  • I did buy a fit bit. Haven't had the stroller issue, but burping the baby puts it in and out of sleep mode

    No excuses left. I'm going to take N on a walk in the stroller tomorrow and start couch to 5k next week.

    No sweets is hard. I want chocolate and soda so bad

    • I've forgotten to update in a couple weeks - Still doing well with my diet - thus far I'm down 20.7lbs since January 1! Hoping to double that for the wedding.

            • So I had DH compare the Fitbit Flex and the Jawbone Up24 so he could make the decision - that's how indecisive I am. He read a few comparison articles, including one that was written by a physician who tried both of them out, and he concluded that the Jawbone Up24 was the better buy - the the that nudged it over the edge was the superior sleep tracking/interpretation, which the Fitbit Flex and the Jawbone Up do not have. I'm not entirely clear on the "extras" the Up24 has in terms of the sleep feature, but he gave me the go-ahead so I'm going to order one. I'm pissed because the Up24 only comes in two colors, and the regular Up comes in way more (cuter ones!) From what I've read, I can't go wrong with either to FB or JBU24, so I'm excited to get one and start tracking. Just picking up C25k and reducing portions has me down 6lbs already! Yay!

              • I've been home from vacation for over a week and still haven't weighed myself. Mostly because I've done really well with tracking calories. So much that I'm trying for an even greater calorie restriction this week. Still slowly getting back into my workout regime, though. Did my first HIIT video two days ago and am still really sore. Weird to think 3 weeks ago I was doing one almost every day. I'll probably just use this bike trainer today.

                6-pack starts in the kitchen, right? I've been eating the Healing Cabbage Soup for the last week. Very filling and tasty. Put nutritional yeast in it but still comes out to less than 200 calories per bowl. I've also been going to bed earlier which has cut out several hundred calories from my lack-of-self-control-late-night-snacking.

                    Definitely will! Sucks because I really like the mint green color but they don't have that for the Up24 (only comes in black or orange). I'm sure as SOON as I order one, they will make other colors available for the 24. That's always how it works for me.

                        The black matches everything though I literally am one of those dorks that never takes mine off. So like on a Saturday night, I totally wear mine out.

                            That's awesome! Good work! You'll have to post before/after to motivate the schlubs around here (read: me).

                              Mine only comes off to shower. I type all day; I keep my wrists up when I do, though (good typing teacher in Jr. High), so it's never bothered me while typing. I also got black.

                              If you haven't ordered yet, WPW, on Amazon under "used" is their "warehouse deals"; much cheaper than retail, and generally just as good (if I were getting an UP24 right now, I'd go for the one that's $130 because it's not in packaging and doesn't have a user manual). As long as it has the charging dongle thing, you're good. That's how I got my regular UP when I got it a year ago. Love warehouse deals.
