Losing weight

[JR 137]

I've contemplated the Fitbit Blaze, but I don't need the bells and whistles. I just want to be able to see the time like a traditional watch (shown constantly instead of pushing a button). Being able to get it to show HR without a few button pushes would be great too. The wrist flick and tap feature don't work right for me.

I don't care for the gps tracking and all that other stuff. If I were a runner I'd be all over it. I guess gps would be a lot more accurate in steps taken and distance walked throughout the day that the current design though. I think it gets a bit confused when hitting the bag, confusing my arm my arm movements during punches and kicks for natural arm swing during walking/running. I highly doubt I'm taking 4500 steps during my workout. I am constantly moving backwards forward and sideways though.

It's been a busy 2 weeks, between doing a ton of stuff for work, and having the winter break. It's actually harder during breaks to get anything done, because my kids are also off.

I've stayed at 210 the last 3 weeks, +\- half a pound.

Since I've cut my portion sizes to more realistic sizes, I can't eat as much as I used to. I took my mother out for lunch last week to a place my wife and I used to frequent (she can't anymore due to allergies). I ordered what I used to, and my mother ordered something similar. I used to finish mine, then finish my wife's (about a quarter of her meal). I couldn't finish mine. That's a new one for me.

Hopefully I'll be able to go pretty hard the next few weeks. I'll try my best to drop 10 lbs the next 4 weeks. A little under 3 lbs per week doesn't seem too unrealistic.

As for weighing myself - first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom and righ before getting in the shower. It's the only way to get consistent readings on a regular basis.

I'm getting the Fitbit Blaze for my birthday which is in a few weeks time from my fiancee. For me I wanted it for the practicality for my placement and work so I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket to see who is contacting me.

I personally don't need the GPS considering it would also use my phones GPS if I ever needed it.

Also it is about $70AUD Cheaper than the Surge.

I'm contemplating the Blaze. I have a friend who can possibly get me one for $125 (they'll retail for $200 here; and it's not stolen or anything like that). It'll all depend on my mood, finances, and if I like it after seeing it in the flesh.

Not sure if you're interested in the Charge HR, but it'll tell you who's calling when paired up to your phone. It won't show text alerts though.
