Throughout my day today I managed to get in my 3 miles and nearly 7,000 steps, which is great compared to my usual day. I sit at a desk all day typing, so there's not a lot of opportunity for walking around. My main goal is to simply increase that any way I can.

I'm totally in! Using my fitbit as well - https://www.fitbit.com/user/28J3YT

I know how you feel. I am hovering around 325-330 and seem t o have a harder time really sticking to it. I am terrible about logging my food, worse about actually drinking water, and it seems like I only stay really motivated when I have a good group of people around me. I've sent you a friend request :)

I only lost about 20 pounds and then regained it all, but decided to get it all done again. I have a reward system for myself set up for every 20 pounds. I am really, really bad about tracking my food so that's a goal for me, too! I sent a friend request. It looks like we can help motivate each other!

I hate salad and have had a terrible time finding something I like. I, fortunately, don't like ranch or other creamy dressings (which makes it easier). I found a pomegranate blueberry vinaigrette that I absolutely love. Litehouse makes it, but I can tell you that a substitution isn't going to be the same or scratch that…

I need to lose 180 pounds. Welcome to MFP! I sent you a request.

I ate an entire chocolate bunny today, starting at 8am. I don't eat an entire chocolate bunny every day, so it's not the end of the world.

I weigh every morning to get an idea of fluctuations, record with my friends in a support group once a week. I measure myself at the first of every month. Sometimes the scale doesn't seem to be moving, but the measurements will be encouraging.

I used to use BMF but got annoyed with it being on my arm. It made me really uncomfortable and I never got used to it being there. The tracking was fabulous, though. I have a FitBit now, but am planning on getting the Up3 if they ever get them manufactured and out.

Trying to get 180 off here. Feel free to add me! Could use all the support/motivation I can get.

I am Samantha and grew up being read epic fantasy novels every night. My parents wanted to start me off early. I will try almost any game, but I have a very strong preference toward RPG (console, PC, MMO, tabletop... gimme all of 'em). I am the Dungeon Master for my group that doesn't get together nearly enough, and I was…

Whining, for sure, but I have a whining buddy so it's all good.

Shark week is sometimes pretty rough for me and sometimes it's less difficult to get through. If I'm having a particularly bad week, I definitely slow down on the exercise and give myself a little leeway as far as getting moving every single day. I get some problematic cramps sometimes, though... the kind where it hurts to…

My birthday is not touched by silly things like calorie counting lol Really, though, I use my birthday as kind of a cheat day and just move on from there. I am focusing on not eating insane calories every single day of the year the rest of the time. Christmas and Thanksgiving also fall under this for me. One piece of cake…

This is such an inspiration. Congratulations on taking your life back! Thank you for sharing this story!

I am totally down if this group is still active?

My name is Samantha and as of writing this I must be on attempt number 563. My starting weight is 320 and according to the vast reaches of the internet that puts my BMI at 45.8. I am hoping to lose between 150-180 pounds to find myself at a healthy weight. I'm working with my doctor and a great support group of friends…

A few years ago I picked up an entire series because I liked the covers. It's called Fablehaven (also the title of the first book in the series) and I loved it. It's clearly geared at younger readers. The main character is 13 in the first book, with a younger brother, but I absolutely fell in love with it (I'm 28). It's…

I participate in NaNo every year and then work on Camp NaNo on the "off months" when it is offered. I have a 320 page novel finished and in the editing process and will be starting on the second novel in the series on April 1 for Camp NaNo. It gives me a little extra motivation to write when I have a set goal.

Hey! I am Samantha, and I am a reader and writer. My primary genres (for both) are fantasy and science-fiction. My mom and dad started reading The Hobbit to me when I was two, and the first book I really remember is LotR, which they started when I was four and used to help teach me to read. They read to me so much that…

I am currently in the process of reading and doing a chapter-by-chapter reaction blog to the 50 Shades series. After that's done, I am going to go back to my choice literature and read something new in the fantasy genre.

Indiana =/ Not that I like to admit it.

I don't have very many friends that use Fitbit, so I could use some extra motivation https://www.fitbit.com/user/28J3YT

It is definitely woth th money for me. I wear my Flex ALL the time and rely pretty heavily on it to change my calorie intake throughout the day. It's making a huge difference and I absolutely love it. Do not regret spending the money at all.

Always looking for more friends and support. I have 180 pounds to lose and am trying to become more active. Baby steps, but it's happening.

I add pretty much everyone, so yeah.
