Any support groups for last 5 lbs?
Hi! I have about 5 last lbs I want to lose before summer. Does anyone know of any competitions or groups to join for support & community? Thanks! Also - any best practices for training brain to do deficits? My main problem is at the end of the day I sabotage myself, everyday. I tell myself, tomorrow will be easier.

Which Fitbit to buy?
i had a fitbit last year and stopped wearing it because the battery died so quickly and I also didn't want to wear a wrist band every day. But I see so many people on MFP are motivated and move more because of having one. I want to try it again. Which Fitbit do you have and why? Do any of you have the clip on? Is it worth…
