I was just coming here to ask the very same thing! Bummer it doesn't have those settings. :(

Mine is supportive in theory, but undermines my efforts every. single. time. If I actually tell him I have a structured plan to manage my eating habits, he will, without exception, come home that evening with cake or cookies or something that he has bought just for me! He doesn't even know he does this, but he does. So…

Hey, I'm chatty! And I really need some accountability. I'm back on here for the gazillionth time trying to lose. I have a family that is supportive in theory, but if I mention watching my eating habits, my hubby will come home with a box of chocolate covered cherries or a huge chunk of red velvet cake or some other…

Add me if you want! I have a master's in public health. I'm aaaaallll about the science. I love it (not) when people think that some whiffle ball off the street who has just published some weird diet MUST know more than the medical community with years and years of research (same argument I have with anti-vaxxers, but I…

This is such an interesting thread. I'd actually never thought about it. But this time around (you know how that goes), I really haven't said much of anything to anyone. My husband and I have discussed that we need to get healthier and I have mentioned that I need to get my health back on track following three years of…

Hi! I bought a Force the first week of January. I love it. It isn't waterproof, so you can't swim or shower in it (not a big deal for me). I clean it with an alcohol wipe. Holds a charge nicely and definitely makes you aware of how much you are or are not moving. I hike a lot, so it's a good option for me...If I see I'm a…

I bought the Force 2 weeks ago (plenty of Star Wars jokes abound in my house...."I see you are using the force! Hahaha"). I needed something to keep me motivated to get up and move because I'm at a computer literally all day (I sit in front of one for 8 hours at work, then go home and sit for another 4-6 for grad school).…

Just healed from a stress fracture in my left foot. Did the boot and all that fun. Initially my workout was crying because I couldn't go running. Once I got my head on straight, I did weights and the recumbent bike at the gym (which, by the way, sucks to do in a boot).

I love my Trek and would buy another. I have an older hybrid model and it handles really well, and holds up better than I do to crashes! It does well on most surfaces, but loose/unmaintained gravel trails aren't so great; the bike is too light and the tires too thin and it can get a little squirrely. BUT those really…

Oh yeah, and my super power is using sick leave or annual leave once in a while for ME. Sometimes you've just gotta take a mental health break. I use that time to go on a really long run on a gorgeous trail, followed by a latte at the coffee shop in the canyon, then I subject the people at the nail salon to my stinky feet…

Totally with ya. My hubby commutes 60 miles each way, and leaves at 5 am, getting home around 6 pm. I work full-time, and this past year I got to juggle my full-time job AND running my daughter to preschool 3 mornings a week, and then to daycare after that. My answer? I got up with my hubby at around 4:30 each morning,…

Hi! I started running in minimalist shoes about a year and a half ago, I guess (I have Merrells). Before that I was running in super clunky motion control shoes that felt like I was running with bricks attached to my feet. Evidently I was a pretty bad overpronator! I constantly was injured; usually knee issues. Nothing,…

I have no advice, but am looking at both of these products currently as well. However, I currently have a healing stress fracture in my foot, so I am not sure which program would be best to do (when I'm healed, of course). Is P90X high-impact? If not, I'll go that route since lower impact means less chance of reinjury.…

Hi there!! Yeah, motivation is an issue I deal with from time to time, for SURE! I think I finally found an eating style I can live with, which helps a lot (I cut grains, dairy, and sugar). But, to keep my motivation up, I set goals and rewards. For each 5 pounds I lose, I reward myself with something I really, really love…

I did pool running when I had a tibial stress fracture. Get a pool running belt and hop in the deep end. It's the same motion as running, except there is no weight on your injury. Lots of good info on it on www.runnersworld.com.
