Hello I just joined. I am 63 and very excited that my fitbit force came today. I have lost 20 lbs since mid Sept just by going to gym 3 or 4 times a week with my longtime workout buddy to do elliptical, weights and yoga for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and biking with my dogs, and gardening. I hit a plateau in weight loss over the holidays so I am hoping the Force will be with me to push past this! I also ordered a hr monitor which should come soon. I also stopped my statins since Sept which I think helped. I feel much better.

I'm also 63 and working with a PT and trying to go to the gyn 4-5 times a week. I have a long journey but i've begun it and that is the first step. Welcome to fitbit, let's support each other!

Took statins for about a month and had a bad reaction so I educated myself about Cholesterol and pitched the Rx. Feeling good and would be even better if I can shed 10 lbs. Walking 3 miles a day and watching the calorie intake. Love the bracelet especially when it vibrates. 🙂

What did you change in crosstraining - i love the eliptical and the bike which I do at the gym with weights and treadmill every night at home - but the cross training is what I need - my body definately adjusts to the exercise routines

I'm soon to be 60. Got my fitbit for Christmas from my husband. I have lost 110 lbs on the Medifast program since Sept 2013 and have about 40 more to go. I joined a gym and got a personsal trainer who started me doing pilates. And i started walking again and reach 3 miles per walk. I work from home so getting myself active during the day is challenging. I've been using myfitness pal to track food intake and Endumundo to track my activity. I never linked the two of them. With fitbit I've linked to both so I'll see how that works out. I love how fitbit tells me how many floors I've gone up. This is a huge change for me where I would plan ahead and limit the numbers of times I had to go up and down the stairs. Now I have a goal of ten floors per day. I hit 13 yesterday!!! I'm facing knee replacement surgery in a couple of months and am really motivated to get this last 40lbs off!

I am new to the Fitbit. I bought it a couple of months ago, but just set it up last week. Talk about procrastinating! LOL Seriously I have to start taking time for me and I need all the help and motivation I can get. I never say no to the kids and grandkids and I also have to deal with an elderly mother and a husband who has an end stage disease. Also I work full time. I recently had a knee replacement and after talking with my doctor, I realized that I need to be more active, lose weight and get healthier. So I guess I am just looking for some motivation and inspiration from all of you fellow fitbit users.
Have a great evening! Peggy

I am an older woman and have lost 40 pounds with my Fitbit - I walked 3,000 miles last year. I have had a great time and feel so much better. We have a group on Facebook that motivates us to be accountable - look us up if you have time.
