I'm new, I really need movement in my life. I love to garden and can spend countless hours outside...in the summer. But we've hit some record lows here, that goes from temps to mood.I need encouragement mostly. I know what to do, I just don't do it. My husband got a vivofit for Christmas, so this is where I'm starting. B)

    Hi. I'm looking for friends too. Im new to this site. My worst time starts at about 2-3:00pm all the way until I go to bed. My problem is sweets. I dont drink, do drugs or smoke. Food is my one pleasure and now I gotta watch what I eat. I have 40 pounds to loose. I never had a weight problem until I turned 46. I am going on 52. I do weigh and measure my food and even tho I went way off my food program yesterday, i logged it anyhow. Good luck to everyone!

    Please feel free to add me. I have the same issues, I love to work in the yard but lately I don't even have the energy for that. Hopefully we can keep each other motivated.

    I'd love to share! This Vivofit has been a great help , nothing I've tried has helped as much. It makes me accountable, I check it all day long.

    I just got my vivofit last night, I am glad to hear it gets you up and moving as that is what I need. Do you have any tips for me? I did seem to notice it gives some calories burned even when doing nothing, is that correct? thanks

    I have a vivofit as well and I do like it. I look at it several times a day. Love the fact that it monitors my sleep as well. Feel free to add me!

    I got a vivofit over the weekend and am totally obsessed with it. Love the "red-bar-of-shame" It makes me move when I wouldn't have previously. Feel free to add me. dwntwnpengrl

    I want to get a vivofit. It sounds like everyone likes theirs. Would you recommend I go and get one? Does it make a difference?

    I have lost 105 lbs and still have 145 to lose. Anyone can feel free to add me.

    Sounds like me. Three kids and before my six week check up with each one I was back to 100 lbs. realized my perfect weight 120 at 40, at age 45 or 46 started gaining. Here I am needing to lose 50 lbs. 2012 I had back surgery...that has left me in lots of pain. So, I got this vivofit and got some motivation to do it, I think it will help the pain if I'm lighter

    Do you know any one that has fibromyalgia ? I've been in a four day flare. I have'nt logged in my steps or any thing

    Hi. I also have fibromyalgia. I'm trying to lose weight and get fitter in the hope that it will help me keep my pain in check so my partner and I can try for a baby without having to risk taking meds during the pregnancy.

    Im just starting to diet and exercise lightly again after a series of flares, so if you fancy teaming up on here for a bit of encouragement and tip swapping, I'm your girl!

    I hope your flare ends soon and you start feeling better.

    Gentle hugs x
