i started using fit bit in June and have lost 65 lbs i weighed in at 365 lbs.
It was not easy first had to reduce the fast food to a couple times a week and got rid of soda. That was the hardest. But the biggest thing is that you want to do it for you. I had a wake up call when my uncle died at 57 and weighed 400lbs. I am currently 52 so i knew i needed a change. Remember to take little steps it takes 2 weeks roughly for something to become habit. Once you have the one thing down and doing it regular and not having to remind yourself to do it move on to the next. There are a lot of people on here that will help you succeed but you have to want to succeed and want to make a change. You need to help yourself before others can help you.

Hey @Love0102 ! I've been on the same road and I started on may 1st. So far I've lost 35+ pounds despite being out from surgery for 2 months. To keep track of your journey, get a journal, open a blog, write it out!
I like to motivate myself and measure my progress by having a rewards board, every 5 pounds I treat myself with something. Even if it's a cup of my favorite tea, a free book or a night out for a walk; they don't really have to be expensive or even have a pricetag.
Also, I had a bit of a shopping problem and just got out of a financial pickle; so now I hit 2 birds with one stone since I "pay" for my pounds, every pound lost is $1, every pound gained is $10, every pound stalled is $5. Every day over 10,000 steps is $1 and every day under 10,000 steps is $3. Any NSV is $1 and every day over my limit is $2. I am getting a pretty epic cash fund
