Thank you so much Marni and IremiaRe for responding. Marni I wear it on my wrist, didn't even know I had a choice. IremiaRe, I also told it which wrist. I have noticed that I got no steps when shopping today. when I walked the treadmill it was about 300 steps short but when I walked around and around the office it was…

Hello Ladies, I have a question, perhaps someone else has had this problem. I bought a fitbit and started wearing in on Monday. I immediately noticed that my number of steps was low. I counted my steps several times during the day and checked the fitbit and it only recorded about 1/2 of my steps. Anyone know how to fix…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE I have been doing well this past 10 days, just one more pound to be back down to my ticker. Then you will see some changes. I've been getting my exercise every day and staying on plan. The one day I ate something "off-plan" I compensated by drinking more water and eating plenty veggies. Also…

Having a good day, really enjoying the posts on this board and learning interesting things too. November is half over now so I'd like to re-post my November goals here and do a check to see how I am doing with them. Walk 50 minutes every day > getting 40 minutes most days, still need to work on this one. Stay on Plan >…

I have had another great day and stayed on plan,how many is it now? 3 or 4 I think it's four days. I am not much of a cook but I have been trying some new things and am very happy with the outcome.

Good evening Ladies, I have had quite a day, my second day totally "on plan". I had my usual breakfast of oatmeal then a soft-boiled egg at 10:30 for snack, a big beautiful salad for lunch with 2 oz of chicken breast and vinegar and olive oil for dressing. Then I took my neighbor to the doctor and when we got back I was…

Good Morning Friends, I've had a rocky start to my day but I am hoping that it gets better now that I have read and caught up with all of you positive and encouraging ladies. I cannot tell you how important it is to me to be able to read about you all and take courage and strength from you on a tough day as this. If "bad…

Good evening Ladies, I had an interresting and fun day. Watched my 8 yr old granddaughter play soccer (two games) it was a tournament. Packed a picnic lunch for all of us (4 adults and 3 children). the lunch was "mostly" on plan and the kiddies loved the "off-plan" stuff. Did quite a lot of walking and had lots of sunshine…

Thank you Barbie for that thoughtful opening, I am from south Louisiana and we have a lot of very good weather but it's too hot for walking outdoors most of the time so I have a treadmill at home and my boss put a treadmill here at the office for me. It allows me to walk in the mornings before we get busy. I walk for 30…

I usually eat oatmeal 5 days a week with 5 chopped walnut halves and a few blueberries in it. I change it up once in awhile with spices like nutmeg and cinnamon and different kinds of fruit. On weekends I like eggs but it's not as satisfying for me as the oatmeal and when I am working I have a very long time between…
