Hello helpful Disers, I will be staying at the Dolphin for a conference in June and my kids want Magic bands. As part of the conference, I get discount tickets. Does anyone know if you can get Magic bands with the conference tickets? Also would it be worth it to stay at another resort for...

Since my fit bit zip went through the wash :confused3 I switched over to the Flex. It's great, being on my wrist, it's a visual reminder. I also like using My Fitness Pal so that I know what my calorie deficit is. :yay: Good luck fit bit Disers!

The DIS Unplugged podcast for 2/18/14 is about being a Disney Cast Member.

I too put on the pounds in school. My physician has been waiting patiently for my doctorate to be finished- doctorate done, now I need to work hard to lose weight before my next physical. I started the C25K program and while I am not fast (15 min/mile), I usually do it two times so the session...

Week 3 and things are going really well, I even found a route in which one of my runs is on a steady decline. I feel like I'm flying! I do wish the app would talk to me a little more and tell me how long the run is and how many runs are left. And would it be so difficult to say "hey you are...

The app worked great- did week 1 both days 1 and 2! It was such a nice morning with noone on the beach except me and the dog so i kept going_not fast by any stretch of the imagination but at least moving.

I downloaded the C25K for $1.99. Dog is ready, off to the beach for a chilly morning beach workout!

Hi all, i am looking for a Couch to 5k app that tells you when to walk run but allows you to use your own music. Anybody have one?

Hi all, thanks for motivating me to get moving! So I have been using my Fit Bit and getting in 11,000 steps per day. We have a great dog park near by that is several acres, out on a peninsula surrounded by the bay. Its beautiful with a half mile loop and lots of dogs running off leash. However...

A cheaper option is the fitbit zip-less than $50.

I am starting to break the rules....I have realized that I use the rules as excuses. Like the rule of don't exercise right after eating. Keep your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes. I am super busy (like everyone else!) and if I wait until the right time to exercise then it never comes. So I...

Brazilian Grill for dinner. Not even sure how to estimate the damage done for that meal (or the ice cream afterward). Oh well, tomorrow will be a new day. :confused3

Great info Lynda! thank you! Do you know what the default stride length is? I am only 5'0" so my stride length may be shorter than average. Kate

So great to see so many Fit Bit users. How many of you set your stride? I didn't want to mess with it and figured that I had a baseline to start with and would increase it, not too concerned with accuracy of miles traveled.

Anyone else using the Fit Bit? I just got mine last week and love it! If you have one I would love to here tips for increasing steps. I love that you can link to friends. My SIL is at WDW and killing me this week in steps! I even bought one for my sister for her bday so that she can join in the...

Fit Bit zip to track activity + My fitness pal app to track food = down 4.5lbs for this week! :cool1: How did everyone else do? What worked for you this week?

I have had the myfitnesspal app to log my food for a while. It works fairly well when I use it. I recently purchased the fitbit zip to log my activity. Now I can see exactly where my issues were. myfitnesspal was way more giving with calories, it allowed 1,200 while my Fit Bit wants me to earn...

Your excitement and enthusiasm has sold me, going to pick one up today! :yay:

I listened to the podcast and then got up off of the couch and went for a 2 mile walk with the dog. He and I both thank you for that!

I have finally stopped the excuses. I work full-time, have a busy family life and am in a doctoral program. My excuse was that I would wait until after the doctoral program was over to tackle the weight loss. Then it became apparent that if I waited any longer, they would be rolling me up to get...
