I have a Surge but I'm going to be getting the Blaze (can't wait to get it!). I love tracking the heart rate, sleep patterns, and the ability to just start a workout on it and it will tell me at the end of it how many calories i burned, based on my heartrate. I realize it's approximate, but I love that feature. I enjoy…

Congrats to the OP, great job! Americans pointing out grammatical and supposed spelling errors is just another thing that makes me ashamed to be an American. Trust me, we're not all like that. There are those of us who are completely polite and civil human beings who aren't full of themselves :) So as to not derail the…

LOL best ever. I'm also guilty of trying out the Thighmaster. I try to stay away from gimmicks like that from now on.

5'6" current weight is 168 (well 167.2, but I'm rounding up since I'm not right at 167) and my goal weight is 135. When i hit goal weight, I'll see if I want to lower it down to 130 or not.

there's also the Disney DDR game and a gamecube game DDR Mario Mix that can be played in the wii- Both are awesome :)

I read that thread about "what nobody told you about running".... I was kind of put off when I read that. It seemed more of an elitist kind of comment, and I stopped reading that thread after that. I get that people like to feel superior over others sometimes, but really? Why throw snide comments like that? If someone…

I'm an AM workout person too- because I know myself, that it won't get done unless I get it out of the way in the morning before I get ready for work. I'm lucky that I have a room dedicated for my workouts so I have no excuse :)

I have the Surge and LOVE it.... but, I'm not a big fan of how the band is not replaceable; so I'm going to be gifting it to my friend when I get the Fitbit Blaze when it comes out in middle of March. The Blaze is almost the exact set up of the Surge, but it has changeable bands. I think that one of the differences between…

I love the Fitbit- I have the Surge, but will be getting the Blaze when it comes out (I love the option of changing the bands) and will probably give my Surge to my friend. I like how you can challenge your friends to friendly step count competition and it can sync the activity to myfitnesspal; it also syncs to…

Also, just heads up, Fitbit will be coming out with the Fitbit Blaze- it's like the Surge, 50.00 cheaper, and it has changeable bands. I'm going to buy the Blaze and give my Surge to my friend.

Can I join?! Will be 40 in December, and would love to drop 40 pounds by then! I figure I'll meet that goal if I lose around 4 pounds a month :)

Cold turkey is the way to go. I quit smoking in 2002, the first two days will be the hardest, but once you pass that, it will be easier.

if you're into Otome, there's an app I recently downloaded from google play last month, and its gotten me to do sit ups, squats and push ups daily. It's Burn Your Fat With Me (for girls). Yeah, the main character that you deal with is a complete jerk at first, but it's really a cute story line once you finish it, and I…

http://greatist.com/move/morning-workout-hacks I was googling tips for getting up early and i saw this post... I knew that I needed to start getting up earlier to be active, since I'm at a desk job, M-F, 8-5, and I know that I simply won't have the desire or energy to be active in the evening. Since making the decision to…

Check out Body Beast, it's really good, and a lot cheaper than it used to be. I like that it doesn't have as much of the commercials for their nutritional products as the others, and I absolutely <3 the focus on the weight lifting. Amazon has it as well. I don't know how much equipment you have, but if you don't have free…

I love this quote. Consistency is the most difficult for me. I have a desk job, typical M-F 8 -5, and I know for a fact that I won't (not can't) workout in the evening. So the only time I'm going to is early in the AM. So my fix for myself is to wake up at 5 (alarm is set for 4:45 so I give myself my needed 15 minutes of…

add me here and on fitbit :) //www.fitbit.com/user/2WNXXJ Oh, also for anyone who's been having an issue with skin irritation wearing the Surge, I found an awesome cover being sold on Etsy (search for fitbit covers). I'm really happy with the one i bought (I chose pink camo) and it covers the band area but has opening…

I'm on my second day of Lean Phase. Lord the legs killed me, so glad I finished it though.

I have DDR Mario Mix for the Nintendo 64, i can play the disc on my Wii, and it uses any dance pad, which is nice. There's a game mode to play through to "save the princess" and just a mode to practice the songs. Both are great! I like to make it a reward to be able to play DDR Mario Mix, so I have to complete another…

I'm liking the Microsoft Band, it measures heartbeat, can tell based on that how many calories are burned during a workout, a run, etc. I read a lot of the reviews and compared it to the Fitbit Charge HR.... and the fact that it syncs with myfitnesspal is the reason I chose it over the Basis Peak

I don't know what kind of answers the OP is looking for. The only advice I have for her is- break up. Do the guy a favor and let him find someone better for himself. Maybe the OP can find someone more of her caliber as her gas smells like rainbows and sunshine... That's just the feeling i get from reading her numerous…

That sucks that you have to lose out on that money, hopefully they won't charge you a cancellation fee or anything. And it's too bad that they won't left you let someone else use it. But then again, from a business standpoint, I'm sure it financially benefits them, and to heck with their customers, eh? At least you can…

I use my rebounder during some higher impact dance dvds, running/walking/jogging in place, it makes the higher impact exercises a lot easier :smiley: I also use the Bellicon's dvd that came with it, it's great!

I'd never heard of Active Link, so I googled it... It reminds me of a Fitbit One, and their tracking is free; they don't charge you a monthly fee. Then again, there's a fitness monitor from Basis, called Basis Peak, that is coming out in November 2014 that says in it's advertisements that it can track your activities, your…

I could only suggest trying a different exercise than just the treadmill? There are tons of exercise dvds available to borrow from the county libraries, that way you don't have to buy them right away. See which ones you enjoy the most, and then decide if you want to invest in a selection of various workout dvds to use at…

Just started my rotation this morning, when the alarm went off at 5AM this morning, I really, really didn't want to get up... but I knew that if I didn't, I wouldn't get my workout in this morning, and I'd already written it on my calendar. The fact that this is a commitment that I made to myself forced me to get out of…

I just got Body Beast too, it was delivered last night, my actual rotation starts this coming Monday, but I just did Build- Chest/Tris! Great workout, and I look forward to really getting into the routine! :smiley: I wonder if there's a group check in for Body Beast? I'd love to join one if there is :smile:

Based on great reviews, I had bought the Polar FT60, but just read about the Basis Peak. I am returning the Polar FT60 and pre-ordered Basis Peak! Besides all of the neat "bells and whistles", it also looks like I'd be able to replace the straps on it, something i don't think I could do on the FT60.

Thank you, on2016! :) I got myself a Polar FT60, and you're absolutely right, it really showed me i needed to engage more with the dynamic resistance! :)
