I have the polar m400 and like it a lot. I have been swimming with it and it's waterproof. It counts things as active minutes it's a little different than how the Fitbit works, but it still counts steps as well. I do miss the fact that polar does not integrate with a lot of 3rd party apps, but the tracker is great very…

I had the fitbit ultra for almost 3 years and just switched to the polar m400. I loved my fitbit and it was weird to stop using it but I love my polar m400 more. Polar just released the m300 which is a more affordable version. It really depends what you want. Fitbit is nice but I like how the polar works as well. But I…

This is a good post. I would rather lose weight slower and enjoy a piece of cake then lose tons of weight and then backslide because I tried and failed to not eat foods I love and at times crave. There is nothing more depressing than being hungry and not being able to eat something that fills you up. I am learning what…

Every person needs to do what works best for them! If its eating back the exercise calories fine if not fine. I want to lose weight yes but at the same time I don't want to drive myself crazy either. I let the scale be the judge. If eating back my calories is causing me to not lose weight I adjust.

I third that!

Don't focus so much on the BMI! I think 178 after 321 is FANTASTIC!!! I am 215lbs and my goal is 175ish. Just saying.. Having the surgery you had complicates things because you only have so many calories that your stomach can handle per day. If you have stopped losing weight in the last 5 weeks maybe its just time to…

Awesome job! These posts make me smile and give me hope that I can do this once and for all and lose weight! Thanks for sharing. :)

Awesome!! Way to go. :)

Swimming!

My heaviest was 230. I am currently at 217 and hope to get down to 175-180.

This is why I invested in a fitbit. It logs my steps and takes in to account how active I am so if I am cleaning its counted and I don't have to try and figure out if I did enough to call it exercising. Personally I think if someone wants to count cleaning as exercise fine. Weight loss is personal and if they count…

I love reading these success stories helps keep me motivated! You look amazing. :D

I am only about 16 days in and I find logging my food keeps me accountable. I did not yesterdays until tonight because I had a banquet and let myself enjoy some desserts and I felt a little guilty. :p But I am already feeling the benefit of logging and exercising even thought the pounds are just starting to come off. I…

Amazing!!! Way to go!!

Congratulations!! You look amazing! Great to see this as I am just getting started!

This is interesting. I tend to skip breakfast a lot during the week and have always thought I was doing it wrong. Good to know that in the end it only matters to eat your calories not which meal. I like supper to be my biggest meal.
