My Fitbit One is hanging on by a thread. I got it when they were first introduced. Battery life is down to about 3 or 4 days. I am desperately seeking one to wear in the small pocket of my Levi's 501s. The One was perfection; tiny, accurate, unbelievably durable. I laundered it at least three times!

Good luck .. you can do this as well!

Thanks for all the nice comments! My wife says I should pick it all up and carry it around for a day so I can remember how it felt!

ok!

yikes! why did photobucket mess around with their site?

still having image issues

Thanks to everyone for all the nice things posted - it's so satisfying to feel as though I may have given something useful to someone else, even if it's just a small idea...

Wow, you're just a pound away yourself! Congrats! I'll be looking forward to seeing you in "Success Stories"!

Wrong. Klewis81 is right. You are actually comparing apples to oranges. Blame our forefathers for such a confusing system. There are two types of ounces - weight ounces and volume ounces. When you use a measuring cup, you are measuring volume, not weight. An ounce of liquid does not necessarily weigh an ounce of weight. As…

Ruby Tuesday's has quite a few good choices. A small (7 oz) sirloin can be had with sides liked steamed brocolli and YUMMY grilled green beans. I usually double up on the green beans for my sides. Very nice, tasty dinner with zero guilt! The steak with double grilled green beans comes in at 392 calories!

Chilis Southern Smokehouse Burger at a svelte 2,290 calories and 6,500 mg of sodium ... LOL. At least that includes the fries! Most of us wouldn't be able to eat again for two days!

OMG you look GREAT! Like a totally different person!

Thanks!

Stunning pictures ... may I ask what area of MT they were taken?

You, sir, are an inspiration! I hope you realize how much your success encourages others who may have felt hopeless!

Bump - up next .. is he a MFP member?

You've taken the first (and most important!) steps by recognizing the need to change and signing up for MFP. I just finished Day 50 since I signed up and have lost 22 lbs. It isn't magic; you have to be committed and do the right thing EVERY DAY if you are truly serious about losing weight. Just keep in mind the simple…

Gary, You probably never thought of your weight loss in these terms ... but think for just a second how your success has inspired many others! I'm sure you arrived here at MFP wanting to lose some weight ... and now you've done so much more! My heartfelt congratulations!

Interesting you ask that as I was wondering the same thing. As it turns out, my 2 weeks with the biggest weight loss were two weeks in which I went over on calories (by up to 1,000!) on one of the days. Not sure what that means ...

Jim, My bet is that, when you started out, you never knew you would serve as an inspiration to so many people! I salute you!

If you won't do it for yourself, do it for that adorable child that you hold so lovingly in your arms!

Slice a red bell pepper into strips and enjoy with some lowfat ranch veggie dip. You can eat half a bell pepper and 2 Tbsp of dip for less than 50 calories. Yummy and the Vitamin C is off the charts!

Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Krunch Lites - vanilla/chocolate coating with crisped rice ... pretty good imitation of a Crunch Bar and only 100 calories ... I have one when I feel that ice cream craving!

Hi Red, You might be surprised (as I was) if you were to try weighing a few fruits. For example, I was weighing some Braeburn apples that I thought were "medium". Holy moly, they were TWICE the weight of a "medium" ... hence DOUBLE the sugar content and DOUBLE the calories. I would have been off by a hundred calories or…

I have weighed from the start, and you are so correct, it's the only way to go! WOW what a wake up when you really work to make things accurate!

Absolutely correct! The other thing is, when you weigh the amount you are actually eating, you can adjust the serving size as you record it. For example, today I wanted a little more dressing on my salad than the "2 tablespoon" serving. So it's easy enough to just change the number of servings to "1.5" and use 3…

Dude! It's people like you that keep me going! You truly inspire others with your hard work and determination ...
