I have been using the FitBit since Mother's day last year and find it difficult to hit 10,000 steps everyday. I'm lucky if I hit it 2-3 days a week. I sit at a desk all day and don't get up as much as I used to. I need to focus on taking a walk around the office every hour and getting in 30 min. of walking (all at one time…

Been slacking off and not checking in on the challenges. Will definately be able to do todays. 1/2 - 155.2 1/9 - 153.6 1/16 - 1/23 - 1/30 - 2/6 - 2/13 - 2/20 -

Mon-Wed-Fri I do 40min on the eliptical trainer. Tues-Thur- Sat or Sun I do 20-30 min weight training. I am going to incorporate at least one set of the day 2 challenge as well. I also usually walk our local swap meet either on Sat or Sun. I know it is not great cardio (because of the pace), but I still think it's better…

Thanks for posting a day ahead. I did my ususal 35 min. eliptical workout this morning and then added one of the 10 min ab workouts that I have on DVD. On top of all that I rode my bike to work (only 2.2 miles each way). Feeling really good today!

Didn't get to the challenge posted for today. Sounds like a good workout. Maybe I will start incorporating it into my Tues/Thur AM workouts. I did do a 20min workout with free weights and a Smith machine this morning. Then I took 2 15 min breaks (one in the AM & one in the PM) at work today and walked on the treadmill.…

I got the FitBit last Mother's day and wear it almost every day. I do like the motivation it gives me and the fact that you can set a timer for your workouts to see how many calories you burn. I am glad it links to MFP so I don't have to enter info on two different websites.

Well I missed that. Didn't check the blog until today (1/3). I'll be better about checking in daily. Also started the challenge rather badly as we had a new person start here at work and the M.O. is to take them to lunch. Rather than check the menu before I got there I went a head and order a BBQ chicken wrap only to find…

SW: 156 Chest: 37.5 Waist: 32.5 Hips: 40.5 Thigh: 23.8 Body Fat %: 35.6 (according to my scale) My goal is to get down to 145 by the end of the 50 days and eventually to b/t 135-140 I also need to find a way to get rid of my belly fat. I look 3 months pregnant all the time and am sick of it! (no offense to pregant women)

Thought I posted my goals earlier but I don't see them so here goes: 1. To excercise more frequently and intensely 2. To lose at least 10 lbs. 3. To NOT eat mindlessly! (just ate 2 oatmeal raisin cookies because they were there!) 4. To take time for ME!!!!!!!

Thanks for adding me. My name is Lisa. I'll be 49 in a few weeks and have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds for the past 17 years (ever since my last child was born; I gained 50lbs with him!). I think of myself as an active person- love to walk, ride bikes, hike. I currently workout about 3-5 days/week (3 days using an…

I like your ticker. Are those pics of you or a computer animation of what you would like like at your goal weight? I'd love to set one up like that! OOPS! Thought I was posting this on someone else's post. Not sure how to do that.

Please count me in. I need all the motivation I can get. I've been stuck on this plateu far too long! What do I need to do to take part?

Hi. My name is Lisa and I am new to this group and new to FitBit (got mine for Mother's Day). What I'd like to know is how you manage to walk so many steps? The only way I can get at least 10k is to take a dedicated walk before, during or after work for 20-30 min. I have a desk job and try to get up often and walk around,…

I feel I am in the same boat. It seems the more I watch my calorie intake and work out, the harder it has become to lose weight. My mom just let me borrow the new Jillian Michaels book callled Master Your Metabolism. I am only thru the first chapter, but so far I like what I am reading and I heard it is a really good book.…

That's a great idea. I will definately have to try it.

Hello to everyone. I think this is a good thing and hope it helps a lot of people. Name: Lisa A little bit about me: I joined MFP about a month ago and did really well logging my food and exercise but got discouraged when what I thought I was eating wasn't too bad and then realized I was eating well over 1500 cal/day (when…

My favorite is the honey whole wheat with a bit of jam on top (no butter necessary).
