I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know! I guess I should start wearing my glasses when I'm using it! So yeah, OP, that kinda takes away a bit from my complaint about it!

The only thing I'd be concerned about with the Fitbit is that it can go on a lot about calories, which an active 9 year surely doesn't need to start worrying about. But you could set up the app and online dashboard to ignore that if it's something that would concern you. I'm really happy with my Fitbit Flex but it can be…

Carob - it tasted like doggy chocolate... For obvious reasons. I've been so put off it that I refuse to try any recipes with

Well knowing that others can see if I ate a whole tub of chocolates to myself would certainly help me mindlessly doing it! But yeah that's totally true and I guess I hadn't really viewed it in that way - I've had a pretty unhealthy relationship with food for most of my life and this year is the first Christmas that I feel…

Very true! I am worried about falling off the wagon after though, but I guess I'm not sure whether tracking would help or hinder that situation (though I guess tracking it would mean I'd be concious that people could see my diary and therefore how much chocolate I've had!)

Well Christmas is the first holiday here and New Years is always quiet because it's a family member's birthday so it's only the actual day I'm worried about. I'm worried it'll make me go 'eff it' and go off course. Then again, seeing the numbers could well do that! Yeah that's exactly my fear! I think I'll have to spend…

I'm not worried about those days - I know I'll be around my calorie goal. And it's less than a month away - the way the shops are going on you'd think it was tomorrow though.

Yeah this is one of the big things that's making me not want to. That and Dad is very much in charge of the cooking so I won't even be able to see what goes into it.

I think most of my workout today will be attempting to get my old exercise bike out from under everything in the garage...

Aw no! I think toilet troubles happen to the best of us at the gym so I'm sure most people there would have understood if anyone had been about.

My face changed loads when I gained weight. Now that I'm losing it, it's changing again. Only this time because I'm older it looks slightly different - cheekbones are more defined etc. I guess even the tiniest bit of fat makes a lot of difference on our faces!

I'm a lesbian and don't have many active friends on here! I'll send you an invite :)

The serious gym goers at one of my gyms definitely did. It was certainly motivational seeing what you could look like with some hard work!

We're almost twins! I've sent a friend request, hope that's okay!

Age: 20 Height: 5'10.5" (last time I got measured - 4 years ago now) SW: 196 CW: 194 GW: 155 (then maybe 140, I'll see when I get there) Feel free to add me - I'm trying to really stick to it so getting involved on MFP is key for me. :)

Awesome! Thanks guys. I was just worried because the last time I was doing this much exercise, I had a coach!

Beckyloo - it certainly is much more fun! Zombies, Run is helping immensly too. And I've added you, thanks :smile: rms - Haha yes, that and I couldn't juggle a part-time job to pay for food and a full-time commitment to the rowing team. :(
