Well, those are the apps I use. And you probably don't need all of them, just the ones you'll use. There are probably other apps out there too that'll do the same thing, just check the Watch app store. However, these are free and associated with MFP, so those are the ones I chose.

We leave for Disney World in 19 days. I'm down nearly 20 pounds, and hope to get down a few more before we get there. I want the lap bar to actually fit in my lap and not on my belly. Not to mention I don't want to put my daughters' safety at risk if they're riding with me and the lap bar won't go down far enough.

I have an Apple Watch, and synced it with all the MapMy apps (MapMyRun, MapMyBike, MapMyWalk, MapMyFitness). Which are all associated with MFP, FYI. That's how I keep track of ALL my exercises. Once synced, your Watch Activity Ring will update with what's put into those apps, and those will also be added to MFP. I have an…

I eat one cheat meal (buffalo wings, pizza, fast food burgers) a week, and that's usually on Friday. I track my food closely the entire week and on cheat day I keep my intake lower than normal (without starving) on my other meals. Then for my cheat meal, I don't worry about the calories, but I'll still track them as best…

I second the bike shorts! Also, take the recommendation of using your first ride to get a feel for the bike, gears, and riding technique. Biking is my favorite cardio, but I only average about 13mph on a 5 mile ride daily. However, I don't take too many breaks from peddling, even when I'm going downhill. I'll go to an…

After about a year with my AW, the sports band begin to smell. Nothing so bad that others could smell it, but if I put my nose to it, there was a stench. However, a good cleaning and it was gone.

I missed the Christmas tree rack putting the curl bar back on it. Luckily it missed my foot by inches, but made enough noise that everyone in the gym stopped talking and looked at me. I waved to them.

For breakfast, I like the McDonald's Egg McMuffin and their fruit and yogurt parfait. Pretty filling and only comes in at 440 calories.

That it takes a lot longer for your self-image to catch up to your actual image.

It's a great feeling isn't it? Congrats and keep it up!

I know how you feel. It just seems like you are giving up so much to get where you want to be. And in truth, you kind of are. But I would recommend rewarding yourself from time to time. Go to Chik-Fil-A and get a grilled chicken sandwich and a small fries. Work them into your calories. The next time you feel like…

1)It's nice to have clothes be comfortable again. 2)I enjoy mirrors again. 3)I'm not ashamed to have my shirt off.

Thanks everyone! I'm still wanting to lose about 30 more pounds but it was nice to win and to get the chance to buy the bike. Now I'm in a competition with myself. Hope it goes as well.

I would practice moderation when you can and make cuts where you can. If you know you are going out to dinner that night, eat a healthy breakfast and lunch. Try to take a walk if you can. On most people's vacations, there's a lot of moving around and doing things, so you'll be getting rid of calories that way too. 2-3…

Buffalo wings....just...buffalo wings. So, many flavors! So much sauce! So many calories....

I've noticed the MapMyWalk App and the others to be a little high on the calorie burn. I use this website a lot for my calories burned if I don't have my Heart-Rate Monitor on me: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc Also, if you get a HRM, you can go here:…

I wondered the same thing when I took my daughter swimming the other day. As much as I wanted to add it to my exercise report, I figured it would be difficult to try to figure out. However, if you wanted to add it to your exercise, I would say a calorie a minute wouldn't be unheard of. So if you did it for an hour, you…

My real motivation is my girls. I want to be alive to walk them down the aisle on their wedding days. Not going to lie though, the want to take my shirt off and not be embarrassed by a flabby stomach and man boobs is a good motivator as well.

There is tons of free (unhealthy) food at my workplace as well. The best thing I do is keep healthy snacks around and eat those when the urge hits me. Also, when there's the free food, I try to find someplace else to go when it shows up. The last thing resort is if just can't say no, I'll try to find the least unhealthiest…

I could use some friends for support and to give support. I've found that when I help someone who is having similar issues to me, it helps me work through my own problems. Live in Columbus, OH, originally from Huntington, WV 223lbs. Started at 240lbs looking to get to 180lbs. Husband to 1, father to 2 (girls, both under 2)…
