  • I do not. But then again, I'm not tired, I don't feel weak, and I use them as 'cheat insurance'. For example, I work out four times a week, and probably burn close to 2500 calories total. I just use those as a cushion for if I go over 200 calories one day, or on the weekend I go out with friends and go 800 over my goal.
  • For some scales they need to calibrate. I lean mine against the wall when I'm not using it, so it gets all wonky if I just step on it once. Take out the battery, step on it very slowly, step off, wait 10 seconds or so, then step back on. That final weight should be fairly accurate.
  • Way, way easier. You have full control over what you bring into your home. Whether or not you have such discipline is another story, but it's all on you.
  • I like how some people are stating information like it's fact even though it's been proven time and time again that it's simply untrue. Artificial sweeteners have zero physical impact on your body in terms of weight loss. Zero. None. Whether or not your brain gets triggered to desire sweets is another story. But if you…
  • Sounds like some pretty garbage friends.
  • If the machine doesn't have an option to input your weight and you aren't putting your hands on the heart rate monitor constantly the data is pretty useless. And even if you do this, it's still not accurate. A fitness watch/band is the most accurate way, especially one that easily connects to whatever health service you…
  • The secret is finding something that works for you. That means you might fail a couple times.
  • Perhaps your weight is set way too high? I'm not sure if that's even an option in the Garmin app, but if for example you were 300 pounds and you entered 3000 pounds, then the calories could be way off.
  • I pound down some water.
  • Just use the generic version or another restaurant's version. If you want to be safe, add 20% extra to it to account for any added sugars or whatever. If nothing else it gives you peace of mind.
  • These kinds of studies remind me of the "tanned people are healthier, so go get a tan and lose weight" studies. Skinnier people are more likely to be tan because they're outdoors getting exercise. Has nothing to do with the tan itself. Diet soda can cause you to crave actual sweets, but other than that, the only health…
  • HIIT is incredibly easy. You don't have to full out sprint for that minute. You just have to push yourself. You know your own body. If pushing yourself is a light jog because you're out of shape, that's fine. The point is to raise your heart rate. Plus it lets you do other things while on our rest period. I play my Switch…
  • I would up your workout time, even if it means cutting to only 3-4 days a week. 23 minutes of exercise isn't a lot, and if you're going to get sweaty and spend the time getting into workout clothes, why not make it count? HIIT is a great method that burns a lot of calories and is fairly easy. You can even start with 1…
