  • Sorry ladies - I'm up a bit for this weigh in :( I had my IUD replaced last week and I'm struggling with bloating and cravings :( ...plus, I'm just really struggling with this weather...uggg...it will not stop snowing and it's consistently been around - 25 degrees Celsius. I'm just really starting to feel the blah of this…
  • Cool! Thanks! Something snapped a few weeks ago and I got back in the game!! Now, for this Wednesday's weigh in, I will only be down just over a pound, but, I guess any drop is a win!!
  • Wowza's!! ...well that puts it in perspective!
  • My 12 year old son weighs 89lbs and he's pretty bang on "normal" weight.
  • Domestic violence and the continued use of family courts to abuse their families has nothing to do with a "conflict between parents". Domestic Violence is a one sided crime. Look, I've sort of hi-jacked this thread, admittedly. A 12 year old child who weighs over 200lbs did so under the guidance of the parent with whom he…
  • http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/pas/DVP.html An interesting article on Domestic Violence by Proxy.
  • I don't know a lot, about a lot of things, but I've become somewhat of an expert in family law. Unfortunately, this is not how family court works; though I appreciate reading something like this because it signals you've never had the misfortune of going through the family court system. If she takes him to court to alter…
  • My goal this month is to try and keep my daily calorie intake consistently around 1400-1500 per day, regardless of my exercise. On Saturday's when I do my 10K run, I burn 800+ cals, (or even Tues / Thurs when I do my 6K's and burn 500+ cals) which becomes my "excuse" to indulge...then like Astraea05 said "...the more junk…
  • I also struggled for most of January :( Gained and lost the same 3lbs since December 23. Then, about a week and half ago, something just snapped and I decided that I didn't come this far to through it away! ...that I'm more than halfway to my goal, and I wasn't going to stop now! Just know you're worth it, and you deserve…
  • Thanks! I ran 10K this morning to celebrate - ran my 10K personal best; 1:06:09!!
  • Ladies - I KILLED it this past 10 days! Weighed in this morning at 2.9lbs lighter from my Jan 21 weigh in! I'm back in the game!
  • I'm glad you love your Vivofit, sincerely, but it's misleading to suggest that Garmin Connect has only been down 2-3 times since December given that at least one of those time it stopped working for a week! A quick trip to the Garmin Connect Facebook page will show the hundreds of people who have had enough because of…
  • I got my Vivofit last Aug (with HRM) and a Forerunner 15 last Oct. Love the products but the regular and reoccurring syncing issues make the products not worth a nickle. For those of you who recently obtained the Vivofit, the fact that the Garmin Connect site stops working approximately every two weeks for a few days at a…
  • Mind. Blown. Love this! Didn't know it existed!!
  • I managed to salvage the last half a week and lost 0.8lb!! Yay! Back at it! I leave for the Dominican on April 7 - so new goal: current weight 163.7 - I want to be 150lbs on the day I leave. That gives me 10 weeks to lose just under 14lbs. I WILL do this!!
  • Thanks! I appreciate the support!
  • Hey peeps! I've really been struggling / floundering since just before Christmas :( I gained a few pounds over the holidays and I've been losing/gaining those same few pounds for the last several weeks. I'm really good during the day, but nighttime binging has somehow gotten the better of me :( Some days I've logged it…
  • I'm in Ontario - I have the Garmin Forerunner 15 and the Vivofit (with a HRM that connects to both). I love both gadgets. What I HATE is the Garmin Connect software...it goes down every few weeks and is down for a few days at a time. For financial reasons, I'm sticking with Garmin for now...but will be keeping my eye open…
  • This is lovely...thank you for sharing. :)
  • Ha! I sooooo do this as well!! Actually...this is how I discovered that my treadmill automatically stops at one hour!
  • I've never understood why everyone hates the treadmill so much?? I have a current addiction to the show Homeland, but I will only will allow myself to watch while I'm on the treadmill, I've logged A LOT of km's in the past few weeks!! :) It's minus 32 degrees Celsius here today with a foot or so of snow...no thanks, I'll…
  • THIS! ...is the best gif ever!!
  • Your actual number of steps doesn't update to MFP, but a line item shows up under your exercises that says "Garmin Calorie Adjustment" (based on your steps), which provides the number of calories burned based on your daily steps.
  • I've had the Mirena for (almost) 5 years; having it replaced next month. I've lost 44lbs, feel great and LOVE not having a period!!
  • I've had my Vivofit since August and actually this is a regular occurrence. The Garmin Connect syncing issues happen approximately every 2 weeks and last for a few days at a time. Garmin seems more interested in releasing new hardware then actually fixing their software issues. Head over to the Garmin Connect Facebook page…
  • [/quote]I believe that is if you joined the group with the intense fitness added. This group is just the calorie counting one.[/quote] Thanks :) [/quote]The exercise spreadsheet is a side challenge that everyone can participate in if they would like to and is separate to any of the groups you may have signed up to. You are…
  • Garmin Connect is a piece of s&%t. Seriously. Their syncing issues are regular and recurring; this happens every few weeks for days at a time. Visit the Garmin Connect Facebook page - hundreds of pissed off customers and Garmin Connect won't respond to anyone. If I had the option of taking my piece of s&%t Vivofit and…
  • I go about this backwards...I decide the pace I want to run, then pick music to keep me at that pace: www.jog.fm
  • Hi! I updated my weight as of Jan 1, but I don't see a place to add my fitness?? ...am I missing something??
  • Exactly this! I'm a single full-time working mom of 2 (12 and 8 years old). I invested in a treadmill, an exercise ball, free weights (a set of 3lbs, 5lbs, 8lbs and 10lbs) and some fitness bands. I'm up at 5am; workout is 5:15am-6am. Shower, lunches packed and breakfast ready by 6:45am...I get myself ready while the kids…
