  • [/quote] Same here. Not a single step while driving. And definitely call Fitbit. They have a ridiculously awesome customer service reputation. I've heard many stories of them sending out replacements for washed fitbits, lost fitbits, slightly wiggy fitbits, etc. [/quote] I was actually going to post this when I finished…
  • Just sent you the request! I'm 5'2 (on a tall day) and currently 150.6 :( I'm aiming for 115/120 for a comfortable range and someday I'll get there. But it's going to take a while. I'm lazy (hate exercise) and love food. Just not the best combination.
  • Down 2.6lbs! Doubt it'll look that good two weeks in a row but one can always hope right?
  • While I don't really run in them (yet) I have been using primarily minimalist shoes for over a year. About two years ago I bought a pair of Vibrams Five-Finger shoes - didn't wear them much because it turns out I bought them too small and didn't understand how they should fit. I moved onto Saucony's version without…
  • If it's not too late, I'd like to be in too! SW: 153.2 CW: 153.2 GW For the month of May: 149 UGW: 115 Weight on May 1st: 153.2 Check in dates: May 1st: 153.2 May 8th: May 15th: May 22th: May 29th:
  • Added! And thanks, 'cause I could use some support too. I'm back after a while away and not doing so hot. Keep forgetting that motivation part :(
  • Wow! Congratulations, that's a clear difference!
  • I could have written this post myself. I've done 0 tracking and next to no activity. It happens every time I go to my Dad's. Worse, I picked up my coke habit again :( (the drink, not the drug!) I have drunk almost as many calories as I've eaten, I'm sure of it. But, there's no way to fix yesterday, we just have to move…
  • Ack - last minute emergency trip out of town means I missed weigh in and I don't have a scale! I'll weigh in as soon as I get home on Friday morning and again the following Monday. Good job keeping up everyone!
  • Woohoo! Turns out my numbers for yesterday were inflated due to TOM! Now I'm really looking forward to next week. I knew I hadn't done that badly :) Thanks for the inspiration!
  • Starting weight: 146lbs Hips: 41 Waist: 35 Thighs: 24 Arms: 11.5 Chest: 35 Goal weight at finish: 143lbs February 11, 2013 Current weight: 148 Hips: 41 Waist: 34.5 (down 0.5") Thighs: 23.75 (down 0.25") Arms: 11.5 Chest: 35 Not my best few days, but I'll take the loss of 3/4 of an inch. Hopefully the trainer will kick my…
  • GREAT JOB! I'm weighing shortly then off to school to meet with a trainer and hopefully get some awesome results like yours :)
  • Is everyone ready to weigh in tomorrow?
  • Thanks! I did really well yesterday but today will suck. I'm in Toronto so we're stuck inside with almost 2ft of snow piling up :O So of course I made chocolate chip cookies and we're ordering chinese since there's nothing in the pantry.
  • Oh, and check out these groups: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/3834-eat-more-to-weigh-less http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1307-fitbit-users
  • Well, the calorie burn seems ok to me. I'm 5'2" and currently about 146lbs. I'm probably somewhere between lightly and moderately active in my own estimation, but I do go to school on a pretty spread out campus and work retail. My FitBit over the last 30 days has tracked me at an average burn of 1960cal. To get it as…
  • So, just to confirm: Your FitBit TDEE (average burn per day) is 1635 right? Your calculated TDEE is 2110 Your calculated BMR is 1535 So, 2110 - 20% is about 1688 Either your FitBit TDEE is way underestimating, you're way overestimating in the calculations or you haven't tracked your other exercises within the FitBit…
  • Well, I'm pretty new to it as well, but heres what seems to have mostly solved the problem for me. 1. Go to Settings --> Update Your Diet Profile --> set it to your true goals and Very Active, maintain current weight 2. Go back into Settings --> Goals (in the blue bar) and overwrite the calories to your calculated TDEE.…
  • My brother started using protein powders a while ago and I've tried the ones he brought in. They all tasted like chemical crap to me. I was unhappy because I'm horrible for hitting my protein macros. So I went on the hunt. I decided that my major issue was the chemical flavour, not the texture (we blend into fruit…
  • Today was a mild failure. Still under TDEE for the day, but over my usual allotment. My goal for the week is to keep my eating at or just under my goal of 1575 cals. I'm also meeting with a trainer at school on Monday, so that oughta scare the crap out of me! And hopefully kick my butt in gear physically.
  • Thanks hey bales - I'll keep an eye on everything and see what happens to the numbers.
  • Starting weight: 146lbs Hips: 41 Waist: 35 Thighs: 24 Arms: 11.5 Chest: 35 Goal weight at finish: 143lbs
  • Thanks everyone! Glad to hear I sound relatively normal :P I am meeting with a trainer at the school gym on Monday for an assessment which I suspect (fear) will include the calipers. So, hopefully that will give me a more accurate idea of my body fat. For now, I'll just keep using the average of the two from the…
  • I'm in too! I'll post tomorrow morning before I go to class.
  • I LOVE this!!! Now to print it off and hang it on the ceiling over my bed :D
  • I have been reading about the road map for about a week now and have decided to start it this week. I have downloaded heybales' calculator and I just wanted to check on two things if someone wouldn't mind helping. I have a fitbit and according to it, I have burned an average of 1969 calories since I started using it. But,…
