Anyone else with 2.5 stone (15kg) to lose?

Hello,
I was wondering if there were a few people who have a similar amount of weight to lose as me who would like to join a little support group.
I find the massive threads a bit overwhelming, and can't relate as much to those needing to lose half a stone or 5 stone. So ideally I'd love a couple of people starting in Jan who are aiming to lose a similar amount.
I'm not planning on doing a specific diet, just eating a lot less rubbish really. My aim is to be done by July 🤞

@iamloading you have done so well! I will be keeping it up this time. I am older than you at 57 and going through menopause which makes it seem harder but of course is doable I think based on other people’s experience.

I think you just have to keep chipping away, and accept that there will be good and bad days. But not let the bad totally derail everything!
I've got 4 weeks until my holiday now, which was my target date back in jan. So I'm in the zone to try and get these last few pounds off!

@Daffyaboutdaffs thank you!!

I really relied on my Fitbit and the app to help - I entered food each day and if I wanted to eat more, being able to see how many calories I'd burned through steps and exercise really helped as I'd just decide to walk further or do a home workout to give me more calories!

I also used the Fitbit to track weight loss and seeing the numbers change, the weight, resting heart rate, etc., was really motivating so that helped!

I've tried loads before though and I know that I personally will only really lose weight when I'm 100% in the right zone in my head and I just got lucky that January was that time for me!

Which Fitbit is the best? I’ve never used one and there are so many different types. Thinking getting one might motivate me.

@MonsoonMadness hi I have the Fitbit Versa. It tracks steps, exercise, food, sleep, heart rate, cardio fitness. You can get your text messages on your watch and alarms etc. I’m sure lots of other stuff too.
