I'd like a fitbit but got so confused over the choice that I gave up (and sat back down!).
I go to 2 aquafit classes and a yoga class each week. There's something about being 'booked in' for them ie committed that helps. I couldn't just decide not to go.
I've got a basic step counter too and shock myself on some days how few steps I'm taking. On other days I'm surprised how far I seem to have accidentally walked. I now always take the stairs and we're a fourth floor flat.

You can see perhaps, why we are so well matched hmm

Perhaps you 'll have to do some walks by yourself,Maw!!

MOMB she’s a greyhound - the laziest breed on earth, they don’t call them 40mph couch potatoes for nothing! grin

I weigh myself every day which seems a bit obsessive but if I put on a pound I am immediately alerted and cut back. I would just plan to walk more and eat less. Keep it simple! Especially with Hattie - will she enjoy more walks?

The inevitable has happened- the eating and drinking over Christmas has nudged my weight over the next “boundary” (won’t say what it is) and I dare not wait until the New Year to start my attempt to get it under control, so I am using a JL voucher to buy a Fitbit in an attempt to motivate myself.
What advice can anybody give me on how to make this work for me? I know I spend far too much time on my backside and despite having Hattie do not walk (or exercise in any way ) nearly enough.
All suggestions gratefully received! ?‍♀️? ?‍♀️? ?‍♀️
