We bought our XBox and Kinect for Christmas. I just tried Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 on Tuesday. It's great! I was actually quite sore the next few days. There are SO many different things you can do. But I agree that the calories counts can be rather demotivating. I didn't use them for the one day I tried it. So far,…

I've been researching the BodyMedia Fit for awhile. I haven't actually bought one yet though so I cannot attest to how well it works. It straps on to your upper left arm and you leave it there all day. It even tells you how well you sleep. You plug it in to your computer to see your progress. There is an optional display…

I don't have a BB of BMF but I did research them for several months. It seems the consensus for stationary bike/cycling is to move the BMF to your calf instead of your upper left arm. Obviously, I haven't had the opportunity to check that but it seems like it would work...

I love the CamelBak water bottles! I have 2 (one 500ml and one 750ml) that I fill daily to drink at work. I usually end up adding in an additional liter of bottled water at work (the water for my building tastes bad) so I have at least 9 cups by the end of the day. Something about being able to bite on the mouthpiece makes…

I get it. I'm very similar and somehow feel a bit disappointed if it doesn't say I was under my goal. Sometimes, I'm contrite because I went WAY over but other times I may have only been a few calories over. Then again... I delete the update in my news feed when it says I lost weight and really it was just part of the…

I agree with the orthostatic hypotension. If you get up (sometimes too quickly) you may get dizzy, light headed, nauseaus, and I've been known to have my vision kind of black out (but I don't actually pass out- it fades in 10 seconds or so). I had this problem when I was younger and was actually told to eat more salt to…

I haven't done an Alaska cruise but I've done a Caribbean in the past and have another scheduled for October. Cruises are vacations so the only way you'll be over-scheduled is if you allow yourself to be. How many sea days do you have? Those days you'll have plenty of time to get a workout in. On port days, you'll probably…

I take the One-A-Day gummies and B-12 gummies (for energy). I take the gummies because they taste good and make me feel like a kid again!

Friend request to you!

I did the same thing with my profile pic. I HATE having my picture taken so there aren't many of me anyways and I look fat in all of them. This one I had taken to show a friend a new haircut and it took several tries to get it with my webcam with the computer sitting slightly higher than my face... ugh it was horrible to…

I had that chocolate craving feeling the other day... I walked through the Target candy aisle and found a package of 6 mini kit kats. They're only 70 calories for a package of 2 little kit kats. Also, there are Snickers mini ice cream bars that are only 90 calories.

I weigh pretty much every day, first thing in the morning. I think it actually helps. Yes, I get a little discouraged when the scale goes up. But it's also good for me to make a connection between how close to my calorie goal I was the day before and the number on the scale today...then I adjust and move on. I'd think it'd…

Mine is a Tanita (or something like that) digital scale. It's supposed to also calculate % body fat but I jump off before it starts that- it' something I DON'T need to see right now. What's been so annoying is that it cannot give me the same measurement twice in a row. I weigh 3 times one right after another and I get 3…

This is a great topic! I've always had problems running. When I was younger I always ran on my toes. I was laughed at a lot so last year I started to try running again and tried to retrain how I ran. Now, instead of running on my toes I have more of a cow plodding/slap foot/ very uneven gait sort of thing going. My husband…

I've been considering the bodymedia fit (bluetooth version) for the last 8 months or so. I keep looking at reviews and they seem all over the place. I just worry it will be exciting at first and then i'll slowly stop wearing it, especially during the summer when I have short sleeves and have to answer so many questions.…

I can't wait either. I didn't get into the show until this April... then I watched all 3 seasons and read all 11 books in under a month. Then I rewatched season 3 just to get hubby hooked too! Cannot wait til tomorrow night! For those of you missing HBO, I know my cable provider (ATT UVerse) is offering HBO free this…

I've tried Mio and didn't really like it... no matter how much I add it always seems to be "syrupy". But I do love "True Lemon". I've only been able to find it at WalMart but its great. Tastes like I added lemon to my water. I know actual lemon is much better but these are great for on the go or to take to work.

I'm still kicking myself because I'm normally very careful with labels and the kitchen scale/measuring cups are constantly used in my kitchen. I did check the label of the first jug... 0 calories. I guess I just missed the missing "Diet" on subsequent bottles... other than that the bottles look very similar.

I have a very clear memory of being 12 years old and divulging to my (very small) best friend that I weighed 132 pounds. I don't think she was even 100 pounds. All summer she'd make little comments about it, not purposefully trying to be mean but it hurt nonetheless. That was when I started worrying about my weight...…

I started day 1 yesterday on 6/21. It was SO much harder than I expected. I finished it but had to stop the DVD a few times. Once I stopped to use my inhaler and then in circuit 3 I stopped it to switch out my 5lb weights to 3lb weights. I did my before pictures and measurements before I started. The pictures really put…
