I'm asking Santa for a "Fitbit" this year' date=' from what i have researched they are the most versatile and the band you wear is small

http://www.fitbit.com/

I think what ever you decide on it a move in the right direction, I currently use a new balance pedometer that has a USB interface so i down load all of that data into my PC , but it is a clip on . found it at target on clearance sale from 48.00 down to 28.00 i like it

Cheers

Do you know if fitbit runs on Bluetooth or wifi? I live so far out in the country wifi isn't an option. So I have to stick with Bluetooth interface.

I don't know much about them just starting to look into it. I like the idea of it!

good question.i believe they all sync with your phone no transmission you plug it in direct to sync and charge. they seem more of a data collection device the phone or computer processes the bulk of the data. trying like you to find some one who actually wears one :-)

check you tube there are several reviews. look for fitness band reviews 2013 the compare the 4 most popular. good luck let me know what you find out.

Happy Labor Day June RNY Friends,

I live in Minnesota. A huge event here is our State Fair. It is second in attendance only to the Texas State Fair, and the Texas Fair is twice as long. Like most fairs, food is a HUGE part of the fair. I LOVE the State Fair. I have not missed one in more than 30 years! I wasn't sure how I could go this year and basically eat nothing. But I did! I had a great time!! I even had a two bites of a dairy malt - my first ice cream since early June! I left having had a really enjoyable day and not feeling deprived. This morning I was rewarded with the scale being down. The fair grounds are big, we were out there for over 8 hours, and I am sure we spent most of that time walking. And the best part is this morning I am not even sore! Nice to know I don't have to completely give up my old life to embrace my new life!

A fitbit is also on my wish list! Everything I have read makes it seem like a great devise. Anybody out there have one and would like to say if they use it/ like it?

About 6-7 years ago I lost about 50 lbs. through diet and exercise, but I regained it all and then some. I saved all that old clothing and I've been happily fitting into it again. Today while looking for things to put in next week's garage sale, I found 4 totes of forgotten clothing in sizes 22-14. I'm currently in a 22 or 20 depending on the item. It felt like I won the lottery!!

I just got a fit bit for my Birthday and I love it! I researched them for awhile and they had great reviews. It comes with a blue tooth USB toggle you leave plugged in to your computer and you can sync it when you get a chance. You can also download the app on your phone and Bluetooth sync it there as well. You can log Fluid and food intake on the app/online as well as set weight goals. I actually like it better than the my fitness pal.

      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.
