Santa always left in the stocking (and the tradition is continuing with my children): toothbrushes hair accessories a few pairs of undies a pair or two of stretchy mittens (the cheap kind that get lost but are great for the playground) chapstick nail files miniflashlights a few clementines tic tacs hard candies in a neat…

I use both. I do WW because I like the group nearest my house and find the leader to be truly interested in helping participants lose and make the program work for them. I did WW for a year, lost 50 pounds, became a lifetime member and then stopped tracking and measuring my food and gained it back and then some! I don't…

I've seen a healthy range for a 5'2" woman to be 109 - 137 pounds. I know that's a HUGE range, but so much of it is dependent on body type/frame. I'm 5'2" and I'm aiming for 115, although 120-125 may be more reasonable at 35 and having had two children.

The current WW plan looks at macros rather than at calories in terms of calculating points. To calculate points you need the fat, carbs, fiber and protein in a food. Everyone gets a particular target number of points per day, 49 "bonus" points per week and then you earn additional points based on your physical activity. I…

I use them as a meal replacement. I count the calories (and the points, because I'm simultaneously using the Weight Watchers plan). I totally get that I could be eating real food for the same calorie/point cost, but this works for me in my daily schedule. It's very easy for me to make a shake first thing in the morning and…

Actually, unless they are routinely calibrating it, there's no guarantee that a high tech one is anymore accurate than a low tech one.

My belief is that it honestly doesn't matter as long as you are consistent with when you do it. The human body's weigh fluctuates throughout the day (our height does too - usually we're a little taller in the morning than at the end of the day!). If you always weigh yourself in the late afternoon, then that is going to…

I'm 35, had mine done in March because of recurrent strep too - for about a year prior I had a sore throat every single day. I won't lie - it was really awful. I had mine done on a Friday afternoon. The first weekend was fine, some pain and discomfort but manageable. Around the 3rd day post surgery I felt like I had been…

I have about 50 pounds to lose to give you frame of reference and started using the TurboFire program back in late August. I did the TurboFire prep schedule and started the full schedule last week wearing a heart monitor for every work out. In the Fire 45 workouts combined with the stretch 10 workouts I tend to burn about…

Feel free to add me. 35, two children ages 4 and 6. Full time outside of the home job. Exercise at random and bizarre hours of the day because that's the only way it get done (ex. - spinning class last night at 5:30 pm but in order to get it in today I got up at 4:45 am!). I've lost 15 lbs already and have about 50 more to…

I'm doing both WW points plus (meetings AND online) and tracking here. I've found that very generally, I'm around 1,200 calories on days when I eat my 26 points (plus two servings of fruit that comes to about 100-200 calories but zero points). I tend to think of my exercise calories like my weekly points (and on WW, I…

35 here! And while I weigh a heck of a lot more than I did when I was 18, thanks to paying attention to my nutrition, regular turbofire and yoga workouts, I can run farther than I did back then. Biggest difference is that my knees hurt more now :-)
