Just getting started here, NEW to this challenge.
Data is for the past week of 2/29 - 3/5
Name: Nikki
Starting Weight, as of 3/8/16: 150.2
Goal weight: 135
Sleep: 8 hr, 5 min avg
Weekly steps: 68,071
Calories burned: 15,292/week. (Daily goal is 2288)
Weekly weight loss: 1.2 lbs past week -- that was a BIG loss for me. Usually average and aim for .75/lbs
Upped my calories last week for TOM, just under maintenance, which I've heard is also helpful in breaking a weight loss stall. Seems to have helped me, as I dropped more weight this past week. I'll be trying to take these "weight loss breaks" 1x/month for 3-5 days -- basically up my calories a bit to re-set and amp up my metabolism.0 -

New to the community & would like to join: I started to focus on losing weight again on Feb. 9th with my weight at 180 lbs. I wear my Fitbit, but never really pay attention to the info. I think this challenge will help me focus on that info & use it to help me in my daily life.

After breakfast, stick to water
At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That’s nearly 90,000 calories a year—or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don’t trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.

Hi everyone!! I've had my Fitbit HR for a little over a month and thought this challenge would be fun. I'm finishing my last semester of first year nursing school so probably won't be the most active this coming month due to studying my butt off and still recovering from a month long concussion. So here it goes...

Looking to loose about 15 pounds and need to really push myself in order to achieve that goal before next school year in the fall. So I am looking forward to joining you guys!

Walk
Walk before dinner and you’ll cut calories AND your appetite.
In a study of 10 obese women conducted at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, 20 minutes of walking reduced appetite and increased sensations of fullness as effectively as a light meal.0 -

I've been using my fitbit for 2 years and LOVE IT. Makes me accountable for moving more everyday.
Name: Kim
Starting Weight: 178.2 (Tuesday is weigh in)
Goal: 150 but I set smaller ones, currently is 165
Sleep: I don't track it because I don't like wearing it at night. I don't really sleep well however.
Daily Step Goal: 13000
Weekly: Average is 80,000-100,000 steps but I am constantly walking in my job
Weekly weight loss: 1-2lbs/wk
My suggestion is to find a group of friends and use the fitbit competitions. Our whole team competes every week and it's a great time to see everyone trying to out do the other person 0
