  • I average about 7, but I really try to get 7 1/2-8. It makes a huge difference on my mood and energy levels. I also tend to feel more like eating "just because" when I haven't gotten enough sleep. I can distinguish it from actual hunger because I can't pinpoint anything I really want to eat, just something sugary, and then…
  • I wear mine on my left arm, and I noticed that I was getting a lot more steps in a set period than I actually took. Apparently I do a lot more with my left hand than I had thought. I went into my settings and adjusted it to "dominant" which is less sensitive so it doesn't count some of the extra non-step movements. This…
  • I had an Ultra for about 4 years, and it finally kicked it about 3 weeks ago so I upgraded to the Charge HR. My husband is getting one too. I love mine! My activity level has gone way up since getting it (not sure why I'm more motivated than I was with the Ultra - maybe because it's more visible and easier to use). Also,…
  • For me it depends on what kind of activities I'm doing. When I'm getting my steps/calorie burn primarily by walking, I don't make up the entire deficit.

  • I just moved to Winston-Salem, NC. My family lives in Greenville, SC, and I had lived there and the Central/Clemson for 7 years!
  • My husband and I just started Week 1 Alpha on Sunday. He is in better shape than I am so he tries to keep up with the workout. I follow the modified version so it's lower impact and try to pick up to the regular workout whenever I can. We work out in the evenings, and I really like that it's only 25 min so even if I'm beat…
  • Hi!, I'm going to join you all (we're only almost halfway through the month :) ). I got a Fitbit last week and I love it - it has definitely helped me to increase my steps every day. June 8 - 9204 June 9 - 11848 June 10 - 15370 June 11 - 11946 June 12 - 15318 Daily Goal: 10000 steps I also second the recommendation for the…
  • I can see a difference. You look happier too :) Keep up the great work!
  • I just ordered this last week and should have it in a few days. I'm really looking forward to starting it. I hadn't done Insanity or P90X, but after comparing the two, this one looked like I'd enjoy it more (and stay with it).
