Thank you!

Nice, I have that feature on my Apple Watch too (Tap alarm) it’s nice to not wake your partner! Also I’m trying to look up an image of the dashboard to see how it looks but I’m seeing a lot of half circle (instead of colored bars) and seeing examples of exercise tracking but not just overall daily burn compared to food…

I’ll look into this thanks! Do you wear it all day?

This is interesting, maybe it explains it but feels odd, like I don’t need to work as hard but that goes against what I know lol I’ll definitely look into the Fitbit for that visual, sounds like what I might like. I do have my Apple Watch paired with MFP but seeing numbers isn’t enough (I work with numbers and data at work…

I think I used the quotes wrong not sure how to reply directly to people on here sorry! I take my watch off at night to charge and put on after shower in the morning. Not sure how the general calorie burn is but I’ve noticed it’ll give me nearly the same calorie burn when I do Zumba whether I go hard or not. If I do an…

So what you are saying is fitness trackers calorie burns are not even close to accurate? For day to day activity as well as cardio, or just cardio?

Well the way I see it, taking an average or relying on a device to calculate for me is more accurate than me currently guessing "I guess I didn't work as hard at Zumba today so I'll just guess I burned 300 calories instead of my usual high burn" it doesn't have to be a perfect count but at least ill be in the right range…

Plus, I'd like to know how I do throughout the day as well anyway

In the past I would take heart rate and plug into a formula that included v02 max, to get a burn. So as long as I have a heart rate count I'll be satisfied

I am just going to try and keep under my daily calorie goal on here and pay more attention to my macro nutrients, no real food plan per se but I have a lot of junk I will easily cut out

it is on the group forums, there's a topic called "spreadsheet" and a link inside which leads to a google doc!

I heard that all it does is "shrink" the fat, and then once you stop taking it, it un-shrinks again so its a waste. Of course I've never tried it myself, but I wouldn't bother.

Hope everyone is doing well with the holidays! My weakness on Christmas was the pumpkin cheesecake and quiche. sooo good though..

that would be an awesome way to start out the new year, huh?! happy birthday! You don't look 40, I'd say late 20's early 30's! That's definitely a good thing!

The first recorded weight is on the first :) I have a mini goal myself to be at 172 at the least on the first day

I'm currently on day 12. I got impatient on day 7 and tried to weigh myself and take measurements but ended up disappointed. I did it again at day 10 and found I had lost an inch in my thighs, and a little off my hips. I'm also taking pictures every 10 days to do a side by side comparison because its hard to notice any…

you can do this!! The first 4-5 days of 30DS are the worst as you feel like you're going to die from the soreness. But trust me if you make it past the 5 day mark the pain goes away, and you will be in awe what you can accomplish!

Starting Jan 1st we'll be weighing on through a spreadsheet! Just because it starts January 1st doesn't mean your off the hook till then, every day counts towards those goals! Join us! Still need more 30DS buddies. I'm on day 12 now, but plan on doing it for a total of 60 days.

I have a group for people with weight loss goals for next spring. My goal is to reach my ideal weight by my bday in April. There's quite a few of us that have something happening this spring or just want to be ready by summer. Check us out and we can share ideas and motivate each other…

that sounds very manageable, keep us posted!

wow congrats on your total loss so far! Cant wait to see where you'll be at by your anniversary!

I did start the 30DS, I finished day 9 today :) Come join us! Have you done any of the programs all the way through before? I'm curious about body revolution.

makes them explode? :explode:

I've tried the scorcho, for some reason I just don't care for the flavor like I do the inferno. Although I haven't tried it on the avocado, so maybe I should do that and see if it has the same effect. It isn't very macro friendly. I'm glad I work at In N Out now instead of Taco Bell as that wasn't very macro friendly…

slice of turkey lunch meat wrapped in romaine lettuce with a slice of avocado and tomato. MmmMmmm

Ok I lied, there is another reason: caramel cheesecake bites. Maybe once every 6 months... :devil:

Ewww.

perfect! We can do this! Have you already started 30DS?

Congrats, you look wonderful!! I use a bodymedia armband. Not sure how different it is from fitbit, but its very accurate. Even with doing Zumba, and 30DS. Its awesome knowing just how much I can eat a day!
