About two weeks ago I received an email from Fitbit telling me a bit about my achievements for 2017. The numbers reflect my stats from about mid-May (I received my Fitbit device for Mother’s Day)
The stats are interesting to see but, as I look at them, they are just numbers to me with no meaning. What I do see, though, is the effort that I have put into moving my body. Hopefully I can continue with my goal to increase my physical activity so that it can impact on my weight loss. I guess next year’s stats will show me how much I have increased the number of steps I have taken as well as the amount of calories that I have burned.
If you use a Fitbit, how do your stats compare?

Bravo, Colline. I had a Fitbit, but lost it in a move. After a few months of using one, I can estimate if I’ve done too few steps and can make up for it. It’s not precise, but that’s fine for me. Keep up the good work.

I would be able to that as well now as I know what it takes to reach my goal.

Well done Colline, as long as you are walking you are breathing, and breathing is the secret elixir to life.

It is so easy to remain on the couch, isn’t it Ian? At least when I am working I do walk around a bit – some days more than others.

My Wife and I bought each other Fitbits for Christmas – might have some stats for you next year 😉 I tend to aim more for the 5 days of exercise each week as 10000 steps each day is a bit more challenging when you have retired (no commute to boost the stats). I think the Fitbit is very handy to keep you motivated – it’s all too easy to slack off without realising is you haven’t got a ‘spy in the cab’ 😉

It certainly helps to keep me motivated – and the little reminder to keep moving does help even if I get off my chair to go grab a glass of water 🙂

I just upgraded from my Garmin to a Fitbit! It’s, by far, the best decision I’ve had for 2018. My officemates and I have this workweek challenge and it definitely motivates me to walk around. It’s so easy to just sit when at work.

It is encouraging when everyone at work participates – then everyone understands why you are getting up every hour 🙂
