I've been avoiding this thread because the end of last year was a period of extreme inactivity for me, and I lost whatever roll I may have been on.
This year I decided that I was going to try and take the slow route to improvement starting with my sleep schedule and diet, with my Fitbit keeping track of everything I started going to bed earlier and waking up earlier and cut all processed foods out of my diet. In the process I also decided I'd see if I couldn't drop some weight by simply eating less, so I set my mind to entering every bit of food I ate into my Fitbit app and had a goal of eating 1000 calories less than I burned. So far this year I've attained that goal, and while I've only lost 7 lbs in 15 days I have been getting more sleep, eating less crap (no fast food, no frozen food, low-carb focus), and drinking more water (80oz goal per day). I feel better, even if visually I haven't improved significantly; my goal is 30 lbs by my birthday in May and then start a strength-building routine from there once I've dropped some of the dead-weight and kept up some good habits.
I managed an 8-mile hike and a 15-mile bike ride over the weekend, but those were in part because I definitely wasn't going to reach my step total otherwise and needed to burn enough calories to have room for dinner
Anyway, I can contribute those to the thread, both were rather scenic and certainly helped me accomplish my calorie-burning goals for the days.
