I know a lot of people that love the fitbit flex but it all depends on what sort of activity you want to track. I personally have the flex and I think it's great so far! It's perfect for tracking things like sleep and walking but I have heard that it's not so great for tracking higher intensity workouts. I paid $60 for my…

Not sure if this pic is any better than the other one I posted but it's a little more full length. :)

Thank you very much ladies! I really do think I am going to get to my goal this time. It's thanks to kind words like these that help me think, I CAN DO THIS. I don't want PCOS or my age (42) to be excuses. Forty-two is really not *that* old anyway. :-)

Thank you very much!!!

I'm more than happy to share what I have been doing. Right now, I have my calories set at 1260 but I often "eat back" some of the calories I earn from walking so I roughly average about 1500-1700 calories a day. I eat pretty much whatever I want as long as it falls within my calories and so far, that has been working! I…

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!! I appreciate it. ♥

Thank you. I think that you're probably right. Being in a healthy weight range will make whatever curves I have appear more balanced. Very good point!

That's great! Thanks for posting those pics. It helps to see what other women have done. I think my body type probably looks most like that 2nd lady from the Biggest Loser. I wish I was more hourglass shaped but you gotta work with what you have, right??? :)

Wow, thank you for sharing! That's fantastic progress!!!

Thanks for the website link. That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks very much for your replies! I think I will eat back some of the calories but not all of them as some of you are suggesting. I do think that perhaps the exercise calories are at least a bit high....

Thanks everyone. Nice to feel so welcomed. I feel like I am just beginning this journey for real this time and know I can do it. I have been walking for exercise and so far, I think that's been the key for me. I have done the whole gym thing in the past but I never looked forward to it and it was a chore. The nightly walks…

Hi and thanks for the recipe! That sounds like something I would try. A few questions though. How many servings does this make and do you know the calorie count? Thanks very much! -Heidi-
