I love the wireless upload by laying it out on the phone. I'm not sure I would pick it over something else that tackles the motivation factor. It's not enough to tell me I'm close to meeting my own personal goal. The point is to motivate me to go further. That's the only thing I didn't see addressed with this product.

80% of this is diet. 10% exercise. 10% genetics. Focus on the diet and you can lose the weight. Exercise has other benefits but right now it sounds like you need to just focus on whatever exercises your rehab people want you to do. That's okay. That won't stop your ability to lose these pounds.

This is the point of exercising: Increased endurance Better health More strength More energy Smaller size (may be more advantages but these are the ones I'm listing) Yes, I said it, smaller size. I weigh 2lbs less than what I did before I gained my moving abroad pounds. This time I added exercise (especially weight…

I am 2 pounds less than I was before I started losing my moving abroad pounds. Yet I am cleanly a size smaller! I tried on 6 pairs of pants to make sure and none of them were tight. I'm definitely smaller than I was 1.5 years ago at nearly the same weight. You know what gets on my nerves? The fact that the word *kitten* is…

No. I'm gonna log in 3,000 quick add calories and move on.

After all this, you might not be able to walk to the pie table. Mission accomplished.

Portion Control Make Choices (eat what you really want but if it is just traditional and doesn't make your mouth sing, skip it) Relax Be Social (don't make the entire day about food, but do enjoy) Exercise (maybe not on the day of but in prep and after) Let it Go Portion Control (bears repeating, you don't have to eat…

Basically I'm not going to worry about strict calorie control BUT... I will make choices. Some things I really really really like. I have it. If it's not on my OMG list, it's okay to skip it even if I do like it. I will limit my portions. It's about tasting and enjoying. It's not about over stuffing ourselves. Save that…

I play a domino game called Chicken Feet. Does that count? My version has zero calories.

I have kids. My body isn't the same but it definitely is still rocking.

My waist is 26" and my hips is 37". I don't have any idea what my bust is because I am annoyed I dropped so much of it.

Two possible causes I can think of off the top of my head: some loose skin bloating Basically you can't spot reduce. You have to have patience. It may be the last to go. Are you measuring yourself? (Keep in mind bloating can change the measurement sometimes).

This is why it is important to realize that motivation waxes and wanes but commitment pulls you through. Don't over rely on motivation. Continue to seek ways to motivate yourself, but in the end the trick really boils down to learning to just do it because you've made a commitment to do so. That's not to say you won't have…

I move my mouth when I'm thinking in my head and the people I'm thinking about are hearing or if I'm thinking of my own reflections or tasks. If the people I am thinking about are deaf, I do some small or sloppy sign movements, often at my side. I have to concentrate on not doing this in public. It looks weird. At least in…

Motivation isn't always going to be there. While we work at keeping our motivation up, the real answer is commitment. Tell yourself what you will do and follow through. Period. Motivation lights the fire. Commitment gets the job done. Make a promise to yourself. Don't go to bed until you've done it. You may have to talk…

Do you ever read lips of the people in the car behind you when stopped at a traffic light?

Like I said, I KNOW what you did last summer. It was creepy.

I read lips. I know what you did last summer.

Dreams are excellent. Get started on them. Make new goals.

You don't have to be stuck in a rut. Get out of the house. Go camping. Go geocatching. Go zip lining. Learn to ski. Volunteer for something worthwhile. Join a cause and become an activist. Go back to college and do something different. Save for a vacation. Take day trips. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. There are lots of…

Delete. Duplicate.

Exercise is not a must for weight loss but from one fairly recent former anti-exercise person to another, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. One day it suddenly clicked that all of my resistance was really a mental thing. You will see people attempt weight loss because they want the prize but for whatever reason, they…

I basically have a fitness nerd on my friend list who talks Greek to me every time I ask a question. In the beginning I didn't understand diddly squat. I checked out a few books. Don't be mad at me folks. I didn't read them cover to cover because there was parts I had to gloss over because I didn't had a clue what it said.…

Did you set your stride length?

How about something active! Look into adventures. Make it a family date! Geocatching A hike to a beautiful area Zip lining Snow tubing A ski lesson A class run by your state parks Camping A game of lazer tag or paintball

By the way, did you contact fitbit? They will usually replace them--even if you lost it. PS. I know you weren't really asking about the fitbit. I was mainly clarifying in case others are interested in your post.

Actually from what I've read here, you can't really use an HRM for weight training either. Fitbit is really to help you determine your overall activity level. Are you sedentary, lightly active, etc. you literally wear it 24/7. It is also a motivator encouraging you to move more using online competition with other users…
