I notice Fitbit and apple watch count steps when I ride on a motorcycle or washing my hair. I believe the shaking of your wrist and the wind make it seem as though your are taking steps. Therefore, I do not even count my exercise calories, I just up my daily calories from what MyFitnessPal suggest.

I use measuring cups. I also use containers and snack size ziploc bags to put my food in. Since I do not eat my exercise calories, this helps if I over measure something, but I try to be accurate majority of the time.

This is my first year of menopause and I gained 18.5 pounds. I'm 52 years old. I could not control eating sweets. I was waking up through out the night with hot flashes and night sweats. I could not wear any of my summer clothes from last summer. I got so frustrated that I would not even get on the scale. Well one night I…

I understand, this is why I do not even go to the gym because I can never workout with some one trying to talk to me or leaving phone number on my car. So I just workout at home.

I'm 4 weeks in but I have lost 4.5 pounds. I do measure my food portion and I walk everyday between 30 - 60 minutes depends on how I feel that day, but at least 30 minutes a day. I do not eat my exercise calories. Are you losing inches? My first three weeks I only lost 2.1 pounds and this week was 2.4. Don't give up.…

Welcome. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hi, feel free to add me as a friend.

I notice that Fitbit can add steps even when your just waving you arm and not moving. There were times when I was riding on back of a motorcycles and my Fitbit was saying I took at lot of steps. So be caution what you count as additional calories for Fitbit. I normally do not eat my exercise calories. I up my daily…

I would like to join. I'm 52, I do not take any medication and want to keep it that way. I am trying to lose some weight. I am a vegetarian. I walk at least 40 minutes a day.

After watching a program on Netflix called "What is Health". I have not been able to eat meat, chicken, or fish, as I get sick thinking about what they were doing to the animals. Therefore, I'm trying to eat vegetarian, but worry about get full and eating right. I am also trying to lose weight. Could use some support and…

I would love to take the challenge, I leave for vacation in 9 weeks. Since I lost 30 pounds, I've been at a stand still maybe the challenge will help me shed the last 15 pounds.

Congrat! Well Done.

Your body weight is good enough to use ti get tone. I heard also doing yoga and pilates also helps to tone your body.

I wear my Fitbit flex band daily. http://www.fitbit.com/user/22KZ3X, this is my fit user ID, feel free to send me a request. Or anyone looking for more Fitbit friends

Great Job! Congratulation.:smile:

I have the five mile walk and the ultimate five day plan. I ordered them from her website and was able to download immediately to my Computer, IPad, and Iphone using the purple platform app. I really like them as I like to walk outside in the summer time. Since it is cold here now I use the videos to keep up with my…

I notice when I eat more sweet deserts like the 100 calories packs, I tend to not lose weight. When I focus on more healthier non process foods and increase exercise and water intake. I lose weight.

Buy yourself a Fitbit tracker, I wear the Fitbit flex wristband. I have a goal of taking 10,000 steps a day. It sync with my iPhone so I know how many steps I've taken and helps me to move more.

Awesome Story! Thanks for more motivation.

I am a walker, I use my Fifbit Flex wristband to make sure I get in 10,000 steps a day.

I have a Fitbit, I do 12,000 steps a day. I'll send you a friend add.

Your welcome to add me, I logged in everyday and have my diary open for view. I also do at least 12,000 steps a day with my Fitbit.

Your welcome to add me as a friend. I also do about 12,000 steps a day with my Fitbit Flex wristband.

You look great! Congrats!

I was feeling the same way a while back, but one day I was talking to a friend of mine and she said if you keep doing the same thing you get the same results, if you do some thing different you get different results. Something about that stucki in my head and the next day I decided to change my lifestyle. I been committed…

Three days a week I have two workouts. One at 5:45 and the second at 11:30 am.

I did not want to keep track of my food and activity at first, I started to just log my activity. Once I started doing that I decide might as well log my food. Now I'm use to doing it. It help me from eating too much. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm very active on most days because I broke two bones in my ankle back in Feb 2013. Since I have permanent plates and screws in the left leg I need to keep moving to keep from limping and becoming stiff. I was eating about 1200 calories a day, when I visted my doctor this weekend, they said I should increase my calories…

I do not log seasonings.

I'm a walker, every since I broke two bones in my ankle and due to plates and screws I have in my left leg now, I cannot run because I do not have full bending range in my ankle. So walking is my best exercise.
