Looking for Weight Loss Buddies/Support!

[AngieAdams]

Hi I am new to Fitbit and the community. My dear husband got my my fitbit as a Christmas gift and am really excited about beginning this transformation into a new healthier lifestyle! I am 46 years old and after years of yoyo dieting and losing 100 lbs only to gain it all back, I had a major roadblock put up 5 years ago and have been stuck at 275 lbs since. I was diagnosed with several back issues, declared physically disabled by my doctors and was put on 360 percocet a month. In 2012, I moved to Ohio, weaned myself off all the meds my Texas drs had me on and thought I would just lose weight. I am physically active, but not quite enough yet to lose the amount of weight I need to lose. But I am determined to do this! On April 30 I will be in Washington DC participating in a 2 day 39 mile walk for breast cancer (a cause that is near and dear to my heart). So the time is now! No more excuses, no more laziness! Who's with me?

Hi Rahnfit, I have not weighed myself yet but my cloths feel loose.
Tommorow I am going to restart hopping the shoes I bought it will support me and will be pain free for my insanity workout.
How is it going ? Good luck you too.

Hi there,  I am 36. I am going for a walk every week day when I can and I go with 2 other friends for motivation. We encourage each other. It's hard but we are doing okay at the moment. We are in Melbourne.

Will do ☺

I lost 6 stone before but have gained back 3.5 of it 😱 Looking to loose it for good this time around. Would love to have more friends for motivation. All my real life friends are really skinny and have no idea of the struggles of weight loss! I've had an extended period of poor health too which has seen my daily steps drop from 10,000 to about 2,500. Trying to get back to 5,000 at the moment. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I just bought my new Aria and am trying to figure it out. I am closer to 70 than to 60 and I am determined not to lean on any more excuses regarding weight, exercise and really life in general! I hope to find some buddies to keep me accountable, although I know the one I really need to be accountable to is ME!

So Ive taken up water aerobic classes and walking. I have at least 50 pounds to my ideal weight, but I will be happy with just five at a time. 

Any advice for this grandma?

[fitkbj]

Hi Honsgirl! The fitbit can be a fun way to encourage exercise. I too have
about 50 lbs excess while not a grandma yet nor quite 60. I have the HR,
so not really familiar with the Aria but assume that the basics are the
same...

[Honsgirl]

Off to a good start! Got my Fitbit up and running and feel very positive!

I have enjoyed the Fitbit! Actually have been making the 250 steps every time me wrist buzzes me! Its not a lot but I've also been going to the gym and enjoying my aqua classes in this heat!

[fitkbj]

I love getting the badge awards for different things - it makes it a little
more fun!

Hey there, I know its been awhile.  Several of us with the Aria have been busy learning it's "Quirks".  It's a great scale for several reasons, but the best reason is that it updates to the FitBit dashboard all by itself.  If you run into any issues, just let us know, as I know it can be aggravating when the scale and phone and all don't want to play nicely together.

I weigh every day, but I fully expect to see the numbers vary by a pound or so each morning.  I'd recommend using the same time each day, either dressed or not, as long as you are consistent.  

Great job getting started!
