We’re all trying to lose a little weight (I think), and I’ve needed some assistance, or accountability to keep me on track. The website, Fitbit, is helping me do that.
I do better at sticking with things when I can track them (whether it’s groceries, packing for a trip, errands) and this site has sucked me in. You create a free account with Fitbit and then log all the information you want in a dashboard (weight, food, sleep, mood, measurements, and exercise) and it charts your progression. It even does the math for you if you plug in weight loss goal and time frame, it will give you calories and exercise level required.
I first found the website because I read about their new scale (available in May- I pre-ordered it because my scale just broke) which records weight, BMI, fat, and then wirelessly sends it to your dashboard on Fitbit.
The reason I like the website so much is that it has everything, AND it’s a nice clean design (like Apple for weight loss).


I logged in my weight goal and time frame (a generous 6 months), and right now it’s kind of comical because I’m only supposed to be consuming 1000 calories a day (I haven’t been recording my exercise, which would affect my calorie intake, so the machine basically thinks I sit on my ass all day). So it’s funny when I have a cappuccino, a sandwich, and some nuts by 1pm and it says I can only consume 87 more calorie for the rest of the day.
It’s free for the basic subscription. I’ve been doing it for a few weeks now, and I wanted to see if it would stick before I recommended it to you all. I really do love it, and I am hoping when I get the scale it will inspire me even more. I hope…
