You didn't get here over night and it won't go away over night so never give up, you can do it and you are in charge and responsible for your choices!

I think it is a great starter. I am keeping it at this point and adding the gym ... not ready for more equipment space in the house (though if I knew what I know now I might have kept the recumbent bike and eliptical (or traded it for something more appropriate for my level of ability) For anyone who is now just 'getting…

While losing it fast would be emotionally wonderful I suspect that losing it at a slower pace helps you find a healthy lifestyle and steady downward trend with the scale. It might not feel like 'much of a workout' it is one of those things that if you keep doing it it does count. The majority of my weight loss came from…

Guess you're lucky you got yours! Having ordered mine direct from Fitbit instead of a retail site which is why I didn't get it. :(

Well, it seems to me you spent good money to see your psychologist and trusted him to get you through a very hard time in your life. Now you are dealing with another issue and since he knows you fairly well may be privy to what triggers you have and why you have them. How important is it really in the big picture of your…

I wanted one for about 4 months, finally got around to ordering it a month ago ... I'm not sure I want to wait till they resolve the issue. Probably will look for another option . . . :(
-
I had put my order in the end of January and was told it would ship in 2 weeks. Two weeks went by and receive another letter that it was on hold ... then I got the letter today that they would not be filling the order with apologies and offered 20% off on other product. STILL sad, :(

Here is the post from Fitbit's CEO http://www.fitbit.com/forcesupport With 1% of the buyers having some issue with contact dermatitis from either nickle in the contact or from the band, :( I'd be happy to have it either way . . . alas I'll have to find a different product, I'm checking into other product/mfg companies for…

Yeah, damnit I know that gender does comes into this - male metabolism kicks it way better than female AND your age is also in your favor - at 19 should be able to knock that out with dedication. However if it is just for 'six months from now' as a goal without long term lifestyle change one could find themselves doing the…

Well, I just received notice that I will not be getting my Fitbit Force. They have decided to do some more work on it and will be offering full price refunds for those who have it .... and or in my case 20% off any other Fitbit product. However, I really wanted the Force ... and my friend has the Flex and wanted to upgrade…

I grew up 'up North' and got out of Dodge ASAP .... I thought I had gone far enough South when I moved to Florida .. then thought oh what the heck ... Georgia is still South ... *mumbles* Florida, Mexico, Puerto Rico or Belize here I come!!! (well in a year and a half!!) BTW ... if anyone happens to be down Newnan way -…

South of Atlanta here by about 30 minutes ... Ice has built up, the power has flickered off and on but no matter what I got in my in home jogging today with the Y closed down supposedly til noon tomorrow. If its open then it is back to the circuit and pressing those machines and swimming . . . Have my fingers x'd to…

Wish I could say it came off that fast here ... age, body type, body shape, metabolism, time and ability to exercise and of course food intake and setting realistic goals. I suspect that nearly EVERYONE wants it OFF NOW. It seldom went on that way so expecting it to get off that way just is going to lead to disappointment.…

IF you have the opportunity/ability - check with your Dr and then look at finding a personal coach - you might team with a couple of friends to make it more affordable or check with a local gym and join for a month - sometimes the coach is 'included' for setting up a routine. Sometimes it can be something you can do at…

The first segment of losing weight was 18 lbs ... then I joined MFP and now have lost an additional 50 lbs. I'm SO excited about the 50 lbs ... I am running my "ashes" off ... and have now started really working out at the gym lifting an average of 10,000 lbs with the machines/reps etc (for muscle tone). I've added…

chuckles . . . LOVE this one! :)

Feels good to blow off some steam at inconsiderate folks who think they have to mind other people's business. It is seldom helpful and more often detrimental. However regardless of intent words do matter. The key is to attribute the weight to the words by the importance and value you give to the person addressing you. One…

Some people swear by macros, others by calories, still others by carbs etc. Funny thing is we all have varied ages, body types and metabolism along with many other considerations. What works for you? We've cut down on carbs but for us the real key has been moderation - and not making more than our individual servings. No…

Definitely a two thumbs up experience!
-
dancing workout?

Isn't it great to look at that chart? *lol* expensive for a scale but I still haven't worked my way through all the yoga positions! (tomorrow it is off to Tai Chi at the Y)! CC

If you have a Game Stop (I'd call ahead) they were recently selling used ones for $15. I guess I really never get terribly bored with not being able to beat my scores - I just look for the 455 calories for the day and then go off to the gym. (I only started with the gym two weeks ago) So Wii Fitness Plus was my way of…
-
I'd love to know more about Wii Active ... will it run on the regular Wii or is it a totally different system? (Wii Fitness Plus does have a segment where you can gear your personal program but I really don't use that so much) I use the varied segments mostly the aerobic, balance and free style sections. (and do the…

Welcome to the rest of your life! I hope it is just amazing!:smile:

Weather shouldn't make a difference .... A year ago March I started with my Wii Fit Plus and it was all indoors. I have done some outdoor walking but frankly I really dislike uneven pavement, weird rocks and big dogs. Last week I started at the YMCA and am looking forward to working out there with the circuit that coach…

Down the list someone said that 'motivation doesn't last habit does' (or something like that). When would I get to exercising and so that I was "Doing without thinking" (that to means that it would feel natural part of my day) There is some psychological research on this question in a paper recently published in the…

Thumbs up! I'm not into denial either!

I agree that I do better when I exercise prior to breakfast . . . afterwards I usually have bran cereal mixed a container of Greek Yogurt and a couple glasses of water. (I think I might be a Greek Yogurt addict) :) The workout at home added to the circuit and laps at the pool I usually have a great deal of calories to work…

Nobody gets 'fat' overnight ~ if it comes off easy it will go back on in the same manner. Commitment to your plan is really the key. Congratulations on making this commitment early in life. You have the opportunity to make this change as a way to live the rest of your life. However, on a different note, happiness is within…
