    I'm in!
    Name: Sarah
    Starting Weight: 170ish
    Goal weight: 145ish
    Weekly or daily steps: My Flex is set at 9250 as my daily goal
    Weekly weight loss: MFP is set for 2 lb/wk but that's to make up for errors in logging on my end. I'm not super-focused on losing weight so much as being more active and living healthier.
    Rather than calorie burn goal, I have a workout goal of 4x/week of "real" workouts (in addition to trying to make my step goal).

    Drink Lemon Water

    Get in the routine of drinking warm lemon water every morning. Lemon water helps your body eliminate waste products while aiding in the body's digestive system. It detoxes your body, rejuvenates you skin, boosts your mood, cleanses your liver and helps relieves heart burn.

    Lemons contain:

    Vitamin C: Helps work against the common cold.

    Copper: reduces arthritis symptoms

    Magnesium: Essential for energy and helps regulate body temperature

    Potassium: Helps with disorders including, stress and anxiety, Also increases muscle strength and electrolytic functions.

    Good Morning Fitbit users. This thread is growing and any tips from seasoned users will be appreciated. Today I start tracking everything I can and making changes to my eating habits and upping the exercise. I look forward in the coming weeks to see the changes. I checked my Aria scales with my regular scales and it reads the same. Now I have to face the truth and get to working on losing those pounds and introducing new healthier habits. Thanks to fitbit and their wonderful apps this will be much easier. Today I start:

    Long Term Goal:165 lbs.

    Welcome all fitbit users. This is a challenge to help get you motivated to get up off the couch and get moving. Its a new year and you have your fitbit and no excuses for not using it. I just got my
    second fitbit( I first had the flex and then received the Surge for Christmas and decided it was to big and bulky and exchanged for the Charge HR and the Aria scale). I am ready to start the challenge Monday January 4th 2016. I thought it would be great to start a challenge.

    To make sure you get started off on the right foot, please post your weight on the same day each week with your progress and as often as you like with support and or tips on weight loss.
    include:

    Name:
    Starting Weight:
    Goal weight:
    Sleep:
    Weekly or daily steps:
    Calories burned:
    Weekly weight loss:

    I will post daily tips and highlight your weekly progress. Lets make this fun and a real challenge, we can do this.

    Thanks
    Izzy :)

    Hi all - Happy New Year! My goal is to be saying Happy New ME by this time next year!

    One tip I'm trying to get in my water each day: I set a goal of 4 bottles per day and am dating and numbering the caps each day to keep myself accountable. I set a goal of 100 bottles for January and am keeping the caps to count them on Jan 31. If I make my goal, I get a treat, maybe a pedicure, flowers, not sure what yet.

    Starting Weight: 208 (sigh... highest ever)
    Goal weight: 150 but would be happy with 160

    Weekly or daily steps: goal is 5,000 for the first few weeks, then up to 10,000 per day
    Calories burned: ?? will put in what fitbit says each week
    Weekly weight loss: goal is 1 - 1.5 lbs per week, will post actuals each week

    This is GREAT motivation. Let's see:
    Name: Tina
    Starting Weight: 168

    Weekly or daily steps: 10k minimum
    Calories burned: 1500-2100
    Weekly weight loss: 1 lb a week, but I'm working to slow things down since I'm only one pound from my upper goal range, and I've only five pounds to go to get to my goal weight. ^^

    Name: Kaitlyn
    Starting Weight: 154
    Goal weight: 135 (and maintain)
    Sleep: 8 hrs
    Weekly or daily steps: daily 8,000
    Calories burned: not quite sure what this means yet.
    Weekly weight loss: 1-1.5 lbs

    These are just my starting goals. Currently I am not active and have no physical activity. I would like to increase my goals and exercise more. I need support and motivation. I struggle with anxiety and depression and food is comforting. Over the holidays I probably gained 10 pounds. I am putting my foot down now BEFORE this becomes a problem.
    I am a young, busy mom with a daughter, working a full time job looking for a support group to lose a little weight, stay in shape and to make some friends.
