This rain is playing havoc with my steps! The dog is exhausted from the extra walks that she is getting and my husband says that I am obsessed. The fitbit has a lot to answer for!

Welcome to all the newbies, you'll soon be addicted. Well, I'm quite pleased with myself this month, despite missing the first week as my fitbit had a rest while I went on hols. I was aiming to be in the top 10 and managed steps & miles but not activity. Not too shabby. Why is it that I am always knackered by the end of a weekend ? Roll on September !
I have really enjoyed competing with you all during my first month and I am shocked at how few steps I did before. This is due to time constraints but now I know I am stepping all around the house, often just before bed and I march on the spot when I'm watching tv. My fitbit downloads to MFP and in turn MFP gives me extra calories to play with. It's all good
My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly
Height 5'4"
Goal Achieved after 9 1/2 months and now maintaining
In a fasting mainteneers fivesome with pennyforthem, callyanna, stowgateresident and auriga

Like you, @Wendy Darling, I am shocked at how few steps I was doing before my Fitbit arrived. I have been going for a walk every day to up my steps but haven't yet tried marching in front of the TV! I have also discovered that I'm not very competitive - even with myself and am quite happy to have my daily target set at 7500. That is about 5000 more than I would have done before so I'm happy with that. Anyway, it's early days for me so I may yet find within me the urge to exercise more! Good luck to everyone for September and congratulations Caroline, @carieoates, on your success!
I was comfortably in my highest ever position (number 2!!) and then in the last week Susan steamed past me. Still happy with finishing at 3, and see I nearly hit 500,000 steps, so that's my goal for September. Even though it's a shorter month.
Sorry Katamac, I am back to training seriously for my 39 km trail race mid September and ran 65kms in total last week, so despite my 10 days off I still managed to rack up the steps. As a runner I really shouldn't count in the Fitbit challenge because I have an unfair advantage!
Haha, nah, all good. And that's a lot of running! I actually like having such a variety on activity levels on the board, think it makes it more interesting.
