My fitbit is officially done, it hasn't sync'd since November 4th.  Does this mean none of my steps counted?

I'll Just have to count them manually.

there's a joke in there somewhere given your profession.....


today is the first day of reporting for the twitter challenge by @sdccfit called #NoHolidayGainChallenge. Folks were suppose to weigh themselves last Friday & report the gain/loss.  the goal is to maintain your weight during the holidays.

if folks don't do twitter, your welcome to post here & I'll repost on twitter.  remember we're just looking for the difference not the actual #. 

eta,  I lost 1.8lbs but that was due to turkey day digestion issues.....  i've been tracking my weight on a daily basis for a year or 2 now so i've got a really good sense of where i am digestion wise.

Have you done the thing where you hook up the charger to your computer and push the little button?  That might work to reset it.  If not call the 800#.  When mine died they sent me a new one, no charge.

I got my brother one for Christmas last year and it died. They offered to send a replacement, or let him upgrade to the newest, fanciest version for $30. Naturally, that's the option he took. ;)

Thanks for posting this Alyssa!

Yes...if anyone is interested in joining in the #NoHolidayGainChallenge, it's not too late!

Here's my @SDCCfit Twitter/Facebook post from this morning:

Happy #FitnessFriday! Did #SDCCfit #cardio & weighed myself for the #NoHolidayGainChallenge this morning. I'm -5.4 pounds since 11/25/16!

Mines too old to replace.  I tried resetting it and that worked!  Thanks for sharing that trick :)

I've been doing a lot of comic book sorting and organizing lately and moving that many comic boxes around is proving to be quite a workout.  :)

Tomorrow will be my first weigh then I'll post from there.  Figured it was best to just start on a Friday, even if I am late to the party.

I managed to loose 1.2......

On a personal note I'm at a '0' if I loose any more I'll be in a whole 'nother weight bracket.
Yes that is motivation LOL

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but thought I'd join in, trying not to gain over the holiday...


So starting at a "0" with yesterdays weigh-in.

Good luck to all, stay away from those fancy drinks.
