Tell me about your fitbit
Comments (13)My understanding is that your weight and height, should you choose to set them up on your FITBIT profile, are not "out there" unless you choose to share them, with people other than FITBIT. I have had the ULTRA, which I accidentally washed after being careful for a year, I put it in rice to dry it out and it worked but would not reset at midnight. So by then they were no longer selling new Ultras, so I ordered the ONE last year, it worked great and was easier to wear but after a few months stopped synching with my MAC. I looked online and found other MAC users having the same problem. After trying many things Fitbit replaced it and the new one is working great. It does track my sleep when you place it in the little cloth bracelet and serves as a reminder. If I'm near the 10,000 step goal for each day I often walk around the house or down the driveway a few times just to push myself to that goal, or climb the stairs a few times to make the 10 flights of stairs goal. I don't use the App on my phone, but like just looking down at it and checking my steps and flights of stairs and activity level throughout the day. If I'm sitting at the computer too long and look down I am reminded I need to get up and put more steps and flights of stairs on the Fitbit. I've recommended this product and five friends have them now, some of them gifts from me....See MoreDo you have a Fitbit or other activity tracking device?
Comments (32)I stopped by Best Buy and bought a Fitbit One on Monday evening. I have been painting the exterior of my house, going up and down a ladder for a few hours each day. I wore it yesterday for the first time - logged in over 8,000 steps but got no credit for going up the ladder repeatedly. I guess I'm not going high enough for it to register. And you don't get credit for coming down the stairs - just going up. Still, I think it's great. And now I understand how it could fit in a bra. The thing is about the size of my thumb. The directions for using it are not readily available. It comes with no instructions - it sends you to their website, and even there the instructions are sketchy. I tried to use it as a sleep tracker the first night - got into bed and held down the button for two seconds. What they don't tell you is what the Fitbit is going to do - that two second hold starts a stopwatch. I thought I had done something wrong. I wore it on my ankle last night. It recorded my bathroom trips in the night - LOL....See MoreDisengaging, disassociating, disgusted...
Comments (18)For years my mother was toxic i allowed her to see my son but i set boundries because she didnt like my spouse .. she would bad mouth both of us in front or to the child.. the first time i warned her the second i pulled my son away from her for 9 months . The battle still went on between the adults but my son was spared ... Then after one summer visitation my son was 9 he annouced grama had told him some stories about me (as we were picking him up from the airport) i thought oh some cute childhood story... Nope all about how i was a liar when i was younger and calling child services on her... When i called and confronted her all she could say was it was history my child needed to know .. i screamed at her like never before it took two years before we spoke again .. she has sinced changed my spouse she hated died and i am remarried with a toddler.. the point is it took all that to happened before she dropped her grudge against me and today she sings praises to me and about me to my children .. set boundries is the bottom line ... Mom you may not like me and we have our problems but if you wish to see my children you must 1. Set up advanced timing for cheaper flights and i cant afford the whole ticket if at all. 2. If you cant drop the grudge for my children and mines sanity your contact will be limited.3. Explain to her the cycle needs to be broken and shes a major player in that aspect and she may try to push the limits... Set boundries for yourself, get the respect you deserve. My mom recently paid for a trip to alaska for the whole family and proudly annouced she had assumed for so long i was a different person that it would be nice to get to know me. And we have forgiven each other. Then after setting the boundries no matter how you feel keep the contact short and brief and ignore any confortational remarks no matter how upset you get with her keep it short and sweet till she abides by the boundries you have set. Hope this helps! Let me know....See MoreGrrr...disgusting classified ads
Comments (38)I got a "free to good home" dog off of Craiglist. The previous owners interviewed and checked out several potential owners before choosing us as the new adoptive parents. She's the sweetest Rottie you could ever want and I still stay in touch with the gal who had to give her up. I bought my Black Lab from a "backyard breeder" off of Craiglist. Why? Because I wanted a Black Lab male puppy and I don't neuter the males until they are at least 18 months old for the health of their bones. Couldn't do that if I got a pup from a shelter. I got my "heartdog" as a giveaway in front of a restaurant. He was a "surprise puppy" (an only whose daddy was a fence jumper) and my best friend for 11 wonderful years. I also had to put down a dog I "adopted" (bought for 200.00) from a rescue. I had him 3 days when I realized why he had been to 3 previous homes and brought back. That dog was a beautiful boy but a tragedy waiting to happen. He was "flat-eyed" and far to dangerous to live with anyone. Yes he could have lived out is life with very specific circumstances geared to making sure he never maimed or killed anyone but that would have been no real quality of life for such a beautiful beast. I had him put down privately at my own vets and paid another 250 to have it done. No way was I taking him back to that crazy rescue....See Moresalonva
