my journey began when my company started a weight loss program at work and here I am 9 months later still at it.. its a great way to start and be held accountable. They gave us fit bits and we have step contest all thru out the year. And I made a good friend out of it, a coworker who has "dates" with me for walking!!And everyone is competitive so it pushed me to go further... Good Luck and way to go!!
