fitbit charge vs fitbit charge HR
I am looking to get a fitbit but not sure if I should get the fibit charge or the one with HR. The reason I am looking at the fitbit charge HR is because of the band - it is designed to be like a watch, so it does appear to be more secure. The HR function is nice, but I have read it still requires a lot of tweaking and is…

Favourite Snacks from Costco?
I have been to Costco (Canada) once and found it overwhelming. There was so much food, in such large quantities with people just picking things from almost every aisle. The one thing I noticed that there were boxes with 'single serving snacks'. This seems like a great idea for the avid 'snacker' (like me!). However,…

Weight loss success with a pedometer?
Just wondering if anyone has had success losing weight by using a pedometer? I have seen the fancy ones on the market, like the fitbit, jawbone etc..and also the HRT watches and such. They probably do work in some way, but just wonder if the need for expensive gadgets is necessary? A simple pedometer costs about 15 to 20…
