I usually eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Dinner is always different. My intake at dinner really depends on what I have left for calories.

I like the fact that you are giving yourself 3 months of true dieting. Don't cheat yourself though just so you can end up having the surgery.

It really was my inspiration. After seeing the weight start to fall off I decided to add an exercise bike to the mix. I had a great support…

I've been comparing everything from features to reviews for the last 3 day on the BodyMedia, BodyBugg, and Fit Bit. It is my determination that the BodyMedia slightly outshines the other two. Unfortunately none of them measure heart rate which is usually an area that fitness coaches want you to monitor. None the less…
