Starting Out Small!

GunterRose · April 2014

Hi All,

I am starting out my journey by making small but meaningful changes. I've set a walking goal of 10,000 steps per day (up from around 4,500), and I am trying to track everything I eat. I'm not letting this stop me from eating what I love, but doing it smarter. I am using a FitBit Zip to track my steps (though it won't connect with MFP, I think it has to do with a firmware update that I need to replace the battery before I can complete). It helps that I recently adopted a rescue pup, so he and I do long walks before/after work. Feel free to add me if you would like!

Thanks!

Rose

I'm not sure, I got it from a work "Health & Wellness" event, they gave them to us for free! Which was very nice of them, though it has sat on my bathroom counter since August until I just started to use it this week.

A quick Amazon search here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1/179-1916472-3291666?rh=i:aps,k:fitbit+zip&keywords=fitbit+zip&ie=UTF8&qid=1397574637

The zip is around $50 (in stores and on line). They go up from there depending on what else they do.
I have been here for a few months and log daily.

Good luck. Add me if you want

Great, seeing the FitBit discussions is helpful! Looks like I'm not the only one with the sync problem!

Thank you all for the support!
