Glad it isn't just me. I've been having this issue since last night. Only way I can force a sync is to disconnect and reconnect the apps - every, single, time I want to sync. Annoying as hell. And the status page reports everything is working fine. Uh huh. http://status.underarmor.com

I got a Fitbit Blaze for my birthday not long ago, and it has been great for me. However, I'm a little OCD. I've used MyFitnessPal every single day for 375 days, logged every single meal and activity, and lost 55 pounds. I actually look at the reports and pay attention to macros. I hooked the Blaze up to MFP, and I…

I have found the same thing, and you're right, it is really annoying. I swam and lifted Saturday. Sunday and Monday I was 1.5-2 pounds heavier. This morning I was .4 pounds lighter than I was Saturday. I stayed to my calorie budget. I know in my head the number on the scale isn't the most important thing, but I check it in…

My best friend gave me some advice years ago... if there is something you really want, go ahead and have it. If you don't, you're going to have a bunch of other stuff trying to avoid it, then eventually have what you wanted in the first place anyway. Then you're in worse shape than if you'd just had what you wanted first.…

I miss cheese calzones from Fellini's Pizza. I go there, but even if I have the calories for it from exercise, I can't make myself get it. It is just so much bread and cheese, and not enough protein for the calories. Dammit. I figure I'll get one again eventually, but don't know when.

My husband went gluten-lite, started running, and suddenly looked like I'd thrown him in the dryer and forgotten to take him out. He went from an extra-large to a medium, and he looks and feels terrific. I've had a weight problem my whole life, and while he loves me no matter what, I wanted to look and feel better for him.…

I find that I am my own biggest obstacle really. OP, you are right that peers, co-workers, etc., can be distractions, annoyances and provide temptations and such, but I have to make and be responsible for my own choices. Please know I am not criticizing you in the least, and I see your point. I choose to look at it from a…

I have observed in myself and my friends that for some folks NNS (non-nutritive sweetener) triggers the desire for more sweets, and in other friends it does not. Still for others, it tastes too sweet, so they avoid it entirely. One of my friends drinks a lot of Diet Coke daily, and has lost weight. NNSs impact on the…

One watchout... at least this is important for me. I have read in a few articles it is important for women to eat at least between 1000-1200 calories per day to avoid "starvation mode". My daily goal is currently 1400, and most days I don't quite make that. However, I have figured out that I have to at least eat between…

I also have used this app a couple of times to lose weight. I have learned it works for me as long as I use it. :) I am significantly heavier than you, but the principles are still the same. Here is what I have learned works for me, and many others I know: - If you are at 1200 calories a day, and you are not eating back…

To answer the question you asked, yes. Now let me explain. They are good as a once a day "snack", in that they taste good and are filling so I don't feel hungry anymore until the next meal. When I've used them, I count the calories and macros as I would any other food. I've used this to replace one snack a day, and it…

I swim at least two (try for 3) days a week, but I'm looking for something I can do at home if I can't get to the gym pool. I've lost about 40 lbs, but have another 40-60 to go. A male friend does DDP Yoga and recommended this. I have fibromyalgia and back problems, but I've done well with swimming and very beginning yoga.…

You were pretty to begin with, but starting in March, 2013, you look stunning. Congratulations on your accomplishment!

Thank you for these...I'm going to check them out next time I do yoga!

Hi! I have Fibromyalgia and a couple of compressed discs in my back and neck. The best thing in the world for me has been swimming. No impact, and I can do a lot of things in the water I could never do in "normal gravity". I started out just moving back and forth across the pool, and now I do backstroke, crawl and breast…

I, um...semi-poo? I use Wen mostly. I love it, and buying the gallon jug makes it less painful on the pocketbook in the long term. However, I also swim. On swim days I use a sulfate free, natural "normalizing" shampoo. It doesn't lather much...I just run it through my hair with my fingers, then rinse. Then I use half of…

In the long run, I found it made sense to just buy the Wen in the gallon jug. I refill smaller bottles for the gym and for the home shower. I guess it helps that I use a clarifying shampoo and a deep conditioner once in a blue moon. Historically, my hair likes variety. :) So to the OP, I wonder if your hair would get back…

I use Wen. I swim 2-4 times a week, and I've found my hair is healthiest when I actually use this product. When I don't swim, I use the Wen alone to clean my hair, as a leave-in conditioner, and then I use a drop of the styling creme. When I swim I use a sulfate-free swim shampoo first...it does not suds up and I just run…

My StepKid is almost 10. He has put on a lot of weight between age 5 and now. My inclination is that at 10 years old, "dieting" is not the right thing to do. We eat pretty healthily in this house, and we don't keep things like soda and chips around. We only have him 3-5 days a week depending on what's going on that week,…

There is Vitamin Water Zero is sugar free and really good.

Don't rush! I married at 28 to the wrong guy because I thought I was supposed to...it was the next logical step after dating two years, right? Well, no...he really wasn't right for me, and we divorced a few years later. I met Mr. Right when I was 39, and married him at 40. I have an awesome StepKid. I'm 43 now, and…

That is a major, major accomplishment! I hope I do as well as you if faced with a similar situation, or even half as well. I'm sorry for the situation, but you should be very proud you didn't fall into an overeating trap as a result.

Someone else posted the Healthy Life bread, and I second that. When I can't find it, I use the Sara Lee 45 calorie.

I keep mine closed because I find I'm completely honest that way. There is no downside to me logging absolutely everything. When I had my journal open, I found myself not wanting to log fully to avoid criticism, etc. This way, I'm accountable to myself, and if I mess up, I know it. I realize that other people need to be…

I'm a rock and roll musician, and I have been singing lead and playing keys in bands since I was 14. (yep, 29 years and counting) Found the love of my life at 38. It was totally worth the wait! I love to read. I carry my phone everywhere, which has the Kindle app, and I read at every available opportunity. I have five…

Here goes... Started 8/17/2012 at 266.7. I don't have a pic from that date, but here's me 19 pounds down on 10/9/12: original 100912 Beginning of this year, I was around 236 on 1/7/13: Today, I'm 226.6: Sorry for the blurriness...I'm not good at self-pic-ing. :) I'm trying to get down to around 215 for this challenge.…

I had a glass of Pinot Grigio. :) Yum.

My net goal has been 1610 since the beginning of this year. I've lost about 14 pounds in that time, and I'm okay with that. I haven't been perfect -- I had bronchitis for a while which slowed me down, and I kind of fell of the wagon. Multiple folks advised me to up my intake from 1200 to restart loss after a plateau, and…

This morning showed a weight loss of 2 lbs since the day before yesterday. Would be nice if that were accurate, but I'm going to see if it stays around the same for the next couple of days. It is discouraging with all the up and down, but I'm not going to let it completely derail me. :) Thank you for posting...helps with…

I'm going to guess you mean "pastries"? Although I bet there are edible pasties... ;)
