A Fitbit Foray...the two month report

I've had my Fitbit now for nine weeks, and I must say it's been a great experience.  I'm regularly achieving my 10,000 steps per day and without strictly following a lower calorie diet, I've dropped five pounds.

It does take effort, however;  there's no getting around it.  It has taken not only concentrated effort, but also about an hour extra of my time that I would normally spend in a much less active manner.

There is natural motivation built in to the device which it does by showing bright little lights and a buzzing sensation when the goal is met.  It also helped me  to do challenges and compare stats with friends.  The little badges are cute, too.

For now, I plan to continue this foray and will pop in from time to time to let you know the outcome!
