Can't seem to get back on track
Ok so as of April, I had 25 lbs to reach my goal weight, which would be a total loss of 100 lbs. In April we had a disruption to our whole family life. Long story short, we let my hubbies friend move in and we were so busy helping him, running him around, etc we just totally got off our routine. Four months later, I've…

Good weight to lift
Ok so I started lifting about two weeks ago. I'm using the New Rules of Lifting for Women as my guide. I know every person is different, but I'm trying to gauge where I am at. What is a good weight that I should be doing on deadlift, lunges with weights, squats with bar, and lat pull down?

fitbit help!
OK so I've been using my polar FT4 to track my workouts. For Christmas I got the fitbit flex. I have not been able to exercise since getting my fitbit, until today.

Confidence lowest
I've lost a total of 74 lbs. I have 26 to my goal weight, but I've already decided to add another 30 to this. I've been obese my entire life. Believe it or not I have always been confident in myself and never had issues with it. However, now that I'm the smallest I've been in my adult life, I feel much more self conscious…

Favorite Meals
Am I the only person who has a favorite meal that I cook a couple of times a week? I absolutely love grilled chicken breast and homemade sweet potato fries. I could eat it for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, and I do eat it probably 3 days a week! What's your favorite meal?

Polar strap?
Ok so tomorrow I'm doing my 5k. The drive is an hour away, then probably two hours until the race starts. I want to put my polar strap on before leaving my house. Being new to using the polar, I wasn't sure if anyone has had issues with wearing it long before beginning exercise.

Polar in combination with Fitbit
Does anyone use a combo of fitness items like this? I'm getting the Fitbit flex for Christmas, but was also kind of wanting to go ahead with a Polar Watch. Any suggestions, helpful info. Is it just overdoing to have both?
