  • Mine stems from being a VERY active kid/teenager that ate whatever she wanted. When I moved away to school I stopped moving and kept eating what I wanted. By the time I realized what was going on a had gained 50lbs (in 18 months from 150 to 200) and I was discouraged that I could keep up with anything so I gave up. :(…

    in Need Nike Fuelband Friends! Comment by gotobedmaryse March 2013
  • I have mine set the light active. I have a Nike Fuel band and the days when I'm at home taking care of kids and chores I burn about 2800 fuel points. The days where I'm at a desk all day (and then kids and chores) I burn about 1500 (this rarely happens). That tells me that I am NOT sedentary when at home and move quite a…

  • This will sound really, really cheesy but my friend told me a saying that's really stuck with me. "What you eat in private, you wear in public" I am NOT a sayings kinda person, and I follow no mantra, but this one hit home and every time I want to stop somewhere for ice cream or sneak chocolate I take a big breath and say…

The first time I lost weight it took 3 weeks before the scale moved, talk about discouraging, but eventually went from 224 to 184... It's…

    in Figuring out calories needed while pregnant? Comment by gotobedmaryse February 2013
  • I've got it set to little over 1200 cal and I eat back all my calories to about 1700. I make sure to exercise everyday and usually go over on week-ends (but never more than 2200) Seems to be working right now, and I rarely feel hungry.
    in How many calories are you aiming to eat a day? Comment by gotobedmaryse January 2013
  • I got one for Christmas as well, and it's ok. Not amazing but fun. My husband got one too and it's been a competition to see who gets more fuel points everyday. I don't think the pedometer and calorie counter aren't accurate but still gives you some sort of idea over time. Worth 150$? probably not but if you have money to…

  • I also do both. I don't see why it should be one or the other, they work so well together.
