Hi there! You are in the same boat as my grandson. Its tough. He gets out to his job and is around people there, but at home he's in front of his computer where he meets with a couple of friends online in the gaming world. I applaud your efforts to turn your life around! I'm here for you if you need me, although I probably don't check in on Fitbit Community more than once a day.
I'm a 70-year-old married female who lives in the Pacific Northwest. My son and grandson live with us and have for the past 20 years (since my grandson was a baby). I didn't become overweight until I became pregnant in 1977, lost that weight, got pregnant in 1979 and lost most of that weight, and then slowly gained over the years. I got my first fitbit around 15 years ago and have advanced to a couple of different models over the years, and got pretty good steps in, and kept my weight steady, but overweight. I lost some weight for my other son's wedding, but then during COVID gained 30 pounds back. I was my highest weight, 206 pounds, at that time. Since then I've lost the 30 pounds by watching what I eat and getting my steps in. I'd say the diet is the most important thing. I eat 1,200 calories a day of mostly vegetables, a little fruit, nearly no starch, and some protein. Having ice cream or a cookie is a rare treat.
I don't know if you wanted to hear all that or not, but that's an introduction.
