good luck!

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of FitBit so maybe I will try there. I had forgot some of these other ones. I will have to revisit those sites.

I have discovered that the only thing that motivates me is when I am participating in a time bound challenge to lose weight. Overall I need to lose about 50 lbs but I am working on doing it in chunks of 10 lbs. which for me makes it more manageable.

I joined Healthy Wage but completely forgot I entered the challenge ! There was no reason to go to the app except to weigh in at the beginning and the end so I completely forgot to weigh in again in the end and essentially just forfeited my money. I thought using that app would help but there really isn't a community aspect to it so I am looking for something where people post regularly and engage in a more social way. Any suggestions? I am not interested in things like Beachbody or other MLM shakes and vitamins.
