Hello,


I'm Sherri and have been battling my weight on and off for about 15 years. I have lost 75lbs in the past, but due to infertility issues, the stress and emotional eating that comes with my infertility struggle I have gained everything back (and a bit more).

My first goal is to lose 37 lbs and I am hoping to have it gone by early December. I know that this is a lofty goal, but I am very determined since I am renewing my vows and I want to wear a dress I really want and feel beautiful in, rather than something I have to wear because it fits.

I am brand new to using my Fitbit (my husband gave it to me for my birthday on July 16) so I would love to find others with similar goals to motivate and learn from each other as well!!

I am trying to get my health back after gaining from medical issues and stress. I had lost 115 lbs a few years back. Since December I put on 65 lbs and need it off ASAP so I got a fitbit too. I am loving it. You will love yours. It's so easy to use. Make sure to start logging your sleep patterns. I found out mine were way off. The fitbit helps to motivate to get some zzzz. That is so important for weightloss.

Hi Sherry - I'm new to fitbit this week!  Good luck on your goal!  I have a similar goal, so I thought I would respond and send you some encouragement.  So far, I have discovered that the fitbit makes it very easy to take the mystery out of weight loss.  I hated that the first day, but after that I fell in love with it.  Now I am on my 6th day of keeping my calories eaten under my calories used by 1,000/day.  I don't want to look back!

 

Again, good luck!
