I'd like to suggest that there be multiple threads for this challenge - maybe one per week of the year? Otherwise it's going to get really unwieldy and hard to follow.0

The smart way to set goals
Setting goals is a great place to start. By knowing your outcome goal ("I would like to lose 20 pounds") and setting goals that can help you get there ("I will walk 30 minutes every day"), you'll be on your way to a healthy lifestyle and weight-loss success!(MC)

Hi all. I got my fitbit on Christmas as well. I have been logging on MFP for almost a year now. I have lost 47#, so far. Looking to lose maybe 10# more...
Name: Casey
Starting Weight: 155 (current, when I started MFP back in Jan 2015, I was 202#)
Goal weight: 145
Sleep: 7 hrs
Weekly or daily steps: My current goal is set to 10k, but I have been averaging about 16k. Last week I did 114,057 in steps!
Calories burned: Looks like I burn in the range of 2000 calories, give or take depending on my walk
Weekly weight loss: I maintained this week, but will tell you I enjoyed NYE and NYD!
My new thing/tip in trying to up my daily steps is to take the long way to the cafeteria at work. I walk way out of my way to get there and try to get 5k steps in before I even leave work and go home to walk the pups and get in my 3.5-4k walk everyday.
Can't wait to get to know everyone!0 -

I'm just getting started back and have the fitbit charging! Tomorrow will be my official first day.

I'm in if I can find my old fitbit. But I have a stupid question. Do you subscribe somehow to this thread or do you just remember to look daily?
The only stupid questions are the ones not asked.
Look to the right of the thread title and click on the star. It will turn yellow to indicate you have successfully bookmarked the thread.
To reopen a bookmarked thread look for the bell, star, and gear near the top right of the page. Click the star and then click the thread you wish to reopen.
Cheers!0 -

And a good tidbit on how I got my stats--in the Fitbit Dashboard you can EXPORT your monthly/weekly data. I am a numbers nerd so I export into Excel, average it out, highlight the days where I beat my goals, and then make a goal for the following month. This month is to average over 30 days of solid activity per day (I averaged 23 last month).
To export--go to your Fitbit Dashboard (web browser)-->Settings-->Data Export. You can adjust the date parameters and decide how you want to export your details and what you want to export (body, activity, sleep, etc.) and what format you want to export in (CSV is my preferred because I can manipulate in Excel). For me I like it because it shows me my trends, where I need to focus on (distance and activity minutes are mine), and if I can increase my goals.0
