  • Hello! Glad to see this group is still around - it's been awhile. When I was last here, I was happy with my weight, but really struggling with my depression. I finally got that under control, and decided to start training for a half marathon (speed walking it, not running - my knees don't like running, lol). I was doing…
  • @finngirl61 I have a Charge 4 that I picked up when I started this process about 18 months ago. It never comes off, except to charge about once a week (unless you use the gps function for outdoor workout, in which case the battery will need to be charged more frequently), and has served me pretty well. The standard band is…
  • Happy New Year! Thanks @RavenStCloud for keeping this group going...I have been MIA for awhile but so happy it is here to come back to. I pretty much hit a roadblock after May of last year, and spent the next 7 months bouncing around between 207-212; this past month, and more specifically the last 2 weeks, really got out…

  • Hugs @finngirl61! Hopefully the bible study group will bring you a larger support circle ❤️ For your questions, TOM = Time of month, aka monthly menstrual cycle. NEAT = non-exercise adaptive thermogenesis (or something to that effect), but it is essentially extra calorie burn from daily activities that are NOT strictly…

  • That your body chemistry may change. Dyed my hair for years with no problem, and since losing weight I now find myself with a horrible sensitivity to the hair dye 😞 It may be unrelated, but the timing makes me think not. On a happier note related to the same, but probably more due to drinking enough water, is that my skin…
  • Just popping in for a mid-week NSV. Still in the process of moving, but the kids and I have been taking advantage of the pool at the new complex in the evenings to cool off from the heat wave, and I have been wearing my bikini! Without feeling self conscious about it!!! I haven't worn a bikini in the last 14 years so…

  • @CupcakeCrusoe It is the app that came with my Renpho smartscale. I know that the accuracy on any of the measurements other than weight are not the most accurate, but the overall trend is helpful. I am liking your descriptions of MacroFactor more and more; I really like the idea that it seems to learn you. I may be…
  • Good morning! Off cycle check in here, but I just wanted to share that I am finally in the "overweight " BMI category! Started July 2021 in class 3 obese. Feeling fantastic and can't stop checking myself out, lol. When I started I was a size 35 (US 18/20) in jeans, and though it took nearly 50 lbs before I dropped that…

  • Ha! @CupcakeCrusoe & @seltzer_lover , glad I am not the only one to dump my data in a spreadsheet :smiley: I have zero skills for charting/graphing off the data, but have some small formulas built in for calculations.

  • What activity level do you have set? Do you have negative calorie adjustments enabled? Perhaps a screenshot may help figure it out
  • That may be a good option. I am definitely going to do some more research and check it out. I tried loving my greys coming out of lockdowns, when they were nearly fully grown out, and had to convince myself every day that I liked it. I mean, I do like them & they have a lovely sparkle when my hair is clean, BUT they make…
