New to Fitbit HIKER and Backpacker!

Hi there! I just got my new fitbit alta today! Just finished setting it up and cruising around with it for a few hours.

- I am wanting to get in good shape for hiking in Texas - Big Bend area as well as going back to my favorite Pacific Crest Trail. 

 

I was out there for a few months in 2014 hiking several hundreds of miles into the desert and burned down trees, then into the sierra.  Since I've left the trail, I've gotten sporadic with activity. I miss how fabulous I felt when super active hiking wach day!  I need to lose weight and I'm pretty motivated to do it. Would be even better with friends!

 

I'm 37 female and 5'7. Currently I'm just over half way through a 30 day Shred Dvd by Jillian Michaels. I've lost several inches all over bust waist hips - but not many lbs. Hoping the fitbit tracker with myfitnesspal together will be helpful. 

 

Anyone else out there want to be my friend? I'm super new- just now diving into these boards and I see people group up for challenges! AWESOME! I want to join! LOL

 

Okay take it easy!

Hi Minda/Levity, I'm also new to fitbit and enjoy hiking and urban exploration! How do you like the Alta? My mother was looking at one of those before she decided on a One like I've got. Everyone in the forums and dicussion community seems very friendly and helpful, I think you'll enjoy your stay!
