Just ordered my Charge HR after using my Flex for over a year. It should be in tomorrow. So excited! Looking for some friends. Please add me! https://www.fitbit.com/user/2RR2TL

Thanks! Didn't know there were groups like that on here. See you there too!

https://www.fitbit.com/user/2RR2TL is my link. Anyone and everyone is welcome to friend me! I use the fitbit Flex and my Aria scales are in the mail...

I definitely recommend getting a heart rate monitor that counts calories to get a more accurate count of how much your burn during your workouts. After I got mine, I noticed that I was actually burning more than what MFP says on some things, and much less on other things (the elliptical). Because with a good heart rate…

I tried Slim Fast for a while in the mornings. It never kept me full for more than two hours. Even though it claims to control hunger for up to 4 hours. I've started eating about 1/3 to 1/2 of my calories for the day in the morning, as my first meal. Then I'm not as hungry throughout the day. But in doing this, I have to…

Thanks everyone! I'm never giving up, just needed some input. The pounds have always come off when I'm not exercising (I lost 22 pounds before using MFP, with no exercise), and as soon as I started, the weight loss stopped. I will be taking my measurements again on October 3rd, so we will see what happens then. I've never…

I'm currently doing Slim in 6. I'm a beginner and it's low impact but still very challenging. I love it! And I'm now addicted. I also have Hip Hop Abs that I will probably start once I'm finished with my 6 weeks of Slim in 6. I'm currently in my third week doing Ramp it Up. I've had great results with it. Lost 8 pounds in…

Hi Liz! Sent you a friend request! The more friends you have on here, the more motivation you can get! Bev

I love my heart rate monitor. Gives a more accurate calorie burn count. Really comes in handy for me since I do my workouts at home from DVD's, and need an accurate calorie burn count. Do you go to the gym?

I just avoid the drama of the gym and do my workouts at home. I bought some really great DVD's that offer challenging workouts and I use my own resistance bands and weights at home. Plus it's easier on my wallet. Don't have to waste the gas, no travel time, and I can do it whenever I want. And I don't have to deal with…

Hi Jessica! I added you and hopefully I can be some support. It's so much fun to motivate each other that I even created my own Facebook Fit For Life Challenge Group. It's a secret group where everybody posts their progress, thoughts, ideas, success, recipes, whatever they want about fitness and nutrition. If you'd like to…

Thanks for all the suggestions! I know it's been a long time since I posted this, but I just now got around to getting back on track. I decided to go with the Slim in 6 for my primary workout. Started it 9/3/2012. A few weeks ago I tried the Hip Hop Abs, but found Shaun T to be a little too goofy for me. And the fact that…

I've learned that it's best to eat AFTER you workout. I've read that you should wait at least two hours after you eat before you workout. Food is fuel, and if you work out immediately after eating, you're just burning off the calories that you just ate, instead of the stored fat in your body.

It might be because you heart is getting stronger and not having to work as hard as it used to.

Great job! We're at about the same weight now and I can't wait to lose 25 pounds. You can really see a big difference! Keep it up!

Redneck here in TX! Trying to get back to my high school weight. I love four-wheeling, hunting, fishing, shooting. All that good stuff. And Duck Dynasty has got to be the best show ever made!

Okay. Good to know that you don't notice a difference. Maybe it's just my slow metabolism causing my rollercoaster weight issues.

Hello ladies! Nice to meet you! Message me anytime you need to vent or have advice and I will do the same. :flowerforyou:

That is a good way of looking at it. I have been using the weekends as my "cheat days". I guess I should quit that.
