  • I don't swim yet, but the aquatic center near me is having a free join up day next month and I am getting ready to join. I bought a silicone cap today. I had previously bought one for my granddaughter and it kept her hair mostly dry. Had you tried that? I expect to be the worst swimmer at the aquatic center, will my…

  • I'm glad to see this challenge. I have been slacking recently. 05/25-06/07=124,154 which sounds ok. However, that's only an average of about 8868 per day. 4 bad days out of 14 can really cost you! My job is a sitting at computer job. I do a lot of that in my home time too. I have to be really mindful of the need to get my…

  • Girls, I am already "big" and "bulky" and haven't lifted a weight in months! It's called "FAT" lol. For the person who said that puny 10# weights won't cut it. Oops, I have trouble hitting all my reps with 8# weights. Surely, you wouldn't advise me to quit and never try, would you? I'll start with ;my 8# then go to 10# (I…

  • You will be surprised what you can do once you start doing something. Once you start syncing that fitbit and see what you've done today you will want to do a little better tomorrow. The only person judging your success is you. I have learned that as badly as I want to be number one in my fitbit group or among my fitbit…

I don't know if the one is still successful as I have moved away from that city. One of the unsuccessful patients told me that she figured out ways to eat what she wanted. She called it grazing - by…

  • I am not a success story by any means, but I continue on. I wish you well. The one activity they do on the Biggest Loser on day 1 that they do on the last day at the ranch is walking. Walking is my best friend. I do other things as well, but I plan to average at least 5 miles per day every day. I am not yet 60, but realize…

  • I do feel your pain. I believe there is a way out. I used to have cable TV and on Saturday nights I religiously watched Suze Orman on CNBC. Her theory is that weight gain and debt go hand in hand. I think she is on ITunes, but I have trouble with anything Apple so have never successfully watched a podcast since I cut off…

  • I am cheering for you. C25K taught me the importance of well-fitting shoes that suit your gait. They will not be the cheapest shoes you've ever bought, but if you start without good shoes you will have problems of one kind or another and will go buy the good ones anyway. I also vote for running on grass if you can find a…

  • An important thing to give a lot of thought to: if you feel he's not supportive is he the person you want for a life partner? Will he be supportive if you lose your job? Will he be supportive in the delivery room when you give birth? Is he just playfully teasing you or is he serious? Please carefully consider if this man…

  • I don't exactly fit the category, but I can relate. I am almost 60 and almost 200, however in the past I was well over 200. I read something today that really hit home. I am an abstainer, not a moderator. In other words, I can completely stop eating certain foods and I do well (weight loss wise) with calorie deprivation.…

  • I have been happier since I bought the FitBit One. There are lots of different tracking devices. Here's why I like the FiBbit One: it tracks my steps, my miles, my sleep time, my estimated calorie burn and puts all my stats into cool pie charts and bar graphs. It provides my ranking of steps in my group of online friends.…
