I would think that the calories you burn from just walking throughout the day should be left alone. I don't even count those. I wear a pedometer to count steps...but those calories are just part of life. I try to avoid my exercise calories in general but have eaten some of them back at times.

Sending a request! I'm in the same boat...trying to re-lose weight! I can use all of the help I can get!!!

I think some of us are destined to watch the scale. If I take a break from the scale I lose focus and am not as diligent with my weighing and measuring. I think my scale is going to be with me all of the way to the grave.

I can always use new friends to help with motivation! I lost just over 100 pounds and then plateaued and it's creeping back on and I need to get rid of it once and for all. I have just reset my ticker so I start from scratch instead of focusing on the past. I have 46 days until my first Half Marathon and I need to get…

He looks kind of exhausted! I think you expect him to do too much around the house. Maybe he needs a massage or some catnip?

I have a Garmin Forerunner which is a watch with chest strap. I've actually had it for a couple of years now and don't have any issues with it. I love that it's rechargeable so I don't have to worry about batteries!

It's almost like I wrote this post! Thanks! LOL I'm with you! Sometimes I buy things that are "younger" looking and colorful but if they're cute and they fit and look good...who cares?! I shopped in Plus Size stores since the 8th grade...so there were no cute clothes for me then. I'm showing off the body I've worked for!

If she doesn't post it publicly to show all of her friends that she has the best husband ever...then it doesn't mean a thing!

As much as I hate to say it...I think you've been watching a little too much Criminal Minds! LOL PS - I avoid looking over!

Congratulations! How exciting! I love the name Operation Fit Bride! LOL Have you set a date yet?

Yes. I've done a 5K with one and will be doing a half marathon in October with another. Can't wait!

I see plenty of people at the gym that are just going at such a leisurely pace and they don't break a sweat...whether it's the treadmill or the elliptical. That's fine if that's what they're there for...but if I'm not pushing myself and sweating and getting the point of exhaustion...then I don't really feel like the visit…

Is this an alternate option to the hysterectomy???

How do you like the VivoFit? I am thinking of getting one. I have a Garmin HRM and I know the chest strap should work with it. I just don't know if it will do much more than count my steps which I have a pedometer for. Just wondering if it's worth it and what other things it does.

Have a Snickers!!!
