  • I spent nearly a year looking over the devices and their pros and cons. It came down to the fitbit and basis b1 for me. When the basis steel edition came out, I bit the bullet and spent 200 bucks. There will always be room for improvement, but I am very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend the basis to anyone, but…
  • Enjoying my day off. I hope I am not spoiled by this, making tomorrow a mess.
  • I was good except Sunday. I am not sure which week that falls under. My diet was good, but having a cold assisted in me not regarding this app.
  • I gained over two inches in my biceps as well as my chest. My legs are bigger, though I am uncertain how much. My key to this comes from constant use of these muscles and pushing your limit slightly. Your body is made to handle a lot of activity, but it takes time to get it back to the ready when sedentary for so long. My…
  • I am not sure if I can expound on my exercises. I might be out of this challenge.
  • I was once in the army, with a 3.8 percent body fat, weighing in at 235. My injuries in Iraq triggered a downward spiral in my health. I do not know how big I had gotten, but after losing over ten inches on my waist, I was down to about 350 pounds. I then got married. My wife manipulated and emotionally sabotaged…
  • I worked out for 100 minutes and 25 seconds, keeping my heart rate up, averaging at 160, peaking at 187. This is down from yesterday, but the twenty minute yoga session is much calmer. I then went on a short walk for 19 minutes and some seconds. I did not eat today until dinner, since I was preoccupied, but I had a healthy…
  • I never stretch before, as there are studies that it may increase the risk of injuries. I have a five minute warm up leading into my routine. I always stretch afterwards though.
  • I am down about ten inches in my waist and two shirt sizes, from 4XL to 2XL. I am so far over 22 percent down from my starting weight as well. Edit- I started losing weight around March 28th of this year.
  • My goal is to lose about 100 pounds throughout the process, which means that I will need to hit the top of the allowed percentages on each weigh in. I suppose we can also do a clothing size challenge. For instance, I am trying to fit into the next size down before the end of the week. We could also do a calorie burn…
  • DietBet: Matthew S. Starting weight: 339.6 % Weight Loss 3-12 10.2-40.7 6-18 20.4-61 8-24 27.2-81.5 9-27 30.6-91.6 10-30 34-101.8 I started the journey weighing 430.2 pounds. My goal is actually about fitting in my cloths, but I put the number 225 as my goal as I was 235 when I was much more muscular. I am hoping to reach…
  • I finished the Jillian Michael's DietBet, and now joined the DietBet 10. I am doing well so far. I have lost more than six pounds in this one since it started last week. I am hoping to lose about one hundred pounds by the end on May 4 of next year. A strong start is key, as weight becomes harder to lose as progress is…
  • I am thankful for any support and motivation from anyone. I am very confident that I will succeed, but their are days that things seem harder than others. I love the idea that I can motivate others with my aspirations, as that drives me to try harder as well. Cheers to success my friend.
  • Welcome to a wonderfully supportive group of people. I am actually just now getting acquainted with this site as well. I have had the application for a long time, but did not really start using it until this month. I glad that I finally took the time to organize my life and do so, as it is proving to be a very valuable…
  • I was once too heavy for the scales that I had available. I could only weigh myself when I went to the VA Hospital for an appointment. I would utilize my measurements as a gauge of my success. This is a better judge of your success than weight, to be honest. I lost most of my eighty eight pounds without a scale to weigh…
  • I had this problem too. I lost thirteen pounds in two weeks, then actually started gaining weight. Jillian Michaels wrote an article on plateaus, stating that they do not exist. The body requires certain things that maintain that continued weight loss. If your properly measuring your calories in and out, and confirm that…
  • While your husband will love you nor matter your physical attributes, as love is with who the person is, the real gift will be the extended years that you two get to share from this change. I believe that having those added years together will be increasingly wonderful if you are happy and healthy as well. I am excited for…
  • I have a blend for breakfast and lunch (510 calories combined), yogurt for snack (80 calories), coconut water for electrolyte balance (43 calories), and dinner is a variant between: fish, butternut squash and a small salad (550 calories), or white bean chicken chili with Tostitos scoops ( 475 calories), or Thai green curry…
  • Does anyone utilize the Kinect for the Xbox 360? I have always wanted to try the online play. I believe the challenge would be exhilarating, in comparison to playing solo.
  • Food is positively the best place to start. I make a blend that I have nearly daily, and it is actually good, cheap, takes only ten minutes to make and is very healthy. About twenty to thirty dollars serves six cups as my breakfast and lunch (three cups each), and the whole six cups is only 510 calories! I will be honest,…
  • I do this too. Remember that your foods do not have an exact calorie measurement for them. The calories on the side of the box is just an estimate. I do not know the percentage that it is allowed off, but I know that it can be somewhat significant. My biggest trouble is sodium monitoring. The amount of sodium in everything…
  • Kieth Green - Psalms 23 Michael Card and John Michael Talbot - One Faith Airborne Toxic Event - Changing Of monsters and Men - Little Talks And many more. I am big into music. I actually write music and play several instruments as well.
  • I completely understand the struggle in getting past the emotions of the past and difficulties of the present. I started April of this year, and I still have 117 pounds to go, approximately. The self gratification and enjoyment in life is so much fuller and richer when you are healthy. I used to love surfing at North…
  • I enjoy the game. It is not perfect at picking your body up in the sensor, but I use the timex watch with heart monitor strap to use as my real calorie and effort measuring device. I recommend that you get the Jillian Michaels game as well.
  • Thank you everyone. I am looking forward to better days. New job, new life and now a new me.
