I don't understand all the complaints, either. A year ago I was trying to talk myself into spending more by going to another gym because of the PF comments like these, but I found some people complained about every other gym I considered. I joined PF for $99 flat for 1 year, and no one has ever bothered me in any way when…

I never want to see them again! Donated them and vowed to never go back to that size.

Great post! Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

I just received the package today from Fitbit for returning my Force. I didn't really want to return it, as it seemed to work great from the day I got it. Funny thing, though, the day I called to have the return kit sent to me, the battery started dying within 3 days as opposed to the 8-9 days it previously was giving me…

I'm an engineer and absolutely love technology...maybe!

I've read both ways, so recently I have started to split my breakfast into two eatings - probably 3/4 before (mix of Greek yogurt and various berry fruits), then the balance after. I have the same overall nutrition intake, but now I feel better both during my morning workout and after. I make up my breakfast muck the day…

I did the exact same thing when I started. The combination of the two, coupled with tracking your nutrition, will give you a great awareness of what you are doing. You can set up the Fitbit app to sync with MFP so they share the data. Mike

Good morning! One thing I might add is to read the labels of foods you are planning to purchase, or look up the nutrition guide for restaurants you go to. Once you start paying attention to the breakdowns (calories, cholesterol, protein, sodium, etc.) you might be amazed. MFP does a great job of giving you those…

If you can't wear anything on your wrist, you might consider getting the Fitbit One. The holder has a clip on it that you can use to hang on the inside of your pocket, or I am told many women will attach it to the center of their bra. I used the One for about 14-15 months and loved it! Functionally, I believe you get the…

Sorry, Jovette! Mine is http://www.fitbit.com/user/23N29M. Mike

Wow! Good thing you found out the root of the problem and got it fixed. Your road may be a bit longer as a result, but it is very do-able! Best of luck to you!

OK, I'll make the 52 yr olds feel better. I'm 58, but I've decided to start counting backwards! Enjoyed too much food and ignored my health for a long time. Now I'm in serious correction mode - about half way to my real goal (didn't put my final goal on here so I don't get depressed :wink: ). I'm always looking for people…

Hey there, Katherine! I'm a 58 y/o male trying to lose weight for a variety of reasons, and I understand your challenges. It is hard to keep on track long term. This is a great group of people that are very supportive. Some are just starting out, some like me are mid-way to our goals, and others have been successful and…

One can never have too many friends or too much support! I am also a Fitbit user. Feel free to add me, if you like.

Ah...the arrogant gym a-hole! Most people at the gym are really great, just like on here. But there are always a few that seem to have made a goal of turning their brains into muscle. I'm sorry to hear you ran into one. From what I see of you, you look fine, and losing 20 pounds would probably be way too much. The good…

Hey there. Jovette! I have several Fitbit products and like using them daily (and nightly!) Have had two One's (learned to keep the clip out and Fitbit in from that experience. Ha!), the Aria scale, and just got a Fitbit Force. As others have said, you might need to have the tracker on the "sensitive" sleep setting to get…

Awesome article. And so very true! Thank you for sharing it.

Just to echo what everyone else is saying, just block everyone else out and do your thing. don't start out trying to go to extremes - your muscles will rebel very quickly in the beginning, about 2 days after your over-do it. Remember, every single person in that gym had their first day at one time, and probably felt…

Oooo...that's more my style of wine. Good choice!

I haven't closed mine, but only log in about once a week or less to see the very few posts I am interested in (like if my children are planning to come visit me. Ha!). FB is like the newspaper. The good stuff doesn't get much attention. But post something about a chocolate covered sugar cube recipe...

I bought one with lots of buttons and found I use two - ON and TARE. I measure everything in grams, but any scale can work if you are consistent. I'd just go for an inexpensive, basic one from Walmart or Amazon. Just make sure it has the total capacity you expect to need.

I will often have nuts and dried fruits, as well as baby carrots to munch on during the day. The key for me was to weigh out a portion that fit into my diet and take that amount in a baggie. I found I would pace myself through the day based on what I had and I avoided the temptation to gobble the whole container! Frigo…

Super job! congrats!

Hey there! It seems like forever for me, so it definitely has/is involved eating, exercise, and lifestyle changes. The support you get from here is great, just don't be shy!
-
Just added you, as well. I definitely know how you feel!
-
OK, I'll go with that, too!

Hmmmm...assuming it was a female...black tie dinner!

Welcome, Pink! Support is what this is all about. We all have our challenges. Add me, if you like. Can always use more friends. Some days are a breeze, then others - we need the masses! All the best to you! Mike

Hey there, hdbellarosaco! (How do you pronounce that??). I have a Fitbit One, the Aria weigh-scale, and just today received a Fitbit Force. I love technology and utilizing it in my weight loss plan. Please feel free to add me, as I love having new friends, and especially enjoy chatting about optimizing our "toys." Al the…
