You're such an inspiration! You and I are about the same age, we are the same height, and we're around the same weight and you're absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for reminding us that slow and steady wins the race -- keep up the good work!

Thanks, everyone!

Fitbit allows you to make adjustments to your activities. It will pick up whatever calorie burn happens during the activity, allows you to manually add the activity that occurred during that time, and adjusts the calories (calculated using your stats, i.e., height, weight, age, etc. on that day). I added 30 minutes of…

Yes.

Yes. You can mark when you start and stop a certain activity and it will tell you the duration, calories burned, the number of steps, number of floors climbed, distance, pace, and speed. Here's an example from the last time I took my dog for a walk: Here's the speed (you can see when my dog needed to stop to take care of…

Let me know if you want to sell your Fitbit One!

A thousand times YES! I wasn't able to lose weight consistently until I got mine because I get a more accurate measurement/estimate of my daily calorie burn. I knew MFP overestimated my exercise calories, etc. I track my food here and activity and calories on Fitbit.com (I think Fitbit gives me a more accurate count -- MFP…

Fitbit has made all the difference in the world to me since it helps me know exactly how many calories I burn a day. (Well, technically not EXACTLY, but a more accurate estimate than just entering activity on MFP alone.) I track my food here and my activity on Fitbit.com and use the two to maintain a 1,000 calorie deficit…

As long as we're saying things that "might seem harsh," you'll forgive me if I don't take advice from someone who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're." You may think I suck because my food diary's private, but I think that a grown man spelling things phonetically is a worse crime -- I guess we all have…

I'd been off the pill (Loestrin) for about 5-6 months. I went back on and didn't change a thing about my food or exercise, (I have a lot to lose, so I shoot for a 1000 calorie deficit per day), and I gained 7 lbs in 10 days with a 7600 calorie deficit across those 10 days (it would've been a larger deficit, but I did a…

I'm with you, marieeugene. I've maintained my exercise regimen and shoot for about 1000-calorie-a-day deficit and gained three pounds between Wednesday and Saturday -- TOM started on Friday. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature. But I figure it's water weight and will fall off as long as I keep eating right and exercising…

I don't know if this is the same, but sometimes when I feel like the elliptical is kicking my butt and I want to quit, I tell myself that I can quit any time. I always keep going until my time is up, but it seems like telling myself I can quit is all my mind needs to hear so it doesn't rebel, complain, and give up. Maybe…

Love this thread! I'm 5'9" and was 262lbs at my heaviest (thanks to 40lbs gained after taking Effexor) and am at 254 now with a goal of 180.

I'd be ALL OVER that! Great idea!

I'm in Katy (west Houston).

The grocery store, Wal Mart, Home Depot, Sam's Club, etc. are between my gym and my house, so I absolutely run errands right after working out!
