Hi Ladies. I'm a 46 year old mom of two teenagers. I'm very active. I work out to T25 videos twice a week and weight lift twice a week.

Fitbit Charge HR and Accuracy = FABULOUS!!
Hello all. I have had my Fitbit Charge HR for a close to a month now. I've been logging all my own data (calories eaten, fitbit burn, weight, etc.). In last couple of weeks I've lost 2.8 lbs.

Fitbit is "looking"
Hey all - I looked on the fitbit web site and followed steps to get my fitbit to reset...but nothing is working. When I got on my iphone5S, and go to my fitbit it says its "looking" for my fitbit. If I try to manually sync it nothing happens. So this morning, I went to my PC and put my fitbit right by my dongle and it said…

What have you learned from eating TDEE - % ?

Squat - not progressing
I've been doing the strong lifts 5x5 for a few weeks now, I've progressed in all areas but the squat. I'm trying so hard to get it down and finally, I think I got it, but I'm nervous to start adding weight. Is it okay to keep doing the squats with the olympic bar for a while to get that comfort level done???

TDEE/Fitbit/Daily Calorie intake

For those who lift and are losing inches.....

I keep reading things about lifting and making sure you eat enough protein? Right now I lift for 30-45 minutes 3x a week and I do a lot of walking and maybe will run on…
