Microsoft Stores Giving Up To $50 for Trade-Ins For Fitbit
Through Feb 8th 2015 Microsoft stores are taking trade ins of fitness bands and smart watches for credit of up to $50 for use toward a Fitbit. I got their promo email and figured I'd pass the info along. I always thought Fitbit should have had an upgrade / customer loyalty discount. I'm surprised Microsoft isn't doing this…

Insanity on XBOX ONE / Fitness
Are any of you doing Insanity on your XBOX One w/ Kinect? The month one videos are in XBOX Fitness for free (all but the recovery day disc) – I have the official Beach Body Insanity DVD set but doing the video on the console is great. It tracks your form, encourages you, knows when you aren’t really going that high with…

So … what do you do with your hair?
I transitioned natural during my weight loss journey. For many it’s about self love – finding yourself etc. – either that or the pain in the a** relaxing, blowouts and wrapping becomes when you have a consistent workout regimen. I’m definitely not alone … as I look around at the gym I can see many big choppers, curly…

Why are so many women SCARED of weights? LMAO.
Just curious… At my gym I’m usually the only woman on the floor w/ weights, I’m the only one uses the Smith machine etc. All of the women are in classes (Zumba, Pilates…more Zumba). Guys are NEVER in classes (with the exception of the 2 or 3 that may go to the spin class). I don’t understand why classes (and the cardio…

Two Gym Memberships, Overkill?
I have a membership at my local gym, Fit For Life ... but recently got a flyer that a Planet Fitness will be opening next month - both are very close to my home. Guess my gym caught wind of Planet Fitness coming to town since they dropped basic membership from $19.99/mo to $10/mo. The present $19.99 membership has tanning…

30 Day Squat Challenge – Excessive Body Weight Reps
What is the point of excessive reps with body weight squats? I’m curious. For the 30 day squat challenge, I can understand how a novice would benefit by building proper form and increasing reps. Perhaps having a set schedule can offer encouragement. Maybe there is something I don’t understand … I’ve always been under the…

Triple Play Bundles (Phone, Internet, Cable) - Suggestions?
Nothing to do with fitness but I was hoping you can chime in. I'm considering ditching FIOS triple-play since my $131 "bundle" magically becomes a $250+ mo/ bill. I may port my number to MagicJack or my wireless carrier. I don't watch much TV ... Netflix and Hulu combined cost less each month than HBO alone. I rarely use…

Purchases You Made To Prepare For Insanity
Just curious… Have any of you purchased, Shakology / recovery formula, Heart Rate Monitor, Cross Trainers / Footwear Or anything else to get through this round of Insanity? I bought a strapless heart rate monitor (New Balance HRT), it was $50 but it helps me know if I’m in my target zone and how much I’m burning (typically…

Whoa! ENDOMONDO Calories Burned Estimates are WAY HIGH
I was thrilled when I got the MFP notification regarding app syncing but bummed that my Nike+ Fuelband can't be integrated. I went ahead and downloaded Endomondo on my phone today so my walks / runs will be uploaded to MFP and I won't have to do it manually. Ok, so I went for a walk during lunch and it says I burned 694…

What Macronutrient Distribution Works For You?
Everyone is different…but you learn so much about your body and how it responds during a weight loss journey. Macronutrient distribution is a biggie for me. The American Health Association recommends about 50% percent carbs (roughly half of your diet) but I NEVER lost weight following their recommended ratios irrespective…
