Yeah for the orange and purple. GO Tigers!!!

It's a big change especially in your face. You're a cutie! Keep it up and thanks for the inspiration.

Nice, encouraging thread.

I've had my fitbit for 5 months and still love it. I love seeing the number of steps increase and seeing my idle time decrease. My husband and I challenge each other to see who can get the most number of floors, average number of steps per week or most badges. Just be realistic about what you get with the fitbit, it's a…

Wow!! Congrats!!! Thanks for giving the rest of us some inspiration and encouragement!!

I've been a member, but haven't really participated, but I'm on board for this week's challenge. Tuesday walked 3.54 miles

Congrats on 47 lbs!! It really shows in your hips and waist.

Love Trader Joe's. Just a few favorites. Fire roasted veggies frozen garlic shrimp Trek mix with cranberries Lemongrass chicken sticks (100 cals for 2) Garlic favor olive oil ( I make salad dressing with this) (Don't laugh too hard) Prune Walnut Log slices

You look great. It's encouraging to see how much difference 63lbs can make. Your waist looks really trim.

You look 10+ years younger. Keep up the good work.

Unless you have a higher than normal level of testosterone, you won't bulk up. I don't go to a gym, but work out with free weights. I use the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt. dvd. It has some compound lifts that target triceps, biceps, shoulders,... modified lunges for thighs, sides of the leg,, ...

That title made me smile and I just had to read it. Go You!!

BS in Building Science and Management ( aka Architectural Engineering) But my first choice for a career was to be a professional softball player, then I was going to major in music. I was undeclared my first year in college, but then transferred and had to declare a major. So I picked one I knew nothing about and that's…

Don't know where all the "mature" ladies are Age: 52 ( in a few months) Height: 5'4" SW: 258 CW: 236 GW: 135 Ultimate Goal Range: 120-130 ( I'll see when I get there)

Good advice posted so far. I started at home with a stationary bike / elliptical. At first it was hard to do 10 minutes. I was surprised at how out of shape I was. As of a couple of weeks ago I made the transition to walking outside. I love it. You can get a fitbit from a Best Buy or I ordered mine from Amazon. I made a…

What a great story! I love your passion for being fit. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!! Looking forward to the next update.

Try using a smartphone and download an app like Endomondo. It will track your route, average speed and gives you more data than you might like.

chunks of an apple or a pear, raw trail mix with or without cranberries.

We don't use it to track calories. . My husband and I use it, but in conjunction with our fitbits and he also uses a heart rate monitor.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert on weight loss. I did notice that you consumed cheese almost daily sometimes twice a day. For some folks cheese makes no difference. I have to watch the amount of cheese. For some odd reason, it slows down / stalls my weigh loss.

Did you have it in the wrist holder? Those 'steps' should show up as 'active.' You may want to check your sensitivity setting. One last suggestion is to post your question on the fitbit website.

Yes it does sync to android. The app is called Fit Wiz.

Oh My Goodness! You look great!!! Very inspiring!

I followed the Atkins diet years ago and lost about 40 lbs. 20 in one month, BUT I could not maintain and gained it (plus more) slowly back over the next year or two.

Hello fellow 50's !!! 51 soon to be 52 in 2 1/2 months. Sometimes the scale is not our friend. I look at my hard work and occasionally will think about how much easier it came off in my younger years. I have been so focused on the scale that I was shocked when I realized my hips were about 2 inches smaller. That was a…
