Stephanie2 - Since you mentioned you hope you get motivated, it won't do it for you. My sggestion is to keep doing what you've been doing for a week. Then note the steps, calories, miles, time or whatever you can best relate to for comparisons. You can compete with others. But be sure you find others that are a little above your. Obviously, you don't want to run a marathon next week for a goal just because someone else did!
Then the following week, try to increase your stats a little. Others and I have posted some articles to help you learn what you might aim for. Just be sure they include things YOU like. Some may argue certain exercises are better. But if you don't enjoy them, you will soon quit. But do switch to different activities. If you enjoy walking, use different routes and differen times. Discover what works well for you. For some it has to be the first thing in the morning. It doesn't matter when. "Just do it!" as the Nike commercials say. Networking with others can keep it fun -- and help hold you accountable so you keep at it. Nearby friends and neighbors can help keep you motivated. Or get online friends by clicking on their probile photo, go to their profile and click on the nearby invite link -- and add some personal background or whatever.
If you have questions about anything, reach out to the Communities. Answers may already be there from others that had the same questions. If not, ask. If you seen answers, vote for them or at least let them know it has resolved things for you. Or you can contact Support. If urgent, contact them by phone. Once things are set up and in motion, it should be easy. Just wearing your device should help to remind you to keep active: use the stairs more, park further away, do another round of exercise, etc. - Ron
