You have to call around but some stores do have stock of the HR and Surge...at least they did before Christmas. I almost bought one online from REI but was worried about duties/taxes.

You can purchase them now. On their facebook page they say they are available at amazon, target, dick's sporting goods, REI and I think one more. In Canada Best Buy has them ready to preorder with a ship date of Jan. 23rd.

Yes it is thank you!! and the HR is even bigger too I believe. I am not a bracelet person so ya the bigger the band the worse it will be :neutral_face:

Thank you so much!! What a great and informative response. I think for now I will stick with the One - it does all I need for now and I the HRM sounds exciting but I remember when purchasing my HRM I was advised to get the chest strap as it had the best accuracy so I will stick with what I know and use. Once the Charge HR…

I don't log walking -- I let fitbit do that however I log anything above walking -- So if I jog (rarely) or exercise I log that as activity on MFP -- I don't think I log anything on fitbit itself.

Ontario here too!

YES!! Almost 7 months in and I cannot lose 20lbs :(

Mom, Wife and I have been an Independent Scentsy Consultant for the last 3+ years.

I have Graves Disease and was Hyperthryoid for probably many years...I didn't really change my diet I guess because I was at a good weight (or so I thought) I was put on meds where I gained about 10lbs then got pregnant and have been up and down with my weight since. You need to see a good doc, one that understand thyroids…

Also I am averaging about 12000 steps a day which for me is pretty awesome!! My goal is 10,000. I burn on average 2100 calories per day this month and eaten was on average 1525 therefore giving me a deficit of - 575 -- which should be plenty to lose SOMETHING!!

Thanks :) I guess I just need to see what my weekly deficit works out to be based on my "burn" versus food. Nothing is fitting better and my measurement aren't changing so I am wondering if it could be medical. I have thyroid issue but they had the opposite affect and I was losing....not gaining or steady. I just think…

Wonder if I could use both somehow -- I am not a bracelet wearer on a daily basis so the One is perfect -- tucks away discretely but some days it would be nice to wear the flex

Thanks for asking -- Made me look it up :) Month 1 - 6.5lbs Month 2 - 3lbs Working on month 3 now and down 2lbs so far.

Your body probably needs it -- based on your first few posts you were only eating 500 calories for a month and a half!

I will now be singing this all day!! thanks ...lol

lol..totally understandable but you could message them :) I don't always check the forum but try to log in daily. Good Luck!

Have you tried the member search?

Yup I use the Salter 1450 Digital Nutritional Scale for everything! Even if I make spaghetti or a casserole everything is weighed and accounted for.

I usually start the timer on my fitbit the same time I start my HRM monitor and then log though MFP -- it adjusts that time frame. I think I read that somewhere to log exercise everything on MFP and just let fitbit do its thing.

If I am reading correctly I *think* she means she eat her BMR and then goes by her fitbit. My fitbit tells me I burn anywhere from 1800-2300 calories so if I am eating my BMR (1444 -1514) plus excessive (hike -- although personally I do not hike) then I would think it evens out no? I could be wrong but that is how I read…

Ok so I changed MFP to my BMR and left everything else alone -- Now I will let the fitbit do it's thing while I do mine and see if that helps. Looks like because I have the fitbit I don't need to worry much about anything else and just keep moving! Thanks all :) Love this site so much!!

Thanks -- I wasn't really confused about that particular number just wondering if I needed to use it or where it fit in. If it doesn't perfect!! One less number to worry about ;)

Some site online

Thanks! So I should be good then -- I mean as long as I plug in the same on both sites they should work together to get me the best basic guesstimate possible!

I do have it linked and if I do more then walking will wear my HRM and log it on MFP only then allow fitbit and MFP to sync accordingly. When you say my MFP targetand my Fitbit target what exactly do you mean? The GOAL on MFP? Which right now for me is 1530? On fitbit I am not sure what the starting number is as it changes…

I wear it on my shirt or in my bra. I have the Fitbit One. I also use it at night on my wrist to track sleep. I am going to add you because I would LOVE your help to set this thing right for me -- something isn't working!!

Ok so just double checked my BMR and MFP says 1444 and other sites say 1514 so my GOAL according to MFP is correct at 1530. and it is less then my TDEE so all should be good. When looking at these numbers though is it based of NET according to MFP? Like I have 1530 GOAL for the day and once I add food and add exercise…

I do tend to believe the fitbit adjustment -- for example yesterday my fitbit says I burned 2013 and MFP has me burning 2020 daily and there was a -8 adjustment on MFP due to Fitbit. I just wonder if there is MORE to it. Those are base calories and don't target heart rate and all that so sure I could walk around all day…

YOU are amazing -- thank you!! and see all that and you didn't even see my diary -- IT CAN BE DONE!!!!
