I have a Fitbit and really like it. This is my second one. I lost the first on a business trip! Grrrrr. I use it to log my steps and swim. It help me stay accountable. It is not a magic ticket to weight loss, but it helps me to keep moving. I do challenges with people and the competitive nature in me comes out,so I…

Congrats! You have achieved a tremendous goal!

Go get fitted for new shoes. I know it sounds crazy but I was having the same problem I finally went to a running store and got fitted with Brooks cloud 10. OMG the difference! I no longer hobble going up stairs after a run. My knees don't bother me. Makes ALL the difference in the world. I couldn't believe it. I am now…

Wow! Great job!

Vegetable pho! Low calorie and super yummy! I have to have every week. Now that it is getting cooler I will be having more often! I just add more vegetables and bean sprouts than noodles! Yummo!

[edited by mods] Add me I love to have challenges!

Stage III diagnosed dec 2004. Chemo, rads, surgery, herceptin and reconstruction! Doing great now. You can beat it! Was on arimidex for 10 years and an finally off it! No more joint pain but my metabolism is crap! Hence the weight gain! But coming down slowly!!

Everyone is doing great!!! Hang in there!

I have a fit bit flex. Fit bit has replaced it free of charge about 5 times. I have had one for three years. I just call them or email them, tell them what is wrong. They always give me a list of things to try...I do them, they don't work so they send me a new one. Their customer service is awesome! Contact them! They will…

You are amazing!!!!

I am in! I need this to motivate me!!

I have a Fitbit flex and Fitbit has replaced it for free numerous times. Just contact customer service and tell them your broke and tell them you bought it when you set up your account. They are great! Why pay for a new one?

One of my favorites is scrambled eggs on a big salad and put ketchup on as dressing. Yummmm. Sounds gross but one of my favorite things. Brings back memories of being a very broke college student. We didn't haven ramen noodles back then! Lol

You need to see a doctor. You really need to get checked out. This is not normal. It could be a food allergy, something to do with hypothyroidism or many different things. But I would see a doctor.

I second athleta! Also Zella which you can get at nordstroms or the rack. I am 5'10" and have found that these are the only stores I can find anything to fit. I won't go in lulumon. I went in once and the sales girl was very rude. She asked if I was shopping for a gift...as they don't have big sizes! Seriously! I am a size…

I will get there! Instead of focusing on weight loss I am focusing on strength and all the rest will fall into place. I am loving it! Thanks for your encouragement!

Thanks! I have always been a cardio bunny but I am really enjoying the weight lifting. I can really see such improvement. It is helping me with swimming too!

I wish this was true! Lol! I love asparagus! Too funny!

I swim a mike a night. At first ( started about 5 months ago) I could barely swim 1/2 mile. It gets easier although I always find the first 4 laps hard, until I get my rhythm going. To switch things up, I will freestyle up and breast stroke back. It is fun! I haven't lost a lot of weight but my strength has definitely…

Zella is one of my faves. Hit the Rack and you can get some good deals!

The most embarrassing thing I ever saw was at the gym on my last base. A was on the rowing machine and just rowing away but kinda watching people. This guy goes by me flexing his muscles and looking at himself in the mirror...and walked straight into a pole and almost knocked himself out. I just started laughing and…

I have been going to my work gym for years but mostly doing aerobic exercise and classes. They just started a new year new you program where I am learning about weight lifting and loving it. I was always a bit intimated by the weight room, would use the machines but didn't know proper form for free weights. Well I am…

Nice idea, but who's definition of limited perfume do you go by? [/quote] How about not marinating in it. If you leave the room and I can still smell you.....it is too much!

NOw THAT was funny!!!
