Anyone use a fitbit one?



Recommended Posts

So I have really cracked down on myself. I purchsed a fitbit one and keep adding challeges for myself. If I log 2 miles this week walking daily I wanna see 2.5mi daily the next week. Am I crazy?

I also bought a body core media first but didnt care for it. I dont like having something strapped to my arm constantly. Fit bit straps to my bra and I dont even feel it.

I have a Fitbit and used to wear it religiously never taking it off except to shower. Now that I'm out of the habit, I keep forgetting to put it on.

I find it's a really useful tool. I tried to set goals for myself of 7000 steps a day. It's hard to get that many in with a sedentary desk job. But, I'm walking between 30-60 minutes a day on the treadmill now, so if I could remember to wear the dang thing I'm probably getting that many pretty easily now and should up my goal.

I have the fitbit too, and have a goal of 8,000 - 10,000 steps a day. I find it a great tool to keep me accountable for exercising.

I have a Fit Bit Flex and LOVE it. I have lost over 200 pounds in the last 18 months. I got the Fit Bit in February and it has helped me so much with my activity level. Great tool. I also sync with MFP. I think any WLS should come with one !

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
