It feels like it's taking foreveeeerrrrrrrrrr!
Gah. Just having a whinge. I know I didn't put the weight on in a few weeks, so it will not come off in a few weeks. I know I could be more strict, excercise more etc.... it just *feels* like this process is dragging on.

Is this Broscience? Or just one of many opinions?

Fitbit vs Sportypal track measurements
Hi there. I'm new to Fitbit, but pretty comfortable with sportypal. I use it on my Sony Xperia (used to use it on my GPS Nokia YEARS ago too). Here's my issue - I don't think the Fitbit One is as sensitive to steps, and it's possible I need to tweak where I wear it on my walks. I walk my dog, and today I had the unit on…

Absolutely GIANT salads, anyone?
It's hot here. I love a fresh salad for dinner. I make a mountain of rainbow of shredded, chopped veges and sprinkle with crumbled fetta and chopped olives. Sometimes I add lentils or chickpeas, sometimes I add grilled eggplant and zucchini. Cracked pepper and a splash of lemon juice, balsamic or fat free greek dressing. I…
