Night splint. Wonder if I will be able to sleep with it on. Have had Plantar fasciitis since mid-December. Not getting any better. Feeling desperate.

Shoe suggestions for plantar fascitis
Any suggestions for a shoe that provides arch support and heel padding that helps Plantar fascitis? I have it badly in my left heel and unable to do my daily walking which I really miss. Plus my husband and I have a trip planned for next month which will need to be cancelled if I can't walk. I purchased a pair of Therafit…

Belviq and Savings Card
I am considering Belviq. However I am on Medicare and it is not covered. If you are taking it are you familiar with the Savings Card that is offered and do you use it? Curious about which pharmacy you use and how much it actually costs you.

MFP + Fitbit: Calorie goal
Is this correct? If MFP and Fitbit are connected/linked then Fitbit uses the data from MFP for meals logged--basically calories. I have a question regarding setting goals on Fitbit. If you go to your Fitbit account on the Fitbit app (I have Android--don't know of it makes a difference) and scroll down to GOALS:ACTIVITY,…

My Fitbit got dressed up
I love my Fitbit ChargeHR but after 1 1/2 years of daily wearing 24/7 I have gotten tired of the same old boring look. I have been tempted to buy something else for the change but have been reluctant as mine has been very faithful--accurate, no rashes, durable. Then I discovered this neat "sleeve" on Amazon. I am sure…

Contrave
Have you used it? If so, do you think it really helps suppress your appetite? How about "the Scale Down Program" that is on the website--have you used it also? Last, what about the Complete card that gives a discount on price. Would you recommend Contrave as a weight loss aid? Do you have any comments regarding it?

Runkeeper or Runtastic or other
Do you use one of these apps and if so, which one and why? I have been using Runkeeper which is connected to MFP to log my exercise. I just got a Fitbit ChargeHR which I want to connect to MFP. Do I need to disconnect Runkeeper--will exercise be counted twice if it stays connected to MFP.

Fitness trackers--do you have one?
If you have a fitness tracker: which one do you have? Why did you choose that one? I am considering the Fitbit Surge, Microsoft Band, Basis Peak, or Mio Fuse. I have read reviews, followed forums, analyzed pros and cons until my head spins and can't make up my mind. Maybe your input will aid me in my selection.

Elliptical--RPMs
What is your average RPMs (speed) when you work out on the elliptical? I try to manage 40 RPMs which is hard for me to sustain. I read an article that said for the work out to be effective you should maintain around 90. Really? 90?? At 40 RPMs I am sweating, my heart is pounding and my legs are aching. There is no way I…

Vivosmart--my review: a fun toy
The reason for using an activity tracker might have a lot to do with your expectations. I use a tracker as a tool toward my goal of weight loss. I want it to be able to tell me how many calories I burned for the day and from calories consumed what my net burn is. Being accurately able to track movement (steps/exercise)…

Activity trackers--your recommendations
Not too long ago there was really only Fitbit and BodymediaFit as far as choices went for a 24/7 activity tracker. Now it is amazing and a little confusing how many are available. I need help finding just the right one. I want one very similar to the recalled Fitbit Force. I want a bracelet style that shows a digital…

How do you calculate calories on an elliptical?
I have a new Nordictrack elliptical (E11.9) that I have just started using. Settings are incline 3degrees (it doesn't do zero) and resistance is zero (but my husband who has used a LOT of different ellipticals at a LOT of different gyms says this resistance is a lot more than any elliptical he has ever used and doesn't…

New Fitbits on the horizon
I am not a very patient person when it comes to waiting so failure to get any indication from Fitbit as to information on the release of a new tracker to replace the Force has been frustrating. Meanwhile I have bought and returned several trackers because they fail to live up to expectations. A recent Google to find Fitbit…

Friday I am getting the new Samsung Gear Fit activity tracker watch (http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gear/gearfit_features.html ). I was going to get the Fitbit Force but it was recalled.
