Hi Kathy and welcome, Ahasrada have given you excellent advice. I use the Bodymedia, instead of the fitbit and I love it. But I agree with Ahasrada you do not have to invest in something pricey. You just need something that shows you how little you are moving. I work a desk job and even though I thought I got up and moved…

Hi, I am going to try to answer your questions. I am by no means an expert but these are the things I have learned in the last 95 days. :) If you are on 1200 calories (many people on here will tell you that is to low) then you should eat 1200 calories + any calories you "earn back" from exercise. If you record your foods…

Here is something else to consider. The better you eat the less you will want the "cheat foods". I used to eat Lunch out everyday Mon-Fri with co-workers. When I started this new lifestyle I decided to start bringing my lunch. There have been a few occasions when I have been caught off guard and had to stay late for a…

This is good to know because I have heard both ways too. Thanks for asking and sharing.

On day at a time and taking baby steps. If you make to many drastic changes you will give up. We are all here for the same reason and we understand. Take a look at my profile and if you think we may be a good fit, send me a friend request. I do things slow, I am still not working out at a gym, I am however moving a lot…

That is definitely not what I would tell you. However, what I would say is dependent on many other things. So what are you trying to find out?

Feel free to add me. I have been here a couple of months and still have a long way to go. Welcome to the site, it is very inspiring and everyone is so helpful and encouraging.

Hi and Welcome, I am here everyday if you would like to add me. Good Luck, we are all in the same boat with you. We may have each gotten here a different way but we are all working toward the same end result. This site is very supportive.

Start with something small. I am not doing a "workout" person, because I cannot breath if I do a real workout. So I started taking the steps at work several times a day. When I first started it was everything I could do to take 1 flight and I could not breath for like a 1/2 hour. Now I am doing 3 flights several times a…

I have neither. I have the Bodymedia Fit Link and I love it. However like the FitBit is not an HRM and I am wondering if I also need an HRM. You have shared some valuable information, thanks.

That is a great deal. I bought mine in November and I received a 3 month free subscription. Also there is a 15% referral discount if you know someone that you would like to use as a referral. I love mine!! The subscription is on $6.95/month and well worth it in my opinion.

Hi, I am here everyday and need to loose almost half of myself also. Feel free to add me if you would like. Also, Gieshagirl - Click on the persons ID it will take you to their page then you will see and option to send a friend request. Let me know if you still need help.

Thanks for sharing. You look awesome and I better you feel awesome too. Very inspiring story. It helps those of us still struggling to see such great success stories.

I am not sure what your problem is, other than your Diet Coke has an addictive ingredient. I gave up all soda's right away. I loved regular Coke but just to many calories to justify and once I switched to water I did not see any nutritional value in drinking diet soda when there are so many benefits to water. And to be…

Hi, glad you are here. I am fairly new still. I have been here a couple of months. I also have a Bodymedia Link. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you like. There is a Bodymedia Group here but it is not very active and I have not found many members with the Bodymedia. I would be great to have someone to talk to…

Sorry you have had a rough year. We are all here for the same journey even if we all go here different ways. I am here daily, feel free to add me if you would like.

Welcome, I am here daily if you would like to add me.

My goals including moving more. I had not idea how little I was actually moving until I started counting my steps. Also, my big motivation is to be healthy. I have lost 15lbs since the beginning of November, which is slow but great considering it was the holiday season. I would like to feel great in my size 10 jeans which…

Yes there is definitely a big difference in your face and how your clothes fit. Your 1st pic is a little dark and harder to see what you actually looked like, so maybe that is giving you some problems in seeing the difference. Concentrate on one specific area such as your face and it may make it easier for you to see. You…

I am here daily and as others have stated we are all in this together. Please feel free to add me. Welcome back and good luck!

I did not join a gym and don't intend to join one. I do however have my own home gym, I just need to actually use it. So to answer your question, YES I AM GOING TO STICK WITH IT MORE THAN 30 DAYS!!! I actually started in November so I am already past my 30 day mark. This week has been a struggle with 2 holidays (including…

HI, Sent you a friend request.

I have never been able to get mine to vigorous activity. Everything I have tried has calculated as moderate. But I am also not doing anything hardcore. I think the default settings are 3 mets for moderate and 6 mets for vigorous but you can change these if you like. Also, your BM will get more accurate the more you wear…

I am here everyday and I have about 100 lbs to lose. Feel free to add me to anyone that is active.

Thanks that worked. I went into the "edit off body" and selected it to be the same as the night before.

Congrat!! I love mine, I have only had it about 3 weeks, so I am still learning some things. It is very user friendly once you get it paired with your phone. The pairing was a bit difficult.

Thanks for the responses. I have been wearing my Bodymedia for a couple of weeks now and I love it. The numbers are getting more regular and I love that I can look at my phone app at anytime and see how I am doing throughout the day. Sometimes this is just the incentive I need to get up away from my desk for a while. I…

Hi Kristin, I am fairly new here, but I big part of the reason I came was for the support. Glad to see you have decided to use that support and motivation also. Feel free to add me as a friend if you think we can help encourage each other. I 100 lbs I need to lose and so far I have lost 10, so I will be here for a while…

Be careful will Ebay, I bought one for $85.00 from what appeared to be a reputable seller. It was supposed to be new, but it was an older model placed in new packaging. It was a real pain to try to get my refund. I have now ordered one directly from the vendor.

Hi Katie, Take a look at my profile and if you think we can help each other through this journey, please feel free to add me as a friend. I am here daily!
