Great question - I work a desk job too and would like to know that answer.

Thanks for the input everyone! I am leaning toward the flex - I think I would wear the wristband much easier than the One. I am more concerned about getting an accurate TDEE estimation because I haven't had great success in losing and maybe I'm not accurate on my TDEE estimation. I don't really care that it doesn't track…

Bump - would really like to know this too. I thought that wearing it all the time I would not like - but after doing some research it seems that it works fine to wear all the time including in the shower, etc. What's everyone's take?

I bought the book some time back and have just had a hard time gettng started. Too be honest - I feel a little awkward at the gym since I really don't know what I'm doing yet. We have a small space here at work with some dumbells and I was thinking that I would start the program here and modify it to use dumbells. With my…

Yep I have major pms too after going off the pill. We'll I just started with a vengeance yesterday after 9 weeks of being late. I feel better though - I think I have lost 5 ponds immediately and my tummy is much flatter. So I know that not starting definitely has an effect on my weight.

I will be 50 next July and am now going on my 9th week of being late. I was on the pill for a long time and also decided that I needed to get off hormones and just go through naturally. I don't have too bad of night sweats, it goes in spurts but the bloatedness and weight gain is terrible. I think I have gained 10 pds…

How do you change it from gps? I looked in settings but I didn't see that option there?

Ok - thanks for the info! I can't wait to go running again now.

I would say to try upping your carbs - but limit your carb intake to real food carbs - like fruits, potatoes - no processed foods, like breads and sweets. If your worried about too much - try every other day upping your carbs to a more normal carb range. If your doing that much cardio - I think you need it. And no agree…

Trials bike - 200 gas gas. And we just got a Harley dyno low rider and I got my permit to learn to street ride.

Group is up and running! It is called "A 15-Week Valentine's Challenge".

Also if anyone is interested in using the Runkeeper app and the gym hero app to track - I love my Iphone with my gadgets to log my workouts - let me know and I am sure there is a way we can become friends on those apps too.

Wonderful! Feel freei to friend request me also. I will get the group up and running sometime this afternoon. Looking forward to doing this!

Great! I'll create a group and do the invites.

Awesome! I'll send you a friend request.

I find I get bored easily so I do better if I have short term goals. I used to be able to drop it pretty quickly when I set my mind to it. But this year has been a bust. I've already gone up since last year so I'm hoping by having a goal through the holidays I will not just keep going up and then struggling to lose it all…

Friend request sent :). I am also losing to tone and look fit by eating healthy and bumping up my workouts. My first little mini-goal is to lose 15 lbs by Valentines Day where my husband and I have a trip planned.

I do plan on enjoying my holidays. I just don't want to wait until one month before my Valentines trip to try to lose it all. I enjoy working out and hope that by staying on track over the holidays I can minimize any gain and hopefully lose a little.

Jay Robb! I use the whey protein powder. I buy mine off his website and have it delivered to my door.

I bought the book last year and barely got started before I got sick with the bad flu and then never got restarted. I think now is a good time to do this. Going to go in and figure out my calorie range. Anyone wanting friends to support - feel free to friend request me! I have about 25 - maybe 30 lbs to lose. But am more…

I think birth control is a good alternative. Its been around forever and very minimum side effects. It does seem to help a lot people with symptons. Good luck I hope you get some relief!

I'm at 167 or so (last I weighed anyway) and really struggling to get back to the 140 and ultimately 135. Losing a few pounds used to be so easy but for some reason losing this 20 lbs has been extra extra hard. Trying to find what works for me still. I log just about every day to stay accountable. I've been off on my…

Lexipro is used primarily for depression. It has been found to allieviate hot flashes and night sweats in low doses. And as my dr. explained to me it helps with the anxiety and mood swings that comes with meno pause too. Along with helping the anxiety and mood swings it helps with weight loss. Because the biggest reason…

Wow I would get a new gyn. Mine was very helpful and offered several different options. Explained a lot to me of how it all works. He didn't recommend any tests because he could see what he needed to know by my exam and talking with me. I wasn't in meno pause either but do still have the mood swings and ups and downs. He…

Its not a 17 day diet. They really misnamed this book as it lead everyone to believe it is 17 days of quick loss. Its actually based on 17 days of cycles and there are 4 cycles and the last cycle is eating all the food groups and putting your learning in the earlier cycles of eating everything in moderation. Your weight…

I have the book and would like to try it - why not -- going into the holidays may not be a bad idea to have a plan outlined. Is there a group for this plan? And people -- its not just 17 days of dieting -- its a way of eating healthier over a longer period of time and then taking you into a maintenance plan. Not much…

I bought the book a while back and just never started - I was just thinking maybe I would give it a go. I think there's an app for it on Iphone too.

I'm just getting back on track - just what I need. Please add me and send details :)

Feel free to add me too - 49 active and finding this weight a lot harder to get off than it used to be. I believe in feeding my body and eat but I don't believe that following the 1200 and eating back exercise calories when you work out will be detrimental to losing - in fact, I think as we get older its harder to lose…

I'm so glad I didn't stay on it for long. I thought it was weird my dr told me I could go off and on because I always heard the opposite. But I thought maybe because it was such a low dose. I think dr's are too quick to prescribe those types of meds and they don't think about the side effects it has on some people. I was…
