I have been loosing weight. I was 194 at the start of the year and got down to 165. I have been stuck there for  while now. I bought this in hope of helping to get back on track. I also go my husband to do this and my daughter starts next month. However, I am still feeling sluggish and need tips to loose the last bit of weight and stay motivated.

Congrats on your weight loss...that is so awesome.  I just got my flex a few weeks ago.  I think what is motivating to me is that I wear it all the time so I love to check and see how many steps I am getting.  This has also encouraged me to exercise more vigorously to get more steps and my overall movement and walking has also increased greatly.  I have also built up a friend list and enjoy checking if I am ahead of my friends or not and what I can do to catch up.  I am also logging my food which is helping me to know if I am in a good zone to promote weight loss.  It is great that you have your family involved...that is great motivation already.  Best of luck!  Feel free to add me if you like.

I am about your weight and I started off at 215. What motivated me was how my clothes fit (new clothes!) and comparing how I looked before.  

You can also find fittness buddies to help motivate you in the activity groups. The groups have a lot of people who help motivate you!

Go to your fitbit profile and click "add friend".

 

This article gives you a bit more on how to do it if you are stuck.

Fitbit is a little harder than I expected. The techs need to meet up w FB to make it user friendly. LOL
