I could have written something "similar" to this about a year ago. While I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, I did wonder ... why am I not losing weight even though I am certain I am doing all the right things? I was going to the gym 3-4 times a week, I cut down on what I was eating but those scales and even the tape measure…

My weighing scales. Without them I'd be seriously overestimating. I rely on them far too much now.

Are you logging accurately? I mean, do you weigh everything you eat? I had the same problem - I thought I was eating under my goal and "logging" things but I wasn't weighing things - I was seriously overestimating. Once I started weighing everything, and I mean everything, the weight started to come off. It could also be…

I guess you have selected to lose 2lb a week. If you have, then I guess you'd just need to change it to 1.5, then 1 and so on the closer you get to your goal

I'm quite short (5ft 1") and am somewhat sedentary so you'd think that I wouldn't lose eating 1500 - but I've been eating between 1500 and 1600 calories a day and have been losing a steady 1lb a week for some time now. Before I started logging though, I "thought" I was eating those 1500-1600 a day without weighing, just…

Radiohead in 2000. Definitely an unforgettable experience.

First thing I'd do would be to change it into euros so I could actually spend it. Then I'd pay off all my debts, buy a nice house (not too big, I don't want to be cleaning a huge house!), nice car, pay my dad off so my mum can keep the house then put the rest away.

Thanks for the input. The trouble is the "phone" features won't benefit me at all as I have a blackberry and there is no Fitbit app for it (even though it can run android apps, the Fitbit one doesn't work - I did have a flex and it didn't work back then). I do have an ipad but I don't take that around wih me everywhere and…

I'm tired of being overweight. I'm tired of having clothes in my wardrobe that don't fit. I'm tired of going clothes shopping and having to buy clothes that look huge - I want to buy clothes for a size 10, not a size 16 (and most of the time the shops don't even have my size which makes it even more annoying - but there's…

Chocolate is my absolute weakpoint so someone suggested to me to get dark chocolate instead. I got some with a crazy amount of cocoa (like 85%) and while it's nice, it's so rich that I only break off one square and this is enough to satisfy that craving.

I've asked for this for my birthday. Doesn't come out here in Germany until the 1st May (birthday on the 6th May) and I can't wait. I had a flex but the strap kept breaking - hopefully this is more durable.

I have a FitBit https://www.fitbit.com/user/28S26P Just not using it at the moment because the strap broke and patiently waiting for a new one to arrive.

Mine works fine, but it's a bit slow syncing. I'm using an ipad 2nd gen.

I found it boring. Switched it off about 20 minutes in.

Weight can change daily. Things like water retention play a part in daily fluctuations. Stop weighing yourself every day or you'll drive yourself crazy.

I have both a FitBit and a polar FT4. Obviously I wear the fitbit throughout the day but it's not very accurate for workouts so I just remove it and use my HRM for calorie burn, then add it in. I also have it linked to myfitnesspal account so I know exactly what I'm doing and what I should be eating. I could easily live…

Your friend is an idiot.

Brit living in Germany.

My brother does this. He has lost a tonne of weight. The thing is he is still doing it. Now he looks awful. He looks ill. He is too scared to start eating again - he knows he will gain weight if he does. Plus it's an absolute rip off. He asked if I wanted to do it - no way I could afford that price tag.

I used to love playing this. I would love to do it again but alas I live in a 3rd floor flat. The neighbours have already complained about me doing jumping jacks -.-

I have a fitbit flex and to be honest it hasn't really helped me lose weight at all. It overestimates so much. I've come back to here and sticking to good 'ol calorie counting and using my HRM and the weight is dropping off. I've had my flex for about 4 months and nothing was happening weight loss wise. It does motivate me…

No. I was never hit as a child and I know right from wrong. It's not even legal here anyway, regardless of whether I thought it was okay or not.

I've tried it.I hated it. I'd rather eat food.

My ring was £100. Nothing special, but it was the one I was drawn to the most. It did unfortunately lose a stone so I had to get it repaired and then for it to lose that stone again! I took it back and wanted a different ring which was worth £80. I'd be too afraid to wear an expensive ring - I'd probably lose it or break…

I dyed my hair jet black and HATED it. It's taken years of growth to get it out without stripping it. Make sure it's something you really want, or try a wash in wash out colour first.

I got the Polar FT4 which is very good. I've lost it though so might have to buy a new one -.-

Originally from the UK but living in Germany now. I don't really know where to call home :-/

A VW Golf. I know it's a very simple car and nothing special about it but I've wanted one for 12 years and I finally got one.

I've found recently that about 90% of things which have been added in the past have all the wrong values. Perhaps it's all different values with things changing all the time - bigger portions getting smaller and stuff. I don't see how people can enter the incorrect information unless something has actually changed with the…

I have an Asus Transformer with the keyboard dock. Sod apple and their overpriced tosh.
