I'm loving it. I was actually shocked to see how much I don't move durning the work day. I now make sure I get up and walk around every hour. I set a daily goal' date=' so I try really hard to hit it everyday (not that I do, but I aim for it). I think it's the best investment I made in a long time.[/quote']

that's good to hear. can't wait until mine arrives next week. I think the first day I'll just do what normally do to give me a base and then start setting goals to increase each day.

That is a great idea, especially with the studies that state sitting too much leads to a shorter life.

Check out the Striiv. I love it. The Striiv Play syncs to an iPhone. Very motivating.

I got myself one in December and I love it. I get updates on my phone via the fit bit app. If I have not reached my daily step goal it will say something like " you have 200 more steps to go!" I love getting the progress reports also via email. It gives you a snap shot of how you did that week. Ive tried the sleeping function and it works but I always forget to turn it on. Great Investment!

I just got the UP band by jawbone. I love it. It does it all and it's a nice stylish band. One friend thought it was a nice leather Bracelet. It soon will link up with my fitness pal. I like how it buzzes every 15 minutes I'm idle. Research them all and see what fits your life style.

Good luck :)

I have a fitbit and love it! It is small and I can clip it on my bra and don't even notice it, but because it is so small I have to be careful not to loose it. I have almost thrown it in the wash a time or two because I forgot to unclip it from my bra.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
