Prize Suggestions for a Weight Loss Contest?
I'm running a "Biggest Loser" challenge at my job, but having a tough time convincing my boss that an iPad is an appropriate prize (even though they raffle them off for just completing a survey...priorities). In any event, he wants alternatives to the iPad. So far I've come up with a Wii Console complete with Wii Fit…

NSV Bye Bye Maternity Pants
So yes, I'll admit it, I was still wearing maternity pants up until last week--and my baby is 1 and a half. But jeez! Nothing else fit right.

I absolutely did not experience a slow steady gain of…

Is adding calories for workouts the right way to go?
I'm just asking because my old counter never did this. When it askd for my profile, it based the calories allowed on how active I said I was. There was no logging of exercise or "earning" extra calories with exercise. Of course I "get" the idea, you don't want to take in too few calories, but I've also heard that…

Going for a Test Drive
Hi All! Been having moderate success with another calorie counter through my gym, but considering switching gyms and therefore counters. I love the phone app (although it and the computer don't always seem to talk to each other). I've ben counting for about 5 weeks, and have lost about 5.5 lbs. It would have been more but…
