  • I am one of those folks that gets way too obsessed with the number on the scale. If I see a small loss, I turn to bad habits like not eating well just to lose another pound, and another number of things that aren't good to do. I've made it a point to listen to my body, be diligent about my food tracking, and exercise as…

  • Hmm, thanks for that! I do like the Charge HR better than the Force already - it hasn't fallen off my wrist once ;) I'm hoping for more awesome replies too!

  • Hi! I'm a little older than you, but I was in your shoes (as a college student trying to be healthy!) not so long ago. Reading your message ... well, sounds like me! I've plateaued more times than I can count and even though I've started exercising and tracking, I've only lost (and then regained!) 1.5lbs. If you are still…
