My Polar FT4 battery died yesterday in the middle of my workout! Now as aggravating as that was, you are supposed to be able to take off and the back and replace the battery.

How does it just go away?
I do not understand how this works. For the week I have just wanted to stuff my face with everything in sight. The last two days were tough. I didn't binge. I didn't today. Today was different. The need was not there. I had no urge to binge at all. How come I cannot just feel like this all the time. Until next time. Ugh.

Stuck.. mentally
I have been struggling for a while with my eating. I eat to much. I know that is the problem. I will do great for a few weeks or months and then I fall off the wagon. I originally lost 46 pounds in 2011. My ex-husband passed away and I gained almost all of it back. For all of 2012 I kept saying to myself "Today I will…

Body Media Fit Link Problems!
My body media fit link won't stay "on" as in collecting data. It keeps chirping that it is off and I have to take it off and readjust. It will work for a whole and then does it again.

Why do they make these???
Sports bras with removable pads! I needed a new sports bra as mine are getting to big and the girls are to bouncy on the elliptical. All I can find are ones with removable pads. I do not know what the benefit of those are. All I know is the removable pads either move out of place, get bunched up, or lost in the washer. I…
