How my Fitbit increases my weight loss.

Recently I upgraded from a Fitbit Flex to a Fitbit Charge HR. Why? Well, I wanted the heart rate feature... Now I'm able to determine if my intensity (effect I'm exerting) is enough to burn fat! Also, I want to be sure I don't surpass my maximum heart rate either, I want to be sure and remain safe at all times. The following chart gives the basic zones recommended by Yhe American Heart Association 

The Charge HR also calculates my active minutes without me having to manually input them, floors of stairs climes, exercise minutes, miles, steps, calories burned, calories left to eat ( determined by your activity level, already burned calories and goal weight) and it shows who's calling your phone on the wrist  display! 


Mostly, my Fitbit helps keeps me focused by providing my overly analytical brain data to churn over lol. It documents my efforts and to me that's helpful on those days that I don't see the scale moving and when we're in between measurement days. I can look at my stats and see Consistancy, which is all the motivation I need to keep going sometimes.

Silent Killer

From my heart... Being a mental health professional I hear people talk about depression and mental illness all day everyday. I read the statistics and reports about the "system" failing individuals quite frequently, But, when tragedy hits close to home it can be a LOUD  wake-up call! It's hard for me to understand the fact that mental illness is still a taboo thing. I personally don't understand why it's not a more discussed topic, why there aren't enough resources and access to treatment. Here in the US we have option after option for physical healthcare. If you don't like a physician for whatever reason all you have to do is walk across the hall or drive across the street and there are at least 10 more for the choosing. Why aren't there just as many easy options for mental healthcare treatment?  These day there is a checklist for "warning signs" for every ailment out there and I want to be sure that depression warning signs are top of mind...
