Alta battery
I got my Alta on September 10th. Here it is, not even 3 months later and the battery barely stays charged. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it last longer?

Military diet
I've seen this a lot on Pinterest. I'm not considering doing it, but several people I know are. This doesn't seem healthy to me. Has anyone tried it?

Fitbit negative calories
This morning I did my home workout with my HR monitor. It showed that I burned 158 calories. It was a lot of running in place and body weight exercises. My Fitbit did not detect these and took all 158 away! Should I disable my negative calories?

How do you eat your oatmeal?
I am attempting to eat mine this morning and struggling... I have some blueberries, cinnamon, and butter. It's not good. In any way. What is a way to make it better, while keeping it healthy?

Fat free or sugar free?
I was looking to change up my coffee creamer. Coffee is big for me. I typically use coffee mate or international delight. I have cut my amount down to 1/4 of what I used to have, but still want it a little healthier. I have seen the sugar free and fat free options, but not sure which one is healthier.

Is a day off ok?
I started insanity on Wednesday. Did it religiously, as well as my dance workout and walks. I have dropped two pant sizes ( not since Wednesday, since I started) and the number on the scale went down this morning. However, I feel like I am burnt out. I started the insanity disc this morning, but turned it off when my chest…

Core muscle question
How exactly do you "engage" or use your core muscles? I should know this by now but I don't. Are you supposed to suck them in or push them out?

Starting insanity
A friend is lending me her insanity dvds. I know it's extreme and really hard, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me?

Lose fat or build muscle?
So I've been doing a cardio program on my PS3 for a month now. I have stayed within my calorie allowance and the scale read an amazing 8 lb loss from the beginning (not logging until Friday though). So it's working. However, my muscles aren't really being built. My game includes a resistance band and doing things like…

Fitbit question
My Fitbit automatically recognizes exercises and logs it in the Fitbit app. Also when I log an exercise on here it shows in my Fitbit app. So it detected my workouts this morning and they're logged ok on here, but twice on Fitbit. Is there a way to fix this or should I just turn off the auto exercise option?

Calories burned
I just got my Fitbit Alta today. It shows that I have burned 976 calories today. How is this possible? Is there a way to reset it?

Think I finally got the hang of this!
Since forever, counting calories has confused me. I wasn't understanding the "goal" calories vs the exercise part. Correct me if I am wrong please. The goal is how many calories my body uses without exercise. So therefore I should be eating 1200 calories daily. Any exercise is calories that count toward weight loss? Sorry.…

Fruit infused water
I know the claims of detox water with fruit. Not what I am looking for. LOL. I want a way to make my water taste good. Does dropping fruit in it actually change the flavor?

Not really feeling my workouts
I have been doing a cardio workout for about a week and a half. When I started, I would feel almost like a burn after my workout. I don't feel that anymore. Should I increase the intensity to the next level or is it just normal?

Protein bars!
So my super sweet husband has been listening to my ranting lately. Last night I discovered the breakdown of nutrients in my diary and saw that I was not reaching my proton goal. This morning, he comes home from the store and hand me quest protein bars. Are these as good for me as they claim to be or is it all a bunch of…

How would I log this?
So I have some ankle weights, and they aren't heavy though I don't know the exact weight. If I were to strap them on and just do my usual stuff, how would I log this in my diary?

Blood sugar and eating right
All my life I have had issues keeping my blood sugar up. When I was a kid, my mom had me eat a candy bar or drink a soda to bring it up. Cut to almost 30 years old and still doing bad habits to keep it up, along with the weight that comes with it. I have noticed that when I eat "healthier", my blood sugar drops even lower.…
