I have another 100 to go to reach my goal weight (I was over 400lbs when I started).
I am lucky that the new company I started with in July 2013 has an in house gym and I can work out before and/or after work now without any excuses.
I am up to a medium fast walk about 5 mph consistent for 6 miles a day along with weight workouts.
It's been hard because I have some injuries that severely limit what I can do, but at my last job I worked 12-14 hours a day and gained over 200lbs in the 8 years I was there because of the stress and horrible eating habits I developed because of my work schedule and it was killing me, I changed jobs and changed my life.
I use the fitbit as a constant reminder to get up and move, though I can't sleep with it on, bugs me to have it on my wrist when I sleep.
There are several apps that work in conjunction with it, personally I am holding out for the Apple watch to replace my fitbit as it will have a lot more options and things to track without using multiple devices like heart rate monitors and such.

Keep up the great work! No matter how slow or fast you do what you are doing, the fact you are doing it at all is what matters. Keep your head up and your heart light, as one day at a time is all you can do.
They do have a model of the fitbit that monitors heart rate and GPS, steps walked, etc...just in case you didn't know..
