In response to all...Yes, I use my cell phone for safety...But I live is a pretty safe town (yeah, there is crime everywhere...But not as bad as many areas). Maybe I'm to old...Maybe not. Maybe you might be too connected to your phones?? I did most of my backpacking as a teenager (early 1970's). Up in the high sierras there were no cell phones. You were 2-3 days hike to a landline phone. You told people where you were hiking and when you planned to be back (or make contact...Also no answering machines back then)...So you would call back up #s and relay messages.
Now about becoming data less. In our modern society we rely on our phones to the point that they have become a phobia or mania to us if we don't have them...It's true. Hurricane Sandy hit New York and New Jersey a few years back. No joke...Truth...Teenage girls were having nervous breakdowns because they couldn't access their cell phones. NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS!! There are now camps (adult and many other camps) that require you leave your phone with staff before entering the camp.
Not putting anyone down for carrying a cell phone...95% of mobile society does it all the time. But please don't put down the other 5% that choose not to go that route. You talk about freedom and beauty...Try enjoying them when you get an annoying text or call. 99% of the time they can wait. The other 1% I can deal with. Below are a few links to show I'm not totally insane...Brian

Oh my goodness! I am posting here to keep myself accountable but I cannot imagine a point where I could run 20 miles on a trail! I barely was able to jog in intervals Saturday at our 5K. Ugh.

I carry my phone with me always so my son can track my butt if I go missing or need help. Why? I have had low blood sugar spells where I don't remember where I am or what I did. I have a cute little belt I put under my shirt and carry my phone, id and keys.
The only exception would be if we are in an area where there is no cell service. My kids rented a place on the cliffs on pacific coast hwy this weekend and there was no cell service, but I was not alone either.
To each their own. I do it for safety LOL my son said when I start disappearing he was going to chip me LOL

I always use my phone for music with wireless headphones and I adjust my volume according to the route I am on to ensure I can also hear a horn, etc above the music I am listening too.
Increasing your calories will allow your body to retain weight and fat. The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories. The advice you are seeing is not for people who had weight loss surgery.
To lose your weight and maintain your loss you will always have to eat less calories than you did before surgery. Surgery was a shock to your body. It had to do with less food than before and it will always try to gain the weight back.
The fight is not over at one year or ten years. Workouts are wonderful for your health but only cutting calories will result in weight loss.

well sure it is cheap for you...... then you can mooch it off someone who carry their phone when you don't have yours.. or chose not to use yours...

My iPhone has my contacts, my mail, my internet and Facebook, my banking application, My Fitness Pal, my fitness tracker software, my music, my weather and my maps.
I could understand a person with a phone that is only a phone not needing to be connected to it.
I would suffer anxiety without my iPhone on my person.

That is a very bizarre answer. Just so you know even if there is no cell service a ping from your cell phone can be used to locate you should you go missing.

That's kinda a snappy answer. She asked you a specific question & you gave a you just wouldn't understand type of response. As beautiful as that picture is, I'm sure if you twisted your ankle, or broke your leg etc, you'd wish that you'd be able to contact someone. The scenery will be the last thing on your mind in that moment. I'm sure it will change you forever too.
The thing to remember if having a phone really distracts you like that, to make sure you contact someone as to what trail you're on, how long you'll be out & when you expect to be back, that way if something did happen, someone will look for you.You'll just have to take care of yourself in the meantime. Most if not all of those people who go on those nature hikes where cell service is iffy at best, tells someone else of their plans.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.
