A year ago I bought a fitbit and was determined to start my weight loss journey. But after about 2 months I misplaced the fitbit and that was the end of that. I do lead a fairly healthy and active lifestyle. But even with doing 5ks and eating what I thought was healthy I was still having issues losing the weight. ...
