  • Shortest term: get to 'overweight' vs. 'obese' BMI. I have just 2 more pounds until that goal but the scale hasn't budged in a little bit. Longer term: My fam and I will travel to Italy for our dream trip (3 years of saving, 1 of planning). I want to be at a total weight loss of 20 lbs by then. I have 8 weeks and 7.5 lbs…

  • I'm with you! Even with my hubby...he knows that when we go to the track: he does his thing, I do mine. As a female, this used to make me feel like an odd man out. Other women in particular wanted to join my lunch time walks or would only go to an exercise class when they had a 'buddy'. I'm all for being around people I…

  • My son eats it most mornings on a waffle for breakfast. But, he's so active that his fitbit often hits 20k steps by the end of school and I can't keep weight on the boy (he's 11). It's not a health food, but sometimes you resort to anything you can to get food in your kid (especially when they won't stop moving to eat)

  • I wear a surge and I wonder if it has to do with your heartrate? When I jog, I burn more. When I walk, I burn less... even if I end up with a similar amount of steps each day.

  • I have a fitbit surge and love it. This model has gps so it's helpful on my jogs and hikes. I found it's just as reliable as carrying my phone. Likewise, I have a desk job where I have to purposefully MAKE myself get up and walk steps when I may not be able to bring my phone. The fitbit helps me by showing me how this is…

  • It's hard to do when you start from scratch. I find one thing that I can cook quickly/easily/healthfully then plan around it. I tend to cook in waves, freeze it and then use it all the time. I have 3 boys ages 11-14 and they are VERY picky eaters. So, I learned how to make 'shredded' chicken in the crockpot (takes about 4…

  • I eat something on the way home (a banana, granola bar, etc.) because I could easily do this as well. I also snack while I cook and proactively eating something keeps me from snacking more.

  • I do roasted peanuts in the shell. I feel like it is more active participation lol

  • Eating breakfast keeps me from having those "OMG I haven't eaten in forever" moments of binge when I get sidetracked at work and lunch isn't until late. It also helps me (personally) from eating later because I am better spacing my food. But like you, I wait until I get to work to eat (about 90 minutes or so after I wake…

  • I have a 30 minute drive to work and/or spend a lot of time in my van taking kids places. I charge in the minivan.
