I've ordered my fitbit

Options
I can't really afford it but knowing this I will make sure I use it.
I have also registered for race for life so I have 6 months to lose as much as possible
As it is walking 10 minutes to the corner shop has me sweating and breathing like I've run a mile, so I have to do this x

    I did the same last June and ran my first 5k in the middle of September. I started by working to the fastest pace I could walk for 30 minutes then used C25K and followed the program, sometimes repeating weeks. I did however do it everyday 1 day the full time next day half or less, I'm now up to running at least 2 miles a day.

    You for sure can do it you'll have to push yourself but don't be afraid to take time off if something hurts, I ended up taking 2 weeks to heal up from bursitis in my left knee. Also get yourself fitted for a good pair of running shoes, they'll be cheaper than a visit to the doctor.

    You can find Fitbit friends in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Challenges vs. your friends are super motivating—and fun.
