New here---and wearing my FitBit

Greetings! I have had 50-pound weight loss on another site--counting calories and logging my exercises--but I've been "stuck" for a little while. I think I need a jump start. I bought a FitBit last week, and I decided to join this site when I realized that the two can sync. Much as I've loved my other site, it has become too cumbersome to use both of them simultaneously. Anyway, I hope I can refine my healthy lifestyle.
I'm not on a diet: I am trying to live a healthy lifestyle. I believe that I need to do what I can live with for the long term. While I don't think of any foods as being off limits, at least in moderation , I admit I have a problem with sugar. I can go on some real binges, and it is hard to stop once I start.
I have some orthopedic problems, especially in my left knee and hip, so I try to limit anything that involves impact. I have gone from treadmill to Body Pump and spinning. Love both of them.
Looking forward to meeting people and getting to know how it works around here.

    Hello! I am also new this week to both this website and the fitbit! I am a little confused by it all, but I think in time I will understand. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

    I love my fitbit and love how it works with this site! I am also a sugar addict, but since tracking everything on here, I've been keeping it pretty in check. It's a hard road, but it's definitely been paying off! Good luck to you, and congrats on the 50 pounds you've already lost!

    Thanks you all for your posts. I'm just getting used to FitBit. Still trying to optimize how it is going to help me. I've already discovered that it is not a good tracker for some of the things I do since it is based on movement. Even so, I think it will help me in other respects, and I hope it is more helpful now that I can sync with a this site. I was not very successful with the food log on the FitBit site, so I hope this is better for me.
