New activity monitor



Recommended Posts

I've never had an activity monitor, and I hear lots of good things about the FitBit One. However, I just saw this soon-to-be-releaed fitness monitor, the Pulse, in an article, and it looks as though it can do everything the One does and has a heart rate sensor. http://www.withings.com/en/pulse/#catch-phrase

It mentions that it links to the My Fitness Pal app...is that how most of you track your intake, etc?

^^^ the fit bit flex. I like it. More of a novelty as nothing is truly that accurate unless it is GPS and I get that from my phone. I like wearing it on my wrist instead of clipped to me. I would lose it!

I use the UP by Jawbone band. It looks good and is unobtrusive. The app syncs with MFP, which is where I prefer to log my daily intake. I love the idle reminder and that the app reminds me when the charge is low (the 10 day charge claim is pretty accurate). The only annoyance is that it doesn't sync wirelessly. I also love that I can flip it to my ankle when I'm on the treadmill or riding my bike so that it will record that activity. Oh! And I tracks my sleep, I love that!

My husband just got me the band jawbone for my birthday so far I love it it makes everything for me easier to record and to know how many carbohydrates I am really taking because before I have no idea of how to record my food intake. So far it does not bother me at all and I love the sleeping track.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
