I'm interested in getting one of those. How do you record meals/calories in that thing? myfitnesspal has a drop down area that you can pick your meal and food items that calculates everything for you.
You seriously motivate me when I hear you talk about that. You've done a damn good job. If you have any more tips I'd like to hear them. I need to drop some weight.
I have the ipad app that lets me record everything I eat and the fitbit itself sends the info on my activity. If you don't have the app, I think you can just use a website. It's pretty easy to use and helpful to keep it updated daily because it'll adjust how much activity you need based on your meals.
Does the app let you mess with it on your phone on the fly or do you have to be sitting down with your ipad? I like to record stuff as I eat it so I don't forget.
There's a phone app as well, I just never used it.
I swear by it. You burn calories doing anything from shoveling snow, walking, to mowing the yard. The key though is to honestly track your food. I'd say it is very similar to Weight Watchers, but Weight Watchers is not as effective IMO because they don't count fruit or vegetables...and can carry over calories to the next day.
Most of the food we eat is already in their database. I go to the site on my phone...I don't much care for the app.
Wait, myfitnesspal tracks activities too? Tell me more.
Try to make the majority of what you eat protein, vegetables and fruit, when you eat carbs try to eat whole grains. Keep healthy snacks around the house like regular/dried fruit, nuts, yogurt, etc. Look at the meals that you're eating and try to eat more of the proteins/vegetables available as opposed to the bread, rice, and so forth.
There is an exercise tab, a food tab, a reports tab, and a home tab. In the exercise tab it has all kinds of exercises in the database...it will figure it out for you, but if you use an elliptical or treadmill, I use the numbers off of there.
Good luck buddy.
My brother in law got it. Just be prepared for weird eating for a while, but in the long run, it will be worth it. And oh yeah, the farts never go away. I have never been around a man that gassy in my life. Bastard can rip one at any time now.
Good luck, brother. It'll be for the best in the long run.
My dad has had some nasty ass gas since his gastric surgery. I mean, nasty. He can clear an entire house.
