in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm Cindy and I have been coming here off & on for a year and have gotten no where. I have to say I have never introduced myself or joined into the community. So I have decided that I need the inspiration of others going thru the same thing as I. I need motivation. I purchased the Fitbit One yesterday and I think if I get more involved in community here I will get the motivation to get my derriere out of this chair! I am a 66 year old retiree if that matters to anyone. About ten years ago I walked off 40 pounds and I need to do it again!

    Hi Cindy!

    I just started a few days ago, too! I will send you a friend request ;). I also just bought myself a fitbit flex and it literally arrived today! Once I get it set up (tonight) I will let you know about it! Good for you for coming here; I think the community really helps motivate. Everyone is very nice and it's a no judging zone for sure ;)
    Look forward to getting to know you!!!

    Hi Cindy! Good for you for trying to get involved in the community. I hope that you find it as beneficial as I have. There are great people on this site. =) I have a FitBit and really like it! It's great to see the progress I'm making physically and it actually motivates me to do a bit more when I see that I'm really close to my 10,000 steps. I also like the fact that it syncs with your MyFitnessPal account and tracks the calories that you've burned. Good luck on your journey!

    Hi Cindy...I know you can do it. Keep it simple and don't over complicate things.

    All that is needed to lose weight is a calorie deficit.

    I have read also that slow changes are better for long term weight loss. So maybe you can do that...once you get use to one adjustment you can make another and so on.

    Good Luck~!

    I sent a FR...anyone can add me. I have a FIt Bit Flex that I love and we can send request to be friends there too.

    Well you did it before you can definitely do it again. Just one day at a time. I am 46 and I have to make myself do this. Its not easy and I wish I had stayed fit but I hit my late twenties and stopped exercising raising kids, husband, school working it all distracts you but its time to take care of ourselves the kids are grown.
