Went down 1/2 size after 40+ pounds. Odd isn't it??

What diet are you on?

The Up3 is suppose to use similar technology as the BodyMedia since Jawbone bought that company. I'm really interested in that.

I've had both. The FitBit Force was awesome, but was recalled. So, I went with the JawBone Up 24. They are both similar on what they do. I prefer jawbone's app, but FitBit is fine. I know christmas is this month so I'd choose the FitBit Charge, but honestly I'd give a gift card or something and wait for either the ChargeHR…

I have had mine since April and haven't had any issues with it. I had the FitBit Force before, but it was recalled. I also really like Jawbone's app.

I actually like my Jawbone Up24, and I use my Garmin FR220 with HRM strap when I work out. I'm liking the new ones like the FitBit Charge and the Jawbone Up3, but can't really justify a new one at this point.

Just wanted to say good for you! I have no idea why, but cookies, cake, ice cream, candy, etc. sends me into a binge, but fruit doesn't. I am definitely going to try and give up the processed crap between now and Christmas. See how it goes.

I run; therefore I am a runner! No matter how fast (or slow) I go!!

Congrats on your success so far!!

I have the UP24 and like it. Honestly, I had the FitBit Force before it was recalled and I don't see much difference between the two. I'm interested in the 3 because it is suppose to incorporate the BodyMedia technology, but just can't justify buying it yet.

Do a search. There are some great posts already out there which will help you. Good luck!

Probably repeating here, but start out SLOW. Also, when I started I repeated the first few weeks still I got a solid foundation. No shame in repeating when necessary! Good luck!

I love mine! I am assuming you would use it with the chest strap. If so, you can turn the GPS off when you are at the gym to use it as a HRM. I wear it running, but also walking, hiking, and at home doing DVD's. To me it is the best of both worlds: a GPS and a HRM. Plus, I have the purple one and its cute!

Personally, I was very out of shape when I started so I ended up repeating weeks 1, 2, and 3 to get a good base. By week 4, though it was still a challenge, I didn't repeat and went to week 5 with no trouble. Then I fell, sprained my ankle, and am currently in a walking boot, but that is another story!! Good luck!!

I don't know if a "dash" of anything will show up. It would probably have a serving of cinnamon (say a teaspoon) and you could adjust that? Just a thought.

If you have Amazon Prime there is a step workout that I have streamed before. The outfits are totally 80's, they don't really speak (you just follow the motions), but I worked up a sweat and laughed at the same time!

Fun!! Good for you for trying something new!! :)

If you don't want to download an actual C25K app, you can still find a program online that will give you an idea of what to strive for each week. I just prefer the app, because the dude just tells me when to walk or run and I don't have to watch my phone or set interval timers, etc.

You look awesome!!! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for the laugh!! Good for you for staying with it!! One more win for Mr. Healthy!!

I started C25K a few times and stopped. This time, I repeated weeks 1-3 to give myself a good base. By week 4 I didn't feel the need to repeat. So, I guess I am echoing some other posters, but do not hesitate to repeat days or even weeks. Also, I cross train on the off days, with one day of 100% rest (unless you count…

Sprained ankles are awful! I am in the beginning stages of training for a 2015 half and my ankle is currenty 2.5x its size (low ankle). I am so depressed because it seems like the race is a long time away, but its not!! I will give you the same advice I am trying to heed. Let it heal or you will end up hurting for a lot…

I have tried a bunch and honestly they are all pretty much the same. Just pick one and stick with it, you'll see results!! Good luck!! :smile:

I am doing C25K, and the couch part was pretty literal for me. I started it a few times and stopped. This last time I decided to do the first few weeks two times before I moved up (i.e. it took me 6 weeks to do the programs first 3 weeks). Going slower seems to have made all of the difference. I am on W5 now and I didn't…

All I know is that this gave me a laugh today! So, sorry about the Doritos, but thanks!! :)

Google Scooby's calculator. You can input your age, weight, activity level, etc. It will tell you your TDEE based on your answers. Then you put that as your goal in MFP and do not eat back any exercise calories. I hope that answers most of your questions. I kinda skimmed! ;)

I am on W4D3. I am also doing C210K, but the first weeks are the same. I am running my first 5K on Thanksgiving Day and my first half May 2015. All runners are free to add me! I am not very good at running right now, but I love it!!

If I understand your question, you can go into MFP's settings and have your tracker not do a negative adjustment. I did that with my Jawbone. I usually hit my goal, but I still need to eat on the days I didn't.

I have a Garmin FR220 and love it. When I am the gym, I just turn the GPS off. I also wear the Jawbone Up24 24/7. I like that I can set alarms, it shows me sleep, and reminds me to keep moving. They also did an upgrade that the battery lasts two weeks. I used to have a FitBit Force, but they discontinued it. Between the…
