October goal: 50 miles 10/1: 1.75 miles Today: 3.15 miles Total/October: 4.9 miles It was such a beautiful day today and I just felt like running. So, instead of my usual on/off run/walk, I decided just to kick it up a notch and just keep going. I managed to run 5K without a walk break and with no real pain or difficulty.…

I have the Blaze! I've had mine for a couple of months now and I love it. When I first got it, it didn't do the hourly move reminders which was one feature that I was really missing. The other day though they did an update and now it does them so I am even happier with it now. You can change out the bands on it, too. I…

Me: 0 LNS: 1* Damned Little Debbie's! :p

I love my Buddy System leash which lets me take both my dogs with me and leaves my hands free. I also dig my Fitbit Blaze. I don't really have any other accessories, but I am eye-balling those Flipbelts; I think I could use one. :)

October 1: 1.75 miles Total: 1.75/50 miles I've been at 1.75 miles per day for about 3 weeks now with only two days off in there. I run/walk with my dogs in the morning. Our total distance is 3.5 miles and we run for half of it right now. I think in another week or so I am probably going to kick that up to two miles of…

OK...I tried this challenge a while back and did not do well, but the snacking that I was doing at that time wasn't really interfering with my progress. However, it seems that it has gotten a bit out of control and I find I am consuming way too many peanuts in the evening. (Sometimes other things, but peanuts really are my…

Just started running again a couple of weeks ago. I am in for 50 miles in October.

Several years ago I was running at about 110-120 pounds over my ideal weight. I even completed a half marathon at that weight although I alternated walking and running each mile. At present, I started running again just a while ago and I am currently about 75 over my ideal weight. I am taking it very slowly and seem to be…

I just joined the group today. I'm in Houston, TX.

Hello! I just happened upon this group today and thought I'd join. My name is Lissa and I am 47 years old. I live in Houston, TX, where my family owns a small business. A few years back I was running for a while and even managed a half marathon alternating run/walk each mile. My weight has always been in the way though and…

Almond milk is great but for creamy soups I prefer to use cashews. Soak them for at least four hours, drain and then blend with enough broth to get it reach the desired smooth and creamy consistency.

Finally! A Fitbit calorie adjustment! The final update on this issue is provided in the link posted above. Here is it again: http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2574495--issues-with-fitbit-api-9-19

Still no adjustment for me.

I still see nothing coming over from Fitbit. :(

MFP has at least acknowledged that there is still an issue and reports that they are working on it. They appear to be using the same announcement from yesterday to report updates/progress. Again, here is that link: http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2574495--issues-with-fitbit-api-9-19

Same here. Food is going to Fitbit but no calorie adjustment coming to MFP. ~sigh~

They are working on it. http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2574495--issues-with-fitbit-api-9-19

Thanks! I wish I had seen that before trying to unlink/relink! LOL

Thank you! :)

Tried the FitJoy cinnamon roll bars and I don't like them nearly as much as the frosted brownie ones. I am going to have to try the Lil Buff Bakery cake next. Also, thanks to this thread I am now completely addicted to Noosa yogurt. You guys are awesome!

Hmmm...those sound good. My HEB does not seem to stock them. I will keep an eye out.

I sleep better...a lot better. When I was heavier, I likely had sleep apnea. I snored loudly, woke up frequently and occasionally stopped breathing. Once I'd lost about 50 pounds, that all stopped. I sleep pretty soundly through the night. Now at 75 pounds down, my husband says I do not snore at all anymore and I don't…

Not a food, but Chapstick makes a Birthday Cake flavor (scent?) that is amazing. On another note, I finally tried Noosa yogurt and now I know what y'all are raving about. Holy cow! It's amazing. My grocer only carries the standard fruit flavors. I hope I can find some of the other amazing-sounding flavors nearby somewhere.

Here's my Fitbit profile. https://www.fitbit.com/user/4VMS3T Anyone looking for fitbit friends can feel free to add me! :)

I am almost there. I started in January at 286 and weighed in at 211 this morning. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 20 years, so I am pretty excited about it.

I've had my Fitbit Blaze for about 2 weeks now and I love it.

Way to go! You look amazing!

Fitbit Blaze - so happy that I did!

I don't wear my rings very often. The last time I put them on I had to shift all of them by one finger because they were each too big for where I had been previously wearing them. That was almost two months ago and I haven't worn them since. I wonder how, or even if, they will fit once I reach my goal.
