I am the exact same weight as I was when I got my Flex 3 1/2 months ago!
How about you?
I'm hoping with Spring here and Summer around the corner, that my walking will increase.

I lost 100 pounds with mine. I have now kept that weight off for almost 3 years. I walk about 32-35000 steps a day. Count every calorie Sunday through Thursday. The I have Fat Friday and Sow Saturday and eat whatever I want.

32,000 steps a day? Wow. I walk 12K or more for almost 18 months
straight. That has helped me to keep my weight regain to a pretty small
amount. Everyone thinks I am walk crazy @ 12K a day.

I try to do 12-15K steps daily. Most I've done so far was 25K.

That is wonderful Carezy, keep going
My fitness has increased and so has my weight ... not to happy about that and really do not want to start a "starvation diet" again : (

24 kilometres a day is a lot per day, even 12km! At this stage I am not able to do this with the business I am running ... would like to get somewhere inbetween and not have to do a "starvation diet" to start losing the weight!?

Yep, I will get back on the calorie count (MyFitnessPal worked last time and then I went on holidays and let it all go again ... hmmmmmmm)
I am happy with the fact that my fitness level has increased since using the fitbit, but the weight has gone up too!?
Time to take action!
@FrannieMawrote:
That is a lot of steps...I do 20,000 a day.
I count calories 7 days a week...I don’t trust myself to splurge on the weekends. I eat what I want...just moderation and have altered recipes to fit my calorie intake. My husband says he can’t tell the difference, but I save 200 to 300 calories by altering the recipes.

Good for you. I'm down 34 lbs since Dec. 1. I have no desire for fat Fridays or sow saturdays now or in the future. I follow Harry's Rules. Except I lift three days a week.

Another month has drifted by & I have lost another pound for a total loss of 21 over 10 months. I am now half way to my target. I tried walking a few laps on the indoor track at the gym with a 10lb kettlebell in each hand, about the amount of weight I have lost. It was much harder than I remember so I guess I have lost muscle along with the weight.
I bought myself an Aria 2 scale and I am quite pleased with it. Someone at Fitbit things it takes 2 minutes to set up. It took me 95 and I have so far been unable to add a second person.

@reuelwrote:Fitbit is a tool .... ultimately, its still on us.
and yes, i have been losing weight before fitbit, and i have been losing weight a lot better with fitbit. i never knew my non workout days burn more calories than my gym days. and that is because i fidget/walk 3x as much with those non-workout days... those really add up!
I also was shocked to learn that my burn was about the same on workout/no workout days! I think I give myself a lot of rest and recovery time after a workout that I normally spend bustin it to get stuff done. I keep the workouts because I think some high intensity cardio and heavy lifting is good for heart health and muscle tone. But still...it's kind of cool to know that I'm burning some real calories just doing good old fashioned work.

I'm curious, how did you come to that conclusion? I ask because on a non-workout day, say last Sunday, I only burned 2,303 calories, however, on a full workout day, say yesterday, I burned 4,206 calories; pretty much a completely different ball game.
