Have you lost weight since you got your Fitbit?

[Rnda]

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've used fitness trackers for over 7 years. I started with a Polar, then moved to Fitbit, and since October have use a Samsung watch, which has more accurate heart rate tracking, the metric I care about the most (my Fitbit would often lose my heart rate during vigorous exercise). 

I use trackers to motivate me to move more, climb a few more stairs, and to regulate my heart rate during high intensity sessions. I don't put much stock in steps or calories counts -- I care more about the quality of my exercise and general activity throughout the day.

My weight fluctuated for years. I would lose 30 lbs, regain 35, lose another 35, regain 40. But for nearly two years now, since I focused on insulin index of my food and introduced intermittent fasting, the weight hasn't come back. I fact, my body fat continues to drop, to the point where 32W pants are loose on me. I started out as 38W+! I'm not  a small guy either -- 6'2".

Ok that is nice.. how long have you been using Fitbit?

[Gimpycat]

Over 5 years. But I recently bought a Samsung watch and gave my Fitbit to my sister.

I have lost weight but you need to increase your steps each week, and watch your calorie intake. When you get up to 7,000 and 10,000 steps a day you should start to see a weight loss.

[Nybrighteyes]

I started out at 153 and I am 132 it took me a year and a half to get the weight off!

Love my FITBIT

Only when I exercise.  I was in the ideal range of I can't remember what you call it--a ratio between height and weight in metric terms.  Then I backslid and ate tons of jelly beans and dropped in the level of exercise--and poof, the weight loss disappeared.  If I do 10,000 steps a day and eat a tiny bit of protein, no jelly beans, and tons of vegetables, I regain a good BMI (I remembered) Body Mass Index.  I am very used to the 10,000 steps a day, and it is relatively easy to get back on track.  I am 78 years old and a former jogger.  Ran the NYC Marathon once.  When I am thin, people tell me how young I look.

Happy Mother's Day to you too! I used to have a hard time gaining wait but
now I am constantly struggling to lose weight. I am trying to eat healthier
and focusing on a low carb diet, which I have done in the past. Just
noticed if I cut out gluten in my diet, I don't crave sweets and
chocolate. This is a major breakthrough for me. I've been walking outside
and doing YouTube videos while at home. Hope you're doing well, too.

[EleanorNC]

I want to get back to 10,000 steps today. Will try to do it in increments
pf 2000 steps. Also there is a fitness class (Zoom) online at around
noon. Goals: 10,000 steps and fitness class.

Ive been wearing Fitbits for 3 years and lost 45#. I make sure no matter what that i get my 1000 a day. If i get stuck inside use my  elliptical and convert the steps with a ZIP. there are conversioncharts all over the internet.

[Gimpycat]

Jelly beans are the worst! Highest on the insulin index -- even higher than
table sugar. I know this because they were my downfall as well.

[Cathy2020]

I bought my inspire HR two months ago using curbside pickup, I lost 12 pounds these two months, from 158 lbs to 146 lbs. I used to walk over 10,000 every day and frequently joined zumba classes, but still cannot control weight. With fitbit app now I know the problem is food, some "healthy" food actually very high in calories. I was so surprised to know one of my favorite dishes (kind of bean) is actually 1000 calories in one serving.
