I'm New - Need Friends

[CaliSeaBreeze]

Hi FitBits,

I just received my FBChargeHR today (Sunday and they delivered) and figured out the set-up and sync.  Now onto why my phone calls don't show on the device 😞

I see I need friends to help with challenges?  I only have 1 so far so please add me if you would like.

Long story short: I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis so can hardly walk, mostly bedridden, on drugs but they aren't helping - prednesone is one of them and I've packed on the weight.  I'm waiting on insurance to ok Enbrel and hopefully the biologic drug will work.  I used to hike in Yosemite, sand fast-walk at the beach, walk my dog 5 miles a day, travel, active...now this past 10 years of declining activity.  I am depressed and obese. Just found out I have kidney stones so need to try to drink a ton of water...it's hard since I'm not a drinker.  I love FB has a place to track water.

I am determined to do this.  I had given up on myself but now I want to try to get my life back. I don't want to lay here and die, I want to live.  I started using the food tracker to lose weight.  I love the site set-up and ability to track all areas of health.  I hope through the years I, too, will become a sucess story, with FB help. My dog would love that I get my health back...she's so lonely not having her mommy walk and play with her - She's a doll.

Take one day at a time and you will succed, there's always hope. The first step is wanting to be healthy, and you have hit that mark. Good luck, and hang in there........

@CaliSeaBreeze Great to see you here! Just wanted you to know that I've gone ahead and moved your recent topic "I'm New - Need Friends" to the Weight Loss board because it's more related to the topic. 

I love the picture of your dog, I think you may find this thread interesting, there's a lot of people sharing their pictures about how they enjoy going out with their dogs.
