Can anyone suggest a pedometer that they like?

I swear by Activia. I was REALLY struggling with this...then I tried the "2 week Activia challenge" and it worked! Actually there was consistent movement by day three! I am feeling so much better....it was truly making me feel miserable...and it helped to see the scale drop some too! I eat one activia yogurt or one activia cottage cheese everyday.

I only have 4

I lost 8 pounds preop...the rest after...I know I must sound ridiculous...and I AM proud of the 35 lbs...I just feel like it would be dropping off even faster....I have met so many people that aren't excercising and stilll losing...or still eating junk and still losing...just confusing. I know it's different for everyone... I get my second fill on March 13th...hoping for more restriction....as I am still in the willpower stage. I mean don't get me wrong...it's less than ever...but still not where I think I am supposed to be. Thank you everyone for the kind words and the encouragement

Thank you sooooo much...especially for not hating me :rolleyes2: I tried increasing my calories for two days...I gained a pound...panicked...and stopped! Am I wrong? My two works outs include walking (2 miles in 30 minutes) in the morning...and then a core training dvd (30 min) or cardio at the gym (60 min) at night...depending on whether I have time for the gym or just the dvd at my house.

ok...so first...please PLEASE please don't take offense to this or hate me. You should be very proud of your weight loss and accomplishments. This is a struggle...and that's my gripe...is the problem I'm having with my weight loss struggles... Like I said don't hate me.... I had surgery a day after you...I am down less weight than you...and I'm confused. I have not allowed myself anything as unhealthy as you described...I am eating a healthy 1000 calories a day...I'm working out two times a day...what am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I be losing more...if I'm not allowing myself pizza or birthday cake? I'm going nuts here...and again...PLEASE don't take this wrong...I just want to know why I'm not losing more. I read about people that are eating not so healthy foods...or not excercising...and their still losing! PLEASE HELP

I LIVE by Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate. I LOVE IT

Congrats to you! That's awesome. I only got to 182....but I'm still thrilled!!!

I wore a pair of pants I haven't been able to wear in over two years. I went shopping in my closet....found tons of stuff I can wear that I haven't been able to!!!

I personally really like the cottage cheese. And I love the strawberry yogurt. Like the raspberry...just could go without the seeds!

I'm close....I gave myself till the 19th...exactly two months from surgery. My goal is 180...and I'm at 185 right now...so don't think I'm gonna make it....but I'm still psyched. I wore a pair of dress pants this week that I haven't worn in two years! That was very rewarding!!!

So I was struggling with MAJOR constipation issues. It was making me feel miserable. I decided to take the two week Activia challenge...it has changed everything!!! I feel sooooo much better. I am eating an Activia yogurt or an Activia cottage cheese everyday...it's only been a week...and I feel sooooo much better. Just wanted to spread the word for anyone having the same problems!
