  • I replace my chest strap annually and that has always worked for me. Usually about$15 from amazon. I recently ran across a few of my old straps and threw in the washing machine on hand wash cycle and the seem to work again.
  • This is a fun motivational tool. My husband and I and a few other family members have been wearing these since Christmas. It is a fun reminder to keep active.

Now I am not suggesting this is the only solution, but for me it has been the best decision I made for myself. I still have weight to lose but since my Tummy Tuck I…
