@Denwoman you could put Fitbit in the search box or you could just read every post until your eyes cross or you can just click here exercise-f24/fitbit-chat-for-month-of-october-t8645.html :)

Hi there. Just one question for you. Do you know what a fitbit is ? If yes, you find us on the fitbit sites forum list. If no then welcome to a new world of even more fun

Actually carieoates I have no idea what a fitbit is. I will have to investigate. Sounds intriguing ...

Hi Denwoman and welcome,

Like your good self this is the first chat room thing I've ever joined and I also do not do twitter, Facebook or any of the other numerous sites which are available. I love it here, we have lots of fun and sometimes laughing the weight off is the only thing that works, but hey, if it works, it WORKS!!!!

Have a good look around and ask as many daft questions as you want to and most importantly, enjoy yourself whilst reaching your ideal weight,

Ballerina x :heart:

Had a feeling, you'd say that. Don't know why, but I too had never heard of it till I joined the 5.2 forum. Fitbit is a little device which you attach to yourself which monitors your activity and some of them do sleep monitoring also. The British heart foundation recommends 10k steps a day to help prevent disease.
It's by Nike and when you activate it you can join groups to compare/compete or just try and improve your fitness levels. We have a 5.2 group and it's just amazing how we all aspire to do better, and that's about all really. I got mine off ebay a second hand one as new for £42 it's called a fitbit one. There are many types and they vary enormously in price but if I leave home without it I am gutted as most days I clock up about 6k steps just at my part time job.

Welcome to the group, I like you am stuck on a plateau weight, but am not going to change what has worked and just need to watch the feast days and keep my exercise up.
Hope they have made progress on the fires there, wish I could send some of our Vancouver fog your way.

Thanks for the info on the fitbit carieoates. Sounds like it works really well. Will def look into it

Shbldr your Vancouver fog would be very welcome but would really love some rain if you have some to spare to put these fires out! It's ok down in Sydney but awful for the blue mountain folk
