I can attest from personal experience that wearing the fitbit in the shower daily will cause the band to disintegrate at the joint where the rubber meets the digital screen -- not so much of a problem with the flex but it certainly is with the recent models where the band is not removable. I guess by wearing it 24/7, I…

Thank you -- that is very helpful!

Wearing my fitbit everyday and setting a low activity level on MyFitnessPal so that it is easy to earn extra calories by walking more or working out

anyone else?

Hi -- I am 5'1" with a "curvy" build regardless of what I weigh (ie large breasts and hips) My "normal" weight that I could maintain very easily until I reached age 40 was 120-125 pounds. I looked the best at 110-115 pounds, but I could never maintain that weight for very long without going to extreme measures. I look "ok"…

thx -- don't worry -- I don't normally use 2 tablespoons! just a bad example, But I think I do probably normally use close to 1 tablespoon (I don't always measure it)- which even that amount I should cut back on. Apparently I am in severe denial about olive oil, since I even underestimated the calories per tablespoon in my…

2 whole grain waffles w/ 1 tablespoon peanut butter and 1/2 cup grapefruit juice. 300 calories.

I actually think that allowing yourself treats that fit within your calorie limit is, at least for me, essential to actually being able to stick with it long enough to meet your weight goals. For me, cutting out entire foods (sugar, white flour) only makes me feel deprived and become obsessed with the thought of eating…

I got mine from a Best Buy store this morning. I have never used a Fitbit before so I have no frame of reference, but so far I am LOVING it

. . . and, I am now the proud owner of a Fitbit Flex in black, purchased from my local Best Buy :) I can't wait to use it!!!

The ship date for pre-orders was recently changed from May 1 to May 17 on Amazon -- and the release date is listed on brookstone as May 22. They seem to keep delaying it, so hard to say

wow that is really remarkable!

Hi -- I am 5'1 and started out at 143 and am down to 130 after about 90 days. I'd like to lose another 5 or 10 pounds. I have a 4 year old. you can friend me

I might be available that day and would love to help

even if you are eating healthy foods, if you are eating too many calories, you will not lose weight.

First, I agree that you should definitely go to the Scooby website and figure out your TDEE. 1200 calories is not sustaianble, and even WW allows the points equivalent of something like 1400-1600 per day. Second, I have paid for WW online twice, only to discover each time that their database of foods contains almost…

1560. For the first week it was 1300 but I was so hungry I literally could not sleep. And I dont eat the extra calories on days I exercise.

Anyone can add me too. Thank god for EMTWL -- have no idea whether it works but at least I am not starving anymore!

Yes, I am 43. Feel free to friend me :)

I'm 5"1' and 43 years old. Before I had my daughter 4 years ago I weighed less than 125 my entire adult life. I gained a normal amount of weight during pregnancy, but developed hypothryoidism afterwards and have had a really hard time dropping from the high 130s, low 140s. My goal is to get back to 125. Feel free to add me…

pretty smart solution. I wish MFP would just allow this functionality; it is actually the only thing I dont like about MFP as compared to other online calorie trackers.

Love all of these ideas. I sometimes just squeeze lemon juice onto my salads.

A few other thoughts: 1) Different gyms have different vibes, so you need to find one that feels right for you. Maybe just visit a few gyms for a tour just to familiarize yourself with the different options. 2) Is there an all female gym like curves in your area? That might be less intimidating for you. 3) You can…
