You may be perfectly satisfied with the features of the free Fitbit account, but to maximize your understanding of your fitness, nutrition, and personal health, a premium account might be the way to go. The premium account includes: Fitbit Trainer, comparative benchmarking, and Excel exports for body, food, activity, and sleep data. If you'd like to give the premium account a try, there is a 14-day free trial available under the "Premium" tab of your dashboard. This is a feature available only to premium users. Fitbit Trainer uses your recorded data to create a tailor-made 12-week goal. The trainer will hold you to a high standard, but also takes into consideration whether your goal is too difficult or hard, allowing you to edit your goals after a week has passed. The Fitbit app on your phone does support barcode scanning, and this can make logging the food you eat in your food plan a cinch. Tap the barcode icon where you normally log your food, take a picture of the barcode, and when you see "Got it," the food has been logged.  You may be prompted to add the food you have scanned to the Fitbit food database. If the food is not recognized, you may have to input your information manually. All kinds of Fitbit trackers are calibrated for walking, running, and general exertion you undergo throughout the day. This does not include activities like biking. For the best accuracy, manually log your activities on your dashboard under the "Log activity" icon. Fitbit Surge is the single exception to this limitation, and Surge will take cycling into account when tracking your activity.

One-sentence summary -- Evaluate the premium account. Hit the gym with Fitbit Trainer. Use your barcode scanner. Log unsupported activities manually.

Q: Unless it becomes a routine problem, if someone makes fun of you the best way to handle the situation is by ignoring the teasing altogether. By ignoring the bully you are denying them the attention that they are seeking by making fun of you. They are likely to get bored and leave you alone. When someone starts to tease you, don’t give them the attention that they are seeking. Continue to do what you were doing and act like you didn’t hear them. If ignoring the bully does not work, consider walking away from the situation. While this still denies the bully the attention that they were seeking, it also sends a clear signal that you will not tolerate being teased. This will also prevent you from having to hear what the bully has to say.  If someone starts to pick on you while you are at your locker at school, grab the books that you need and go to class. When a co-worker is making fun of you in the office, find something else to do. Go to a different room to work, grab a cup of coffee, or take a trip to the restroom. The bully will likely be back to work by the time you return. If persistent teasing is getting you down consider finding an emotional outlet. Exercise can help you release built up anger and stress. It can also be a great confidence booster.  Take up boxing or kung fu to release some built up aggression. Yoga or distance running are great outlets to manage stress and clear your head.
A: Disregard the teasing. Walk away from the bully. Find an outlet.

Article: Journaling your meals, snacks and drinks can help motivate you to stay on track.  Also, people who journal typically lose more weight and keep it off longer compared to those who do not track their food.  You can either purchase a journal or download a food journal app.  Try to track as many days as you can.  Again, you're more likely to stay on track and stick with your meal plan the more often you record your foods. Keep track of your food journal.  This may be a good resource to evaluate how well your diet is going and how effective it is for weight loss. Sleeping seven to nine hours each night is recommended for general health and wellness.  However, adequate sleep is also important for weight loss.  Studies show that people who sleep less than six or seven hours nightly or have poor sleep weigh more than those who get adequate rest.  Go to bed earlier.  If you have to get up early, try to get in bed earlier to help increase your total sleep time. To make sure you have a sound and undisturbed sleep, remove all electronics — like your phone, tablet device or computer — from your bedroom. Practice good sleep hygiene to ensure you get the most out of your sleep. Baseline activity is activity that you already do everyday — walking up stairs, walking to and from your car, and doing daily chores.  This type of activity does not burn a lot of calories, but can help support your weight loss.  Although it's very possible to lose weight without going to the gym or working out regularly, there are definitely benefits of being moderately active.  Even by simply increasing baseline activity, you may notice more weight loss, improved mood, or increased energy.  Try to increase your baseline activity each day.  This can include parking further away from where you work or are shopping, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, standing during commercial breaks, or delivering messages to co-workers in person instead of by email. Encourage social gatherings that are a bit more active. Frisbee, golf, swimming, or a simple picnic in the park with friends are activities that will get you moving (and get you fresh air). If weather is an issue, do something indoors like dancing.

Article: Whether you want to start a college that can grant full degrees or you want to start a school that specializes in a specific field, such as electrical engineering or a culinary school, you need a comprehensive list of all of the courses you plan to offer. You’ll present it to state education boards for accreditation and so you can attract prospective faculty and students.   For a full-degree granting college, create a list of general courses, such as Biology 101, and then build the list into more specific and focused courses. Look up educational requirements in your area so you can make sure you include all of the required classes of an accredited college.  Develop a curriculum for each of the courses you plan to offer so your college is more professional and legitimate. Look online for existing curricula and courses that have been used by other colleges for each of the subjects. Look for common components and use it as a model to make sure your curricula are up to current standards and aren’t missing any major elements.  For instance, if you’re putting together a curriculum for a basic anatomy course, look online for other anatomy class curriculum so you can make sure yours isn’t missing anything. Creating a class curriculum from scratch is much harder than using an established curriculum as a sample. Separate the course into units that cover a specific element or topic. Then, break down each unit into specific classes and what will be covered. To help reinforce the lessons of each class, craft assignments that students must complete to help them fully understand the main topic of each unit.  Use the acronym SWBAT, which stands for “Students Will Be Able To” to help guide your units. Ask yourself what you expect the students to be able to do or know at the end of each unit. Incorporate tests and quizzes designed to assess the students’ understanding of the topic. Comprehensive tests or assessments should be included at the halfway point and the end of each course so students can show that they understand the material. Write a syllabus for each class that lists the units and topics that will be covered as well as any textbooks, books, or other materials that each student will need to have for the class. Include a description of the course, the grading and evaluation policy, as well as classroom policies such as class rules, homework, and make-up assignments.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Put together a list of courses your college will offer. Review existing course curriculum as a model for yours. Write out the lessons and assignments for each course. Create a list of required materials for each course.
