Dave, if he needs them.

I didn't do any walking today but plan to tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday and those will be in Dave's honor.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Dave. My thoughts are with you and your family. I'm in for the extra mile too.

About 7 years ago, I was training for a body building competition. I weighed about 170 lbs and was doing a 700 lb leg press for 5 reps. It took me about 6 months of training almost daily to get there by progressively adding more weight with each session. Of course, I also did squats and deadlifts, leg curls and extensions,…
