I have had my Fitbit for about 10 days. I have a control issue and am working on that so I set my goal low until I am able to get some weightloss mojo going!

Challenge new-bie here:

 

USW - 289 12/25/14

CSW - 259

GW - 252

UGW - 229?

 

Maybe this will help me off the plateau.  Got to the 250s in May, but beer at the lake was my summer excuse.  Boat's all winterized, so I guess I should be too!  No more excuses!

New here.... been struggling with my weight for years.  Tried to put some jeans on and once again too tight...  I have over 20 pairs that would fit if I would just start losing.  I am not buying new jeans!!!!  My goal is to wear the clothes I own already! LOL

I agree, tired of buying new clothes all the time.  I just need to be more motivated to lose that weight to fit into the clothes that I have. Smiley Happy

What does "Spoiler" mean?  I entered my city and state and country and when I checked back today, there was that word and the information was gone?  OOPS!  I went back to the edit screen, and the spoiler thing is probably something I hit inadvertently.  Pretty embarrassing.  I am FitBit message challenged.  🐵

I find going to the gym or on a nice day I will go to the park and walk directly from work.  If I go home I know I will not leave because something will always need my attention.

I find that stopping at the gym or taking a walk in the park directly after
work is best for me. If I go home I will not leave again
because something always requires my attention.
