Me too, with Versa 3 and iPhone. It started when the U.S time changed, I believe. Please Google, fix this soon!

Welcome! Good for you for reaching out for that motivation. I've realized that I'm feeling crappy due to days getting shorter, eating and drinking too much (and not enough fruits/veggies), and less physical activity. Today is Day 1 for me to make a change. Feel free to reach out with a friend request! Signed - a mom in…

I'll be your friend! I'm 49 and a mom in Virginia also. Today I'm starting my journey to lose the Quarantine 15 that I gained by being in or near the kitchen 24/7 and cooking treats for my family :smiley: I'm having trouble figuring out how to send friend requests (why is there no button?) but feel free to send me one if I…

This makes a lot of sense to me. I am going to have to learn some patience. My plan was to get to a certain weight by April 1 so I could run without knee pain ... the whole thing was premised on continuing to lose weight on a straight-line pace. But you've gotta listen to your body. If mine needs a bit of a rest, I will…

OK, I hear ya, I will read those resources and change my approach. Please be patient :wink: I felt great while losing the first 15 pounds at a reasonable pace over several months, so I really didn't think I was being a total eff-up by not logging my workouts on MFP, although I do realize it has that feature. I just figured…

Thank you, that is helpful info. Logging the workouts would give me big spikes and troughs. For whatever reason, I just find it easier to stick to my goals if I maintain consistency day to day, so I went ahead and changed my goal to 1/2 lb per week. Thanks everyone for your helpful replies!

That would be about 1500 calories per week or more ... feels like too much if I want to keep losing. I wish there was a way to just add 100 or 150.

I've had the Versa 2 for four months. I am delighted with the watch, but there are definitely limitations. The good: the physical quality of the device is very solid, the "always on" watch face is attractive (ive actually gotten compliments on it), it seems to track exercise calories accurately (after tweaking some…

I'd love to add some new friends for the journey! My food diary is open to my friends. So far I've lost 13 lbs and want to lose 13 more. Arlington, Virginia USA.

She blows hot and cold re: cheese. A while back she was on a Manchego kick (seriously, this kid has some interesting taste), but not anymore. If I shell out for the fresh mozzarella balls, she will eat them, but only if I pack them in her lunch. Guess I need to keep trying different kinds.

She does like butter, so that might actually work.

Super smart idea. I think she would enjoy having a blender "just for her" that she can play with. And I roast veggies every week ... I'll start making hers separately with butter. I just googled "bliss balls" ... goodness, there is a whole world out there! Thanks!

That is a great idea!! Not sure why, but I had totally forgotten about Nutella. If she takes after me, she'll have trouble stopping.

Great ideas, thanks! That is so funny about the peanut butter and brussels sprouts for dinner. My daughter would totally eat that. I am always laughing inside when I offer her a bunch of delicious, buttery, creamy options and she just wants cherry tomatoes, and her favorite snack is those little crunchy seaweed snacks that…

That is wonderful! Way to "walk the talk!'

I want to feel comfortable tying my shoes. I want be graceful getting out of a car. I want to shop at banana republic, at least sometimes.

I’m in! I just did a health inventory through my insurance, and it wants me to reach my goal weight by April 2020. Nice coincidence.

Can I be invited please? Need to lose 30 lbs so I can get rid of some nagging health problems. I usually can’t stay motivated more than a few weeks, need to do something different this time.

Hi, 46 here and looking for inspiration and accountability. I’m taking some medication that causes weight gain and I’ve picked up 15 lbs. I’m just plain sick of the effects of the weight... snoring, knee pain, clothes don’t fit. Please add me!
