After doing a lot of research I bought the Nordictrack C700. I tested it out at Sears but ordered from Nordic track. The choice you make is going to be dependent on how often and how hard you plan on using it. Look at Horsepower and weight limts. treadmilldoctor.com reviews are helpful to narrow down the best in each…

I was diagnosed with PCOS in February just a few weeks after I started my new healthier life style. My OBGYN (who also has PCOS) was a wellspring of info. I am on Metformin (I didn't have any major side effects, so I'm really lucky there) which I believe has really helped me. I have lost over 60 lbs this year. I too have a…

When using both Polar and fitbit in conjunction with each other, go to enter your HRM exercise burn, select the type of exercise, and as long as your fitbit is synced to MFP, it will request you put the "start time" for your exercise. This will then substitute your Polar activity for what Fitbit says you burned for that…

Texture is effected somewhat, the cookies end up a bit thinner. Flavor will change depending on what flavor protein powder you use. I've found that I can cut some of the sugar when subbing in protein powder, because it is sweetened. The Mocha Cappuccino gave the cookies a coffee and toffee-ish flavor that I really enjoyed.…

So yes, these cookies are 110 for 1/60th of the batch as stated above. However, just a few notes: #1 buy a small cookie scoop (like an ice cream scoop only smaller). Firstly, it makes scooping cookies so much easier, and secondly, all of your cookies will be the same size and therefore approximately the same calorie count.…

I love it, but for me its more of a dessert than a snack. I love blueberry.

I like Trader Joe's Classic (if there's one near you). I also like HyVee's original. I don't like Sabra or Athenos because I can taste the preservatives in them (they taste sour to me).

When I was around 280, I started HipHop Abs. I bought it on Amazon and it comes with 4 dvds, several different workouts; some with floor work some without, some longer and some shorter. I really enjoyed them. A lot of the moves have both high impact and lower impact versions, so you can do what works for your fitness level.

I had some major issues with my hip flexors cramping when I did the Avon Walk last month. I ended up with bruises because I was pressing my fingers and thumbs in the cramping muscles trying to relieve some of the tension. But then I also bruise very easily.

map my walk (map my run) - you can select your level of walk (hike, walk, dog walk, etc)

26 weeks, total loss 57 lbs, average of 2.19 a week.

I use my fitbit daily and my main form of exercise is walking/hiking. I also have PCOS with insulin resistance. I find that to lose any weight, I cannot eat all of the extra fitbit calories back. Whether that is because of the insulin resistance or from an overcalculation of fitbit calories burned, I do not know. My…

There's very little I DON'T weigh on my food scale. Sometimes I even weigh prepackaged foods to make sure they contain how much they say they contain. Cheese, vegetables, fruit, cottage cheese, snack crackers, nuts, peanut butter. I even weigh lettuce even though a little extra has very few calories.

One day this week, I got the message every time I went to add my morning snack. So I went back and added my morning snack to my lunch slot with no problem. I thought that was odd.

I had a Kindle Fire and now use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 for reading. However, I have used both Nook and Kindle software on my phone. My experience was that I could not share as many books on Nook as I could with Kindle. So if you plan on borrowing books from friends or sharing books with friends, I would go for the…

I agree with all the skinny cow suggestions, although recently I've started to catch a hint of preservative or chemical flavor in what I've eaten. I also like Edy's slow churned. I've also found that portion is everything. If there's one flavor that you just can't live with out, fit it into your macros, and just be sure to…

This...I want to eat this!

I bought my Flex on Saturday, so my knowledge is limited by just a couple days use. I have not used the UP nor did I research it, so I can't say anything about that. so far, I have found that the syncing with MFP works great for me, I keep getting added calories (just a couple hundred or so) which is motivating even though…

Amazon was preselling it with a shipping date of 4/15, but now its no longer available for preorder. So I'm assuming there's something holding it back. If you go to fitbit's blog on their website, they imply that they were still in testing back in February/March.

I was diagnosed 2 months ago. The awesome thing was that my gyno HAS it, so she was a wealth of knowledge. She prescribed Metformin and I go back for a follow up in June. I had already started watching my calorie intake and exercising before the diagnosis, but she suggested I watch my carb and sugar intake. Advised that a…
