  1. One thing I am especially interested in in an activity tracker is sleep monitoring. It seems the garmin just records movement while sleeping but doesn't break it down into light/deep sleep etc. That was one of the pluses on the Misfit; also that you don't have to actively set it to sleep mode, it picks it up automatically, if I understand right.

    On my Misfit Activity tracker it does do a good job of monitoring your sleep. It would say out of 8 hours of sleep you got 5 hours and 57 minutes of sleep. I thought it was pretty accurate considering how tired I felt. How ever with the Garmin on the PC dashboard it shows you movement activity which I would assume is when you are lightly sleeping and it shows you the time.

    I see you looked it up, but for the benefit of others reading this, it depends on how old the HRM is. I LOVED the loop and hope they resolve the shirt battery life issue. That and the fact that MFP doesn't sync with it are the 2 biggest drawbacks.

    I'm Milaxx. I haven't added any connections yet so this will be nice!

    I added you BLERDgirl to my connections it is waiting on approval it says :) My display name is Furby036 and real name is Sheila Bergeron. :)


  2. Drmeow, I have the Misfit Activity tracker which is the "cheaper" version of the Misfit Shine. I did like the item but didn't like the fact you can't see any of steps taken or anything else unless you had your phone. I got it on sale at Best Buy on Black Friday for $25.00. It was a good deal at the time, but I would have been pretty mad if I paid full price for it. :)


  3. Hello Everyone,



    I was sleeved on 6/2012 in Portland, Oregon. I'm having a hard time finding a primary doctor that understand the sleeve surgery and the aftercare in the small town I live in. Does anyone have any recommendations on a doctor in the Portland, Oregon or surrounding areas such as Hillsboro? I need to find a Dr that knows what they are doing and talking about since it's not a common thing in our town.



    Thank you

  5. I did the online application and got a call saying they needed my doctor to write a prescription. My doctor did the prescription and she even did one for Vitamins and a scar cream. I called and talk to insure.com people and they said it was being processed and I should be getting a call once they are filling my prescription and mailing it to me!


  6. @coolbreeze it's a high impact kickboxing dancing aerobic workout DVD

    @furby thanks girl....I usually buy my DVD's from beach body directly. I've heard Chalene extreme I've also got inferno which I haven't started yet. I'm going to try to master turbo jam fully first lol

  7. The link is the same as before when I get to the part for a coach it tells me it is Sheila Riley and will not let me change it' date=' are you Sheila Riley? Still getting rejected for the Text Verification that I type in. What am I doing wrong?[/quote']

    Yes I'm Sheila Riley. There should b a spot where u can change the text verification. I had to do it a few time cuz I couldn't read the words.


  8. I LOVE CharLEAN Extream' date=' I've been doing it for a few months now. Just had my sleeve operation 7/13/12 so took a 2 week break on exercise. I am starting the program from day 1 tomorrow 7/23. So excited. I love, love, love this workout.

    Hi lorrie!! I'm in my first week. It is kicking my butt but after the workout feels great! Are you on the teambeachbody website? I'm a coach on there. If u need a coach I would be happy to be yours. I can't wait until I can actually see my muscles from doing ChaLEAN. So exciting


  9. What's a Beachbody? Does it take coordination? :-)

    Beachbody is a name of a group. It has different DVDs you can buy or just go there for support. I prefer not to workout at a gym do I bought videos to do at home. I'm not coordinated at all lol.


  10. lets see i have turbo jam slim n 6 and yoga booty ballet. i know beachbody but i am not ready for a commitment

    There is no commitment. You can just go along with my journey you don't have to do anything. If ever you would like to start a new workout perfect, but that is completely up to you. I hope you join and follow my journey.
