I always go to www.consumersearch.com to find reviews on all kinds of things so you might try that. I personally have a weight watchers scale and it works great for me - I think I got it at target about 8 years ago. One recommendation I have is to be sure to get a scale that measures to the tenth because that tenth lost…

I have been off and on calories for about a week now, not tracking daily, and only doing ok on exercising. This challenge great for me because I am one of those "all or nothing" type. I will be keeping up with y'all and jumping right back in in the February challenge and have every intention on winning (only 28 days!)…

I'm headed to bed now but will pray for you and your mom before I fall asleep. I also live in a small Missouri town with only 2 restaurants. It does have drawbacks but the benefits are huge. Today, however, I am in Texas visiting with my dad who is in a nursing home paralyzed from the neck down. Although he can't talk or…

Wow, you have done great! Good for you. Keep it up to keep going down!

I feel for you, I know how hard it is because I have been there. I also had to give up drinking Coke and found what works for me as far as giving up caffeine...I slowly switched out my Coke for a non-caffeine type pop (7-up, Sprite or Orange, maybe even Dr. Pepper, I'm not sure about that one). I finally got off all pop by…

You have to figure out what will work best for you and as dumb as it sounds you have to figure out what you like BEST about pop. I know you like it because it tastes good but really think about why you like it. Do you like it for the fizz, the caffeine or the sugar. I never like to drink pop unless I am eating so I guess I…

Hello Caradae, Jagreene, and everyone. This is my 3rd attempt, I lasted 3 weeks in November but not hardly a week in December due to vacation. I have no reason at all to not win this January challenge. Plus, I just got 2 of my daughters into this with me so now I will have even better support. Between the 3 of us we have a…

I'm on vacation all week with really bad internet so will not be able to track. I plan on still staying under calories and exercising a LOT because it is beautiful weather here!

November 1st - water instead of pop! (by the way i found an easier (for me) way to give up pop...If you have a hard time switching from pop to water first start by eliminating caffeine pop for about a month (I still drank 7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist, Orange, etc..) then when you have that under control it seem to be easier…

December 1st Exercise - yes Calories - yes!!! Tracked - yes Let's do this!

Hi, I'm Julie. I lost close to 7 lbs in November! I started last month's November Ultimate Challenge knowing that for me, it wouldn't be TOO hard. All I had to do was track (no problem), stay under calories (not easy, but doable) and exercise ( I kinda like exercise and what's 20 minutes!!) I made it 25 days which I am…

I am bummed! I didn't track in the morning so ended up going over calories without a plan. I have done great this month and know that I can do it as long as I pre-plan. Good luck everyone, I'll see you in December.
