I have a fitbit ,and I LOVE it. But you are correct that it isn't going to count non-walking activities. It does count flights of stairs, which has encouraged me to start taking the stairs. My best day so far was 50 flights. Other types of activities you would have to log manually. It gives you a running calories burned…

Good job on hitting your protein yesterday bschoo01! I hit mine, but only by having a delicious Philly Cheesesteak hamburger for dinner that put me significantly over my calorie target.

Question for any of you who lift early in the morning. Do you eat before, or wait until after? If before, does it upset your stomach?

I was waiting when they opened the doors at the Y this morning and was able to get 20 minutes into the first workout before anybody else even showed up in the free weights area. And now that I've done the first one I feel more confident for the next time! It IS challenging to get enough protein, now that I've started…

I met with the trainer at the Y last night and went over all of the lifts for stage 1, and I'm feeling far less awkward about them now. I found it interesting that he said nobody ever asks him how to do dead lifts. He seemed surprised that I wanted to do them. 6 a.m. tomorrow morning I will begin for real!. Have a great…

Hi everyone. I've been watching the conversations and learning from you all for a while, and think I've finally worked up the courage to start this program! I have anxiety about looking incompetent, being in the way of other lifters, etc. I've scheduled time with a trainer at the Y tomorrow evening to show me how to use…

Hi all, I hope it's ok to jump in here and say hi. I'm a 47 year old mom of 2 grown kids and a 10 year old stepson. I've let myself get pretty out of shape over the last few years, and am ready to do something about it. I've been lurking for a while and am ready to actually do something. I've bought the book and read it…

I'm taking "real women" in this case to mean "not Photoshopped". Not an argument that a particular body type is the only acceptable one.

Fascinating conversation, so I just opened mine. Just please don't judge that I have PBR listed as breakfast last Saturday! It was post-midnight and I didn't want it on Friday's total.

Hi Patty, I think you're right that logging everything here is critical to our success. My biggest struggle right now is just that I constantly want sweets! I gave up Diet Pepsi about a month ago, because it seemed to make my cravings worse, and I know couldn't have been healthy regardless, and am mostly drinking water…
