I use the Withings pop watch and scale. My husband gave me the Bluetooth blood pressure monitor for Christmas, but I haven't used it yet. The Withings automatically transfer my data to MyFitnessPal and the food I log there transfer to the Withings app

Congratulations!!????????????????

Hope your party was fun and you were not too mischievous ????

Happy New year! 2015 is just about in the books and was a good year for the Holland family and especially me! I'm down 30 pounds in 12 weeks and feel great about myself, instead of feeling miserable that I gained another 5-10 pounds over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I look forward to 2016 and all the changes it has in store for me. I expect to not only see onederland but to reach my ultimate goal. I expect when I list my house on the market in he coming few weeks it will sell in a timely manner. When school is out June 3rd my 8 year old son and I will join my husband and 17 year old daughter in our 32foot RV until we find our dream house. And lastly I expect to start my new career as a teacher in the 2016-17 school year. Yes 2016 is going to be a good one! My resolutions are simple... To enjoy life now, and not when I'm thinner and to get back to a regular exercise routine. Usually my resolutions are to give up smoking and drinking (because I do neither it's simple but these are simple too! Be blessed with health and happiness in 2016 my friends! Catherine

Wishing my Sleeved family a very Merry Christmas! <3 love you guys!

Tomorrow I will be eleven weeks post op. And through these weeks I've gone from being hungry every two hours and worried that I was over eating to not having an appetite or hunger pains at all. Only when I start to feel weak and shaky do I realize, I need to eat something. The problem lies in nothing sounds appealing. Is anyone else having this issue?

@@MarciaN Thanks!

Please share your accomplishment with us. Graduation is a big deal. So happy for you! Thank You RG It was such a great experience to walk across that stage! But the best part was I graduate with my husband and this day is only topped by our wedding day and the birth of our children.

Wow, looks like So many different doctor follow up programs. I go once a month for a year, and my doctor sits down and spends about 20 minutes every time talking to me about the foods I'm eating, and other concerns I have and gives me suggestions.

This will be me tomorrow evening ????

That is super Marcia! Congrats and welcome to meat

Well how did it go? 8 pounds this month for a total of 25 pounds in 9 weeks Thanks for asking RG!

Monthly doctor check up today <biting my nails>.

Adorable!

Titan- You look great! How much did you lose in 6 months? I had my revision done October 5th and weight loss seems slower than the non-revisions. But at least I'm losing so no complaints... right! I also was a self pay Kaishey- I agree with Titan.. Do it, you will not regret!

My surgeon told me to throw my scale away, but it is sooooo tempting to step on it every day. I stopped the everyday weighing though because my weight fluxuates and at times has stalled and it only disappoints me. I do get on once a week though I do however see a difference in my cloths and have retired two sets of scrubs and am back into another set!

lol..nope. He was a cashier and was checking me out! Pun intended? lol

I just got back from my WDW vacation on Saturday (11/28) and I am exhausted! My feet hurt and every muscle in my body aches (lol). I too,kept a water bottle in my hand at all times and loved that you could buy fruit at the little carts around the parks. Regarding kid meals, I was able to purchase (no dining plan for me) kid meals for myself, the only exception was at the character meal we had they would not budge on that one.

Hi Everyone! I'm back from my Disney World vacation and I feel like I went 10 rounds in a boxing ring and lost.(Lol) I walked about 8 miles x 7 days with lots of standing in line for rides and attractions and lost 2.6 pounds. Every muscle in by body aches and my heels are painful to walk on. One thing I'm sure of, without this surgery and my 20+ pound loss, I would have been miserable. Now the countdown to Christmas break is on! Three more weeks

Have a great time! My vacation starts in 15 minutes and it looks like I'll be walking a minimum of 15 miles a day, for the next week, so I expect the scale to reflect this when I get home. WDW here we come!

I'll be in DW the week of Thanksgiving. I'm wondering if the buffett would allow us to pay a child's price.

The polar loop is but I can only find the scale that goes with the other tracker (Withings).

I had my first 4 week checkup yesterday. Down 17.4 pounds since surgery, I was kinda bummed that it wasn't more. He told me to throw away my scale, that I should be judging my weight loss by how my clothes fit and how I feel and that he doesn't pay much attention to the amount that has been lost in a month, he only uses the scale to see a trend. I told him I was limiting soft foods like yogurt and refried beans because I felt like I could eat more than I should (4-5 ounces). He told me he was not a big fan of yogurt but if I like it it was ok to eat, but consider it a liquid and not a solid. Concerning beans he told me they are a GREAT food to eat and 4 ounces was not a problem. Then I talked about the calories in 4 ounces and told me He is not concerned about me counting calories, but making good food choices and exercising 30 min a day. I asked about carbohydrates, he said most of them have no great nutritional value, like a potato. Most people only eat the inside and discard the skin where most of the nutrients are. Then I asked about bread, he said he prefers us to eat non wheat products. Then I asked about rice again he said white rice has most of the nutrients stripped and of course brown rice was better, but all of these on occasion are fine. With all that having been said, after more than 50 years of programing to count calories and the overwhelming desire to get on the scale at least once a week, this is one thing I probably will not be able to comply with, besides only days ago I bought a new scale to go with my new watch/activity tracker

You wanna meet in Gulf Shores this winter? Guess you'll get good workouts shoveling snow this winter

Shucks! It would have been fun if we could have met up for coffee and meet in person! Maybe this summer in Gulf Shores!
