Thanks for all the replies. I have added all that requested. It is great to get ideas from others diaries so it would be great if you can share with friends.

@Lourdesong. Thanks I am new to Fitbit and didn't see anything telling me to set up my stride length. It was set to zero. Let me see if this helps. Thanks again!

I think I will order the fitbit charge hr. I have an old polar heart rate monitor but it is kind of big and needs the chest strap which I was hoping to avoid. Thanks for all the input.

Good luck to you on this journey! I have felt the same as you many times but you are right, WE just need to do this for ourselves. One thing I am doing different this time is logging everything.. even if I am WAY over calories. At least it keeps me honest. All the best to you.

At the time of going GF I was also on 6 months of Lyme antibiotics which had bad side effects so didn't notice any changes from GF.

I have been gluten free since June and I did not notice any difference. I am gluten-intolerant, hypothyroid/hashimotos, lyme.. The only difference I see is less heartburn.

Hi, I'm 5'1'', 146. Trying to get down to 120 (or less would be ideal). I am mostly sedentary and eat alot. I get started working out and then something happens and I start missing a day or two and before I know it several weeks have gone by without exercise. I really need some motivation. Feel free to add me.

Wow, I never realized that. I just tried it with my oatmeal and 1/2 cup was 46 grams not the 40 on the box. This is why I wish most items in the food list were by weight as well as cups. I too prefer to weigh. Especially with nuts, etc where it is difficult to get a TBSP
