Nikefuel, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys - I got a Nike Fuelband for Christmas. For the uninitiated, it tracks movement throughout my day. Does anyone out have one of these or any other Nike+ product? My Bracelet uplaods to my phone and web, and I was hoping to find some friends to challenge. Happy New Year, and best of luck everyone!

I gotone for Christmas and I LOVE it! It will be interesting to see how many steps I take in a day once go back to work on Monday. My fuel goal is 3000. What is yours?

I love, love, love mine, too! I've been really putting my mind to it. My daily goal is 4500, but I've been busting 6k most days. Yesterday I had 20,000 steps. I find it so motivating. Are you on Facebook? I think we can be Nike+ friends then, too. I used to use the little thingamabob that you put in your shoe, and it talked to your Nano or ipod. That was strictly for tracking running, though. I got my lapband August 30, and I'm down about 20 pounds. I've used this time to just heal and learn how to eat with the band. Now I need to get goal oriented. I want to be at my goal of 140 by my one year surgery anniversary date.

Some people use the Body Buddy, but you have to pay a monthly fee to download your info, which turned me off. Plus, I don't think it is designed to be worn around the clock like the Fuelband. I haven't heard of a FitBit. The Fuelband is Water resistant, so I can take a shower with it on, or dance in the rain.

I find the fuel band very motivating. I find myself walking more or climbing stairs just so I can get to my goal for the day. You have an excellent start to your weight loss! It also sounds like you move a lot with a goal of 6000! nice work!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
