Hello From Yakima Washington
My names Larry. I am from Yakima Washington. I have been doing Weight Watchers since August 25. I am down 29 lbs. I am happy with the weight loss but the point system that they use really bugs me. Not to mention the $20.00 a month for access online. I would much rather see real numbers for calories. I was also impressed…

Weight Watchers to MFP. Lots of points left.
I have been doing Weight Watchers for three months now. Between that and walking 4 miles a day six days a week I have lost 35 lbs. I decided to try out MFP because I am more comfortable with math than magical points. I have a lot of weight to lose so weight watchers current assignment is 56 points for my daily allowance. I…

Achilles Tendon and compression socks
When I first got back into walking I did all the wrong things. I pulled the old cheap shoes out of the closet. I didn't stretch. I pushed myself to hard to fast. As a result I tweaked my Achilles Tendon on my right foot right next to my heel. I went out and got fitted for a good pair of shoes. I always stretch before I get…

Does anyone have a Charge? Do you like it?
I have had a One for awhile. Other than the lame sleep wristband I like it. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Charge? What do you like or not like about it? I am thinking of giving myself a Christmas gift and am interested in your experiences.

Fitbit Android update vs mapmywalk
I did a search for this on Fitbit, this forum, and the web. Sorry if this has been discussed already. This morning my Android phone had an update available for Fitbit. After I installed it and opened it I noticed that a new category was there. I is called "Track your exercise". It appears to be very similar to the…

51 year old male looking for friends
My names Larry. I have spent the last ten years sitting behind a desk staring at a computer screen during the day and beer, BBQ, watching football, movies, and playing video games at night and on weekends. As a result my 5'8 frame blossomed up to 339 lbs. I started with weight watchers and started walking a few months ago.…

Protein requirements and body weight
I really did search for an answer before I posted this. A little background. I did weight watchers for awhile and had some success. I decided to try MFP to see how the numbers compared. I wasn't getting near enough protein in my diet. MFP averages between 100-115 grams of protein a day. I have been getting close to that. I…
