Love mine... https://www.fitbit.com/user/26WBS5

I had the Surge and One. I love the Blaze. It's basically the Surge without GPS (you can track GPS, but the watch uses your phone's GPS...so you have to have your phone handy to use GPS tracking...edit...) but with a colored screen. You can also control music (I'm guessing via your phone...haven't tested it out yet)…

Mainly a digestion aid. Improves the amount of "good" bacteria in your gut versus the "bad". Can help with IBS, bloating, digestion issues, immunity, constipation and more. A great idea to take while on an antibiotic as the antibiotic wipes both good and bad bacteria from the gut. Weight loss, I don't think so and I've…

Agreed with the above. Never manually enter anything on MFP. Fitbit takes cares of that. All caloric adjustments are made by how much or how little (like going into "Settings" to enable adjustments) you do. There isn't a point to the Fitbit if you manually enter the data on here. Stick with the Fitbit on that. As far as…

I have the Surge, I don't believe there is a huge difference other than the call/text receive feature via Blu Tooth and the GPS tracking. Yeah, I would also assume the Surge doesn't track well on a stepper. It's missed and even added "floors" during normal usage.

Always in for more friends/motivation. 27 pounds down and I log daily (with the exception of off days...though even then I try). Feel free to add me :smiley: Been back on here for good for three months, so no disappearing friend here.

This...was just about to post the same. MAOI's interact with a lot of drugs and foods. A lot. It's (Wellbutrin) main appeal is it isn't like most SSRIs that cause sexual dysfunction and weight gain. Generally used as an add-on to some SSRIs. If you're concerned about weight gain, you might also discuss with your doctor…

Had the One before and invested heavily in the Surge. I love both products. The HR part is pretty cool...they say it's as accurate as it can be for a wrist based monitor. Overall, it helped me realize how much I wasn't doing. It's pushed me to get up more at work for small strolls and more. I think it's very helpful in…

For me, avoiding eating before bed is to avoid acid reflux which has gone away with weight loss. But here's an article you can read on eating too late before bed. http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/lose-weight/myth-too-late-to-eat As said, it doesn't really matter when, just all preference. Some people sleep better with an…

I'm having "marital issues" that likely won't pan out, but hoping for the best. Weight loss helped ME a lot personally, but it hasn't made my relationship better. Having fewer health issues, better blood pressure, feeling better generally, and feeling more confident about my physical appearance. Playing hockey again where…

Don't slip...fall...but don't slip. If you have a bad day, give it a shot tomorrow. If getting to the gym is a problem, start a routine where you at least drive to where you workout...even if you don't go in. Slowly work yourself in....5-15 minutes...and then work up. Always get back on the horse. One bad day/week won't…

I count most of them. Mayo and guacamole usually end up on my sandwiches so I count those. Mustard and hot sauce as mentioned before due to little or no calories, I don't.

I usually do a protein shake before the workout and eat a "breakfast" after.

I'll enjoy 3-4 IPAs every now and then a night and have lost 20 pounds now. I quit drinking the harder stuff, so that helped a lot. I usually try to plan them into a day where I know I have a lot more to play with calorie wise.

In...been on for awhile. Log daily and try to help motivate on those "bad" days. Anyone....feel free to add me. The more motivation, the better.

Agreed on BB.com. Lets you customize based on gender, body type, and whether you're a beginner/expert on lifting. I've done a few of their workouts and had great results.

An hour after is just fine.

I've upgraded from the One to the Surge. The Surge rocks because you can log right on your watch what you're doing and it automatically syncs that information. That all I said, I know it's not an economical gadget by any means compared to the other Fitbit models. I do believe you are able to log exercise on the app, though…

Add away here as well. Log everyday and love sending and getting motivation.

Get back on the horse for sure. I think it's normal, especially during the holidays, to regress. There's a lot going on. As for me and some inspiration. Hard liquor was ruining my home life...so I straight up quit it (a couple beers now and then at most now). I'm clear from the hard stuff for 15 days now (truly nothing in…

I have anxiety and panic disorder. I find it very common to become agoraphobic while working out. It's all a matter of focus. Put yourself outside of the box that you feel trapped in. I have medications, but I don't take them unless they're the ones for immediate relief (Xanax, Klonopin). If you focus on your workout…

I could use some that are active. Every friend on my list has been months away from MFP. Feel free to add me. I log daily (except Wed/Thur, my days off, AKA cheat days). Even on the cheat days, I try to log. Always up for more motivation and motivating others.

At max, if following a 2 lb per week goal, 32 pounds (though I think 32 is probably excessive in that time frame). Exercise and weight training will help, sticking to your macros, etc. Easily 16 pounds though. Definitely a possibility to lose a bit more in that time frame. Could be possible to hit your goal, but I wouldn't…

I can't kick mine, so I used a mix of diet/regular stuff and shifted over to a pure diet soda. The alternatives would be sparkling waters (flavored if you need that), teas, or coffee if it's the caffeine you're looking for.

Tuna salad packets and individual packets of guacamole (100 calories) for a tuna fish sandwich, Lean Pockets, Campbell's Chunky Soups that are around 250-300 calories total, chicken or steak fajita meat with a low carb wheat tortilla, Special K Breakfast sandwiches (turkey sausage, wheat flat bread, egg) for 250 calories,…

Nutracore's Lean Active 7....4 g of carbs, 30 g of protein, 1 g of sugar, 1 g of fat, and 145 calories. Has a lot of other great benefits in it. Sold at Total Nutrition. I like it and the flavors are really yummy. Here's their PDF link to the nutritional information...…

I'd say Fitbit, but I haven't ran enough with it to know it it's getting the picture between walking/running. It does track "active minutes" where it knows you aren't just going for a leisurely stroll. You do have to measure both your strides in walking and running. After doing so, you input that info on the website where…

Fitbit is great....the Fitbit One is $100, the Zip is $30-45. Both are great either way. You do have to set your "strides" (measured by measuring your walking and running strides with measuring tape). After you do that, it's very accurate in my opinion. Worth the investment. They're both clip-ons. They have the Flex and a…

I have IBS and if I have too much bread (especially wheat), it usually results in immense bloating and all the other fun stuff. The only other thought I had was you mention eating small meals. Did you have the foot long or the 6"? While my acid reflux has gone away with small frequent meals and losing weight, if I eat…
