I think one of my favorite, but also most hated, phrases is that you can't out train a bad diet. If I'm working hard in the gym, i dont want to slow down progress by ignoring the second half of a healthy lifestyle; paying attention to my portions shows so much quicker. Counting calories is helpful, but it also shows me…

I'm a second-year nursing student (graduating in may!) and currently work as a CNA. I went from being extremely active to doing nothing but work, classwork, and more classwork. I just started using this app again to help track my journey to my former self; I didn't want to be the RN preaching about healthy eating and…

Me! I'm returning to this app after a break, and would like to get back to my pre-nursing school fitness/shape.

Oh my goodness, you're so much like me! I went from playing coed volleyball, heavy weight training, and cardio 6 days a week to...working full time, school full time, and sacrificing my workouts for care plans and 4-5 hours of sleep a night!!!

Good morning from Alaska! It's been a while since I've been on here (I'm a second-year nursing student drowning in school work), and I'd love to make some new friends. I graduate this May, and don't want to be the RN that recommends healthy eating and an active lifestyle without practicing what I preach.

Wowsers, that's so impressive! Talk about some major motivation. You too, Polo571! You're definitely not alone, and this is by far one of the best places to be if you're trying to lose. You're not on a sinking boat, but starting a new journey! The ride might be a little rocky at times, but that's when you'll come on here…

I actually thought this was stated very well. You kind of reminded me of R. Lee Ermey from the insurance commercial when you said lovey touchy feely crap, lol. ;) tsosbe, you are a cutie(as Marisol already stated), and you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders when it comes to this. Use it as motivation, and…

That one looked like it's the best deal. Which color did you decide on? Please keep us updated on how you like it. I have a feeling I'll be getting one in the near future, too. ;)

The places I've found that service F6's all say the same. They want you to approve at the very least $75.00 for changing the batteries/servicing and will contact you if it will cost more. I get a little leery about pre-approving any cost when having work done. It'd be a lot more comfortable if they listed flat-rates for…

Thank you for sharing. I love my f6, but if I can get a newer version for a little more, then it's worth it to me to pay the difference. Income tax returns are just around the corner, and I can wait it out until then.

My polar F6 chest strap finally died out on me, and I was debating buying a new one too. On all the websites I found that services the F6, they want to charge around 75 dollars to replace/service. Can you post the websites you've been searching through so far? I'd really appreciate it. :)

1. Stinky gym-people... I understand people can't always smell GOOD at the gym (duh), but seriously, I like a little space, and it seems like the only people who DON'T understand that are the ones that smell really, really badly. 2. Cooties. Yeah, I actually typed it. You SWEAT in a gym, people come SICK at the gym, and…

No side-effects here, either, but if you bought the kind that's behind the counter, it contains psedophedrine(sp?) which can effect people in different ways-my husband responds to it the same way you did. The stuff that's out on the shelf doesn't contain that ingredient, and you might have better luck with it... Hope you…

Sorry I took so long... I MAINTAINED, UGH! I need to really kick it up a notch... Even worse? I rolled my ankle last night while playing volleyball. I didn't re-sprain it, though, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. It's really tender, though, so I have to start wearing my dumb ankle brace again while taking classes…

Just posting to mark the page...

Yes, I count Crystal light and things like that, but make sure you're aware that they do have calories... I know that I was using propel water bottle packets, and didn't pay attention to the fact that I could have 100 extra calories a day if I went crazy with the water!!!

Sorry everyone's feeling sick! I'm finally getting over the last of a really bad sinus infection, so I know how everybody feels! Today was the first day working out in over a WEEK... I thought that it would make me feel better, and it did, but when you've been sick for 8 days you can really tell the difference in your…

Sudzie-I have had my F6 for about 6 months, and I love it... I lost the heart rate monitor that goes against your sternum, and almost died without it!!! It was only lost for 2 days, and it was like the end of the world for me... Even my kids helped me tear the house apart, I was so frantic! We found it under a pillow on…

I have an F6!!! I LOVE it!!!:love: I only wear mine during my exercise sessions... It's very handy for when I actually do what I'm supposed to and monitor my calorie intake!:embarassed: I'm almost at 100%... Still dealing with some stuffiness and coughing junk up.:noway: I'm hitting the gym on Monday, and will be VERY…

I maintained this week... I actually started off with a loss earlier on, but after I felt a little better, I gained it back. I think it was water-weight from being sick. I'll be back on track now that I'm able to function!

I think I can actually function now... The worst of my sinus infection is over, and I can actually breathe! I feel more like a human and less like dog poo... It's definitely a step in the right direction!:laugh: As for not losing weight... I can completely understand it, Christine. I have been kicking butt with workouts,…

I'm SICK!!! Ugh. I thought I was having pretty bad allergies, but it turned into a full-blown sinus infection. The last time this happened, I was on 2 rounds of antibiotics and sick for a month.:sick: I also had an allergic reaction to penicillin... I'm going to wait it out, and hopefully I'll get over it without having to…

Hey all... Contgrats, bwilton! You're doing so great! Very motivating to see so many people losing weight on this thread... I got to work out with my husband today, and boy was THAT motivating... It really keeps you from stopping when you want to, just because you don't want to look like a sissy! I did so many push ups…

Just wanted to check in... No changes here, so I know I need to get my butt in gear. I have the exercise part down pat, it's my diet that's killing me!!! I love the new challenge idea, and I'm all for it. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but for some reason lately if there's a cookie at my house, I have to have one! I've…

Had oatmeal for breakfast, and then went out to lunch with the girls. I opted for the salad bar, and half way through my salad I found a HAIR!!!:sick: That's definitely one way of making sure you don't over-eat... Ugh. I have a class at the gym and volleyball tonight. I'll be really disappointed if I don't show a…

Good morning! Started off the day with a bowl of oatmeal... Now off to run some errands, and then work out. I'm planning on being especially neurotic about my calorie intake-I want to see some loss this week. Hope everyone has a great day!

Everything went well today... Except my darn headache came back. I know it's not due to dehydration, because I've been drinking so much water I feel like a camel. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day! My husband is waking me up at 6:00 to work out with him tomorrow morning, so I'd better get off to bed-it's almost 11:00 here!

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a looooong day for me-I had a migraine that just wouldn't stop! I feel tons better now, and am going to squeeze in a workout before tackling the housework waiting for me at home... Off days are never really "off days" when you have 2 kids and a pile of laundry waiting to be done!

Good morning, everyone! It's raining like crazy here, but that's okay-my workouts are all inside. I'm trying to stay motivated, though. It's getting to be a real bummer having the weather be so gross for so long-kinda draining, if you know what I mean! Sounds like everyone is doing well!

Whoops! Missed Thursday check in! I maintained from last week with no more lost, but I'm happy with that after my trip to the city... Did my C25K today, and have P90X later on.
