Need advice: Heart Rate during C25K
I could use some info/advice.

Fitbit question
Is it possible to turn off the wireless feature of the Fitbit (like putting your phone in airplane mode)? If so, does it still track your movements when wireless is turned off?

Jumping in with both feet
Hi, I'm Jenny, and I'm jumping into a health plan with both feet. My immediate goal is to lose 15 lb by the end of October - that's 12 weeks away. Based on past attempts, I think it's a reachable goal. The harder part, I know, will be the maintenance of the healthy lifestyle. Been there, done that, haven't we all? But here…
