I recently lost around 35lbs following the birth of my second child. I cut out most of my sugar, I exercised frequently and often and I was generally really dedicated and motivated. Even so, as my social life became more active I refused to cut out dinners with friends and enjoying myself.
Those last 10lbs were really fucking hard to lose, it was no joke! I didn’t want to cut my calorie deficit anymore, since I felt like a happy healthy human, and I just cut my losses and said my weight was fine. It was! I was 5’8 and 135lbs, definitely healthy.
My friends started buying this fit watch, and I would laugh at them tracking sleep/heart rate/steps. It became a fun joke for us all as they compared and competed around the dinner table. As a gift, my SO bought me a fit watch. It was sort of a joke gift. So I set myself a step goal (12,500) daily, how many flights of stairs to climb (15) and watched my sleep.
And Ho. Ly. Shit. I am not obsessed with this thing but it is SO COOL. The last 10bs dropped off in 3 weeks. I didn’t cut any more food (but I don’t eat to excess, just until I’m full, properly full). I make sure to hit my 12.5m steps and now I’ve upped it to 15k. It means an extra walk with my children in the morning, or going out for a walk and calling a relative in another country, so why would I mind?
Anyway, my point is that even though it may seem like overkill it’s actually a very handy thing and could just help you out!
