New to FitBit - Over 100+ lbs. to lose...

[MrsDMACS]

Hi, I'm new to FitBit!  Just joined today and am excited to have the FitBit so that I can see my progress in numbers.  I'm a data girl....the more the better for me. 

I was wondering if there is anyone that would like a "buddy" on their weight loss journey.  I have the support of my loving family and would also like to find some cyber FitBit friends to share with (and help keep me accountable!)  I have over 100 lbs to lose and will be taking it one day at a time.

Good Morning to All,

I will be 60 this year and I now think those comments I have heard about the older you are the harder is it to lose weight

I too am new here to this forum with at least 100 to lose and already struggling with my sugar addictions 

I look forward to any help - advice and suggestions that will hopefully be shared here 

As I don't have any support by my Family as they have heard all my promises & hopes of loosing weight before - way too many times

I plateaued at losing 131lbs (doctor said nothing left to lose LOL).  Just be careful, listen to yoru body, and substitute instead of denying!  Sugar rush can be gotten by a handful of grapes or a whole orange and the best part, since the calorie count is a helluva lot less then a Snickers bar, you can indulge more in them!

Invest one hour a day to doing something active and easy like walking - start with a mile to a couple miles.  Then go for 3 miles, then 4!  It's not overnight but investing one hour pays dividends on your weight loss journey!

Friend me if you'd like some encouragement!

Don't give up. I too have tried many times and I know family sometimes stops believing. I now have high blood pressure and need to lose to bring it down. This is our opportunity to show ourselves as well as everyone we are serious about making a change. You can add me as a friend if you like.

Just got my FitBit today and am just exploring.  I am 47 with bad knees and 104 pounds to lose.  Looking for friends and support.  Anyone?

[centenoni]

Hello you can add me as friend if you like. I am 44 and need to lose 100lbs. Always helps to have lots of support

Hi! I've had my Fitbit One for about a week now. At 32, I have at least 150 lbs to lose total but would like to lose at least 50 for the year (no complaints if I lose more, just trying to be a little realistic). Would love friends for motivation but don't know how to add. Feel free to add me!

I have around 100 pounds I need to lose and need fitbit buddies to keep me motivated and on track.

Hi! welcome! I just strapped my Fitbit on last week, so I'm a newbie also.

I need to TRACK my food intake. Sometimes I forget, sometimes I get lazy ... let's help each other.

Feel free to add me if you like. Just started on here myself and I have 160lbs to lose. When you hit the 100+lbs overweight mark there are a number of issues that only others in the same situation can relate to.

Of course. Let's connect!

Sorry I'm not a good partner right now...busy with work, a musical, family and keeping track of my own journey. Maybe in April.

I have about 100 to lose as well. Hoping that the fitbit app and challenges will keep me on track. Would love to have the support of others as I go through this journey!

[centenoni]

Great job! I also have lost some weight started bout same time. I have lost 15 pounds already. It just has motivated me to keep on going that it can be done with a bit of effort and motivation we can get there.
