OP - When you track your walking, you are setting the time and duration, right? Just trying to make sure that your're not 'double counting' with your fitbit. If it doesn't know that you tracked that you burned 700 calories taking a walk (for example) it will count them as well, meaning you would have 1400 burned calories…

I weigh myself most days, but I only record 1x/week. Tuesday mornings. I don't stress about temporary ups and downs - I just like to note them mentally. Like if I was trending down all week, then had a big work dinner on Monday night and overdid it on sodium and/or wine and the scale is up on Tuesday morning, I don't…

That all depends on what you're looking for. I looked at the Flex, One and Zip. I ended up getting the (cheaper) Zip model. I didn't care about the sleep tracking or alarm - I think I sleep pretty well, and if it told me otherwise, I'd probably sleep worse stressing about it. :tongue: And I like waking up to music, so I…

I just got my FitBit 4 days ago, but I love it so far! One thing, for me, is that I turned on the 'allow negative' calories feature. Because I sync with my iPhone, I have no issues syncing on a regular basis. I don't love that it 'takes calories away from me,' but it gives me motivation to get up and walk around at work,…

Apparently not enough. (Go easy on me - it's still week 1!) I'm so used to doing weight watchers that I don't know where I should be. I know what my calories converted to (approximately) there, but from what I'm seeing, I need to be eating more. And I wasn't a regular exerciser then, and I am now (5 days on average. 0-1 on…

I love reading these! I'm still on week #1 of ditching WW and joining MFP, but I FEEL good. My June goals: 1. Track what I eat. Every bite. Every day. (even when it's ugly). 2. wear my FitBit everyday. Aim for 10k steps/day. 3. Workout at least 5x / week. Today is day 30 of an Insanity Challenge, with 33 days to go for me.…

Umm, not at MY natural waist. Or at least nobody should be wearing pants that high. :laugh: My 'natural waist' is a good 4" above my belly button. But I have a long torso - as in, I can't wear a 1-piece bathing suit because it won't cover all my 'parts' at once. Which is why pants sized by the waist size depress me. They…

This is so interesting to me - I'm also 5'6". I've tried about 4 different calculators I've seen recommended here. MFP has my calorie target at 1,410 (plus exercise calories). That seems really low to me as well, but I'm coming off of years of Weight Watchers, where I know my points calculated to about 1160 calories plus…

Perfect, thanks! I will look into those websites mentioned here. _____________________ I would imagine that when you are traveling, you could find a local gym with access to free weights. I stayed at a Holiday Inn not too long ago and got into a nearby Gold's Gym for free. Most gyms in larger cities have arrangements with…

It's a Fit Bit :) It's sort of like the WW ActiveLink that I was wearing - basically a pedometer. But it calculates your calorie burn throughout the day etc. Just an extra gadget! I bought mine at Target, but if you go to Amazon and search for fitbit you can learn more about it. It sync with MFP, so it will give me more…

I just added you. I'm on week 3 of a 60 day Insanity challenge. I've yet to make it through a warm-up without needing a break, but I sort of love it and hate it at the same time. :wink: I also ordered HHA and Rockin' Body and they just shipped today - so I haven't tried them yet, but I think I will enjoy the change of pace…

Awww, we're like our own little club! So glad to 'see' so many of you here on this journey as well. :) I'm also glad this didn't turn into a 'bashing WW' thread - I firmly, 100% know that it works. This just became a time for me personally where I had to try something new. What's the saying? "Insanity: doing the same thing…

Ha - glad to not be in this alone! :) And I LOVE Zumba! It's actually the reason I haven't cancelled my overpriced gym membership too. I might want to take a class. I haven't taken one in 2 months, and I'm working out at home, but you never know when the mood will strike. :wink:

:laugh: That will be on next week. Along with 3 vitamins you should take to help you breathe.

30+ pounds, and they haven't shrunk at all. I've been measured 3 times, including yesterday. I started in a 38D, and I'm now a 38D or 38DD. Seems crazy, but it's true! At my lowest adult weight I was 20 pounds less than now, and they were a cup size smaller, so we'll see! ETA: My shirt size has gone from an XXL/XL to a…
