I got a Fitbit flex last week. I'm logging steps, sleep, food, everything!

Why is gaining weight so much fun and losing weight such a PITA?

I think I am going to bite the bullet and start my program tomorrow morning. X(

Officially on the 20th...no harm in starting early :ymhug:

I drank 68 ounces of water tonight. I really wanted to drink a (lot of) beer during the game, but I kept thinking about the CTN weight loss challenge, and how I'm supposed to drink 64 ounces of water each day. So, during the game, I drank water: 68 ounces of water. And now I am burning calories running back and forth to the bathroom.

My shin kicks to fat started this morning. :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: requested.

My pedometer is running again. Hopefully it won't be long until I'm running again, if someone at my speed can be considered running.

I wanna play too. There is strength in numbers.

I started Weight Watchers Jan 1 and am pleased with the results.

What app/site are you all using?

Hey guys!!! It's been awhile but I saw this on Chris' FB and wanted to come visit :) Hope all are doing well!!

I have purchased a Bodymedia.com Link monitor that you put on your arm...like in Biggest Loser? Anyway, it connects to it's own app, but also MyFitnessPal and others. It was $99, but well worth it for me. It tracks my steps, diet, monitors my activity level, calorie burn, as well as sleep efficiency. I have lost 26 lbs. so far and many more to go. It's nice to see it "in your face" like a Laettner 3!!!

Looking forward to seeing how well everyone does!!!

GTHc!!!! Chansky Password FTW!!!
