Hello All!

I ordered a Fitbit to help motivate me on this weight loss journey. Please join if you have a Fitbit and would like to challenge and motivate on another to be more active! I would love to lose about 50 lbs, but I have been trying to lose weight for all of my adult life, with no real success. So I'm setting my goal low. In an effort to stay in contact with members, and really help each other be accountable, I will close the group once it reaches 25 members. Comment if you are ready to commit, and shed some weight!!

    Hello I'm David.
    I've had my Fitbit blaze since May and have built up my steps. Having over 70 kg to lose I was advised walking would be my best option. My wife gave me the Fitbit for my 60th birthday.. I live in Wales and have a great choice of walking routes I tend to zigzag around my neighborhood. With my calorie intake reduced by 1000 kcal and walking 60,000 to 100,000 steps a week I can lose between 3 to 4 lb. I have tried to lose weight for several years and because I work shift I quickly tired and put the weight back on and more. Like you I have set small targets for my weight loss and general fitness. I use the gym for weight and strength training. I would like to join your group. Mostly I walk on my own and would like to support others and share motivation.

    Yay! My fitbit blaze should be delivered tomorrow, Thursday at the latest. cant wait to start using it! I will be collecting e-mail addresses also, as MFP isn't as easily accessible as e-mail is for me. I'm planning to send out meal planning ideas, daily motivation, and exercises also. Looking forward to conquering this journey with you, David!

    Hi! I just got my fitbit last week and have been wearing it ever since. I love it! Ivery been trying to lose weight since I got pregnant with my first little girl in 2008! Instead I've just packed on more pounds. My current goal is I want to lose 60lbs. I live rurally and it's hard to take walks wit 4 kiddos on our slightly busy road. However, it's kind of my only option. I'D love to join some others to help with motivation! MY email is mamavirnala@gmail.com if anyone wants to add me on fitbit.

    Hey there! I am going to add you right now. My email is joiastarr@gmail.com. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I've never been more motivated to move around! I love it too.. I set my daily goal at 15000, so far I'm at 5000, so we shall see how I finish. I sit down all day at work so I'd say I'm doing pretty good, so far! Lets get to stepping :smile:

    I love the blaze.. This is my first fitbit, so I can't compare it to any of the others, but along with the app on my phone, this is the best thing since the treadmill! I imagine the earlier versions of the fitbit do the same thing, however the convenience of the screen on the Blaze is awesome.. seeing everything in an instant is even more motivating! It definitely pushes me to be more active!
