    Can any one help please on what model is best ? Thank you in advance

    I can only comment on the Charge model, but I really like it! I've been keeping an eye on the steps and I've not had any problems with it adding it's own with just little wrist movements! Love the extra features of it being a watch, silent alarm and as well as alerting me to calls.

    I have it all connected to the fitbit app on my phone (as well as to MFP) so whenever I open the app it just connects itself through bluetooth and updates so I can see all the stats. It's super easy to set up, I doubt you'd have any problems :) Also the charge lasted for 8 days before it needed charging up and even then it only took about 20 minutes to fully charge.
    TETE Reporting in with a LOSS OF 2lb, TOTAL LOSS NOW IS 6.5lb, CURRENT WEIGHT 163.5lb.

    Just so NIM doesn't miss it :)

    Reporting a 1 lb loss this week. So I'm down to 169lb! :T Just aiming to lose 1lb a week atm. Slow and steady!

    Hi, bit late but can I join please. Bmi calculator says 4 stone to lose, myfitnesspal says I was 14stone 3 on 3 January. Still the 8 stone nothing I was pre- (now all adult) children in my very out of date mind, so need to face up and focus. We have holiday booked late May and I'd like to be well on the way towards 12 stone by then. My glass half full head tells me that's very doable if I can be rid of 2lb a week. Making that each and every week will be the challenge, says my glass half empty heart...
    Hope that's ok, and thanks for running this thread - must take a lot of your time!

    Reporting a STS this week but I have lost half inch off my waist, bust and thighs. My losses are slow too but inches are good. Trying to get the motivation to step my exercise up a gear so far have added an extra 2(ish) miles a day onto my weekdays hopefully I should see a loss next week.
    That voice in your head that says you can’t do this is a LIAR!

    Whoops week (fortnight!) for me, with a GAIN of 2.8lb :eek:
    Now at 173.6lb, which is still 0.8lb down on 1st Jan :)

    I rather suspect most of that will have been this last weekend, as it was my birthday on Friday (ate too many calories that day!) and then Sunday was GD3's birthday party (birthday was Saturday) which was held at a W@cky W@rehouse who way over-catered for 17 children (especially given most of them were under 4).... so parents, grandma and 'hangers-on' (my OH ;)) also got to tuck into hot dogs, popcorn chicken, garlic bread, fried chips, cheese butties, and ice-cream :o (That after I had a butty before going so that I wouldn't have to buy any food!)

    And I'm a Monday weigher, so didn't have time to burn any of it back off :eek:

    But I did go for a 9 mile walk on Monday, so hopefully it'll start coming off again by next weigh in :)

    Hi all, well done to all those who have lost. After pizzagate last week and not exercising due to not feeling great (and now a dodgy ankle) I've STS at 154lbs.

    Oh well, onwards and downwards this week hopefully!

    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I *think* it's a 1.6lb loss for me this week, I'm 155lbs now (or I was yesterday, which I'm counting, as I've been up most of the night coughing and drinking nearly 2 litres of water before I remembered weigh in) so I've lost 9.6lbs in January which I'm pleased with. Doubt this coming week will continue my trend though as it's my 30th on Sunday, which I fully intend to enjoy to the full assuming my cold/flu lurgy has lifted enough to actually enjoy anything other than sleeping.
