Agree with the others. We all burn calories just by being alive, even if we do nothing all day. I personally don't eat my extra calories earned. I ate some a couple of times over the last week and my weight loss wasn't what I wanted it to be. I am happy with the amount I am allowed to eat so going to stick to that. When I…

This has made me laugh. Loving the expanations.

I do some nights. I stick to logging it as if it were a normal day. I just change the times I eat a bit. I don't take heavy meals into work. So on my first night I will not eat much, try to sleep during the day and then have a meal before work. I will take a sandwich and snacks into work. I go for low calorie snacks so I…

Good luck, that is a lot to lose in 18 weeks. I was to lose a similar amount but in 25 weeks.

Yes, I pretty much always get my 10,000 steps in. I have had my fit but for 4 weeks, I have only had 3 days that I haven't done over 10,000 and 2 of those were Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I go out for a walk to hit my step goals. Aiming for 100,000 this week and we'll on track for it.

Thank you. Will have a look at the thread but guess I will have to lose more weight to get rid of the belly fat. One step at a time though.

I work nights also, and am on nights tonight. I have prepared all my food for overnight so I don't get hungry when I get home. I treat it as any other shift really, although I wouldn't have anything heavy on a night shift.

I am around the same size and height as you - although a lot older! I am hoping to lose more than that by the summer but only because I know the first few weeks will be a higher loss then it will settle down to a more consistent weight loss each week. Just try to make sure most of your food is fresh healthy food and try…

Planning is they key for me. I work shifts so have to plan properly or I end up having nothing at work and hitting the tuck shop. I take a lot of carrot and cucumber sticks to work, which keeps me from snacking on other food. I try to have something with protein to keep me fuller. A favourite is a Linda McCartney red onion…

I don't eat mine, but as I am only walking for exercise at the moment I am not burning a massive amount. When I increase to running and burn a lot more calories I will eat some but not all of them. It will depend on how hungry I feel.

Well done. I lost too. I didn't really over indulge, just a few bits one evening. I certainly feel better for not spending days feeling bloated. Have also done a lot of walking to make sure I hit 10,000 steps a day and I a, sure that helped. Tonight though I will be over indulging. I am working nights and we are doing a…

I have the charge hr and I love it. I don't know how accurate the steps are but that doesn't really matter, it is getting me moving more. I go for a walk at least once a day in order to get to 10,000 steps and even if the step counter is out by a little bit I am still moving.

I don't worry too much about the other numbers at the moment as I have quite a lot to lose, but as the weight comes off and I get nearer to my goal weight I will try to use the other numbers more.

Me too. The more fit bit friends the better. Helps me keep going. amandadougan@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you. They sound great. Looking forward to getting some in the new year.

Thank you. I will think about getting some in the new year.

Just sent a friend request. Hoping to get some motivation from having friends on the fitbit

I think I have figured it out, if you go to the 'more' bit at the bottom right of the page where it goes to community, blog etc. At the bottom it says sync. It then shows the steps on your exercise page. It doesn't give me any extra calories but I figure that is because I only started this evening so haven't done many…

I'm having the same problem. Just set up my new fit bit and it isn't allowing me to do it. It says connect which I do, then nothing happens. It isn't showing my steps for the day. Tried google but nothing I can understand.

I am also a binge eater, or I restrict massively. Am hoping to break that cycle. Well done lizzierosebee. 4 days is a great achievement. Good luck to everyone else.

Wow, well done. That is amazing.
