HI! First I want to say congratulations on taking steps to be healthier for you! A friend once told me (when I was lamenting about my weight) that I wasn't going to see real change until I decided to do it for myself. She was right! Like many others, I have been on the up and down roller coaster of weight gain, loss and regain, tried many types of diets, and have struggled with motivation to exercise. I am doing much better now, because of a new mantra -"Healthy me!" It must be healthy for me or I won't eat it/do it. A big motivator for me came from watching my younger sister ignore her health problems and wind up with a stroke, heart problems and being forced to cut work to part time. She told me that all the things that she did for everyone else instead of herself for years really didn't matter in the long run, since she is now dealing with the result of not taking care of herself. "Bam" it hit me in the head that getting healthier can't start too soon for any of us! I got my Fitbit on March 29 and find it motivates me a lot, but I need more friends to keep me challenged and motivated. I would love to be a buddy to you if you want!
I also want to tell you about a plan I started that is healthy and gives results - the Fast Metabolism Diet. I found it by researching the healthiest diets out there, because I don't want to just lose weight to gain it back (been there done that too many times!) I want to get healthier while losing it. This plan is not a fad diet, it is based on real science, real food and lots of it! Our metabolism gets broken when we diet too much, so you have to eat enough food and support your organs to heal the metabolism. This means you eat a lot of healthy foods and avoid everything that is toxic to your body, which takes a lot of label reading and commitment. But if you are serious about getting healthier and losing weight at the same time, you might want to check it our. There is a website and lots of reviews on it, author is Halie Pomroy.
If you want to buddy up on Fitbit, that would be great, if you wnat know more about the FMD, let me know and I will be glad to help on that as well. My diet suggestion is working for me, it may not for you. Whatever you do in your journey, I wish you luck!

I'm new to Fitbit and very seriously trying to lose some weight, I have at least 100 pounds to lose.
My boyfriend has been very supportive to me and is dieting/exercising as well but I definitely need an outside weight loss buddy.
Anybody!
Let's do this together, guys! 😄
