Reward--FitBit. 100 lb loss Topic

Hi,
I rewarded myself with a FitBit Versa for losing 100.4 lbs! I've never owned a "tracking" device before, so, I'm so excited about this!!

My Versa will track my walking, my elliptical workouts, and my swimming in the gym's heated pool (not that I need a heated pool right now..haha--today, again, the heat index is going to be from 108--112).

Hi Amykee1,

That is exciting! Trackers can make it fun and be very useful tools for challenging ourselves!

It is so funny, I just saw your post here after I responded to your other post telling us you lost 100 lb! You beat me to it, I told you to make sure you rewarded yourself:) So important for all of us to treat ourselves with non-food rewards for our hard work! It is also a valuable skill to expand treating ourselves outside of the food realm.

Proud of you! Brenda (Dietitian)

Yes Brenda, in the past, food was my way of celebrating something. I didn't know, until I just read your post above, that it is a learned "skill" to learning how to reward yourself without anything related to food. That's quite interesting. Thanks so much for sharing that with me Brenda!! LOL, I want MORE INFORMATION, more, more, more on all kinds of things *smiling*

Amykee1 , I have to warn you about the Fitbit: it is addictive! My sister got me the Charge 2 for Christmas and I LOVE it! I've just recently seriously buckled down and got back into working out hard and I love seeing the calories burned. When the battery gets low I try to charge it over night so that I can have it set for the next morning. LOL.

Congrats on the weight loss!

I recently did a extensive exercise on the Fitbit and was wondering if there is anyway to sync it here

I wanted to add the calories I burned
