We know the feeling, but nothing is better for keeping you motivated than seeing your progress - and with Fitbug you'll soon be able to see measurable progress. Plus, to keep you on the right track, we'll send you weekly targets to keep on challenging you as well as motivating messages and a weekly newsletter. You'll also have access to multitudes of online features and articles, healthy recipes and a members' forum so that you can share your story.

The Bug isn't waterproof and it won't count your swimming strokes. However, that's not to say that you can't record your swimming with Fitbug. All you have to do is log how long you swam for and roughly how hard you worked and Fitbug will calculate a steps equivalent and put it towards your activity target. The online activity tracker also records cycling, skiing, rowing, skating and weight training.

You bet your life it can! Fitbug was developed by nutrition and fitness professionals to help people to live healthy lifestyles - and a major aspect of a healthy life is maintaining a healthy weight. We've already helped thousands of members to achieve their weight loss goals by eating a healthy balanced diet and increasing their activity levels and we're sure that we can help you too.

The great thing about Fitbug is that it encourages you to make small changes for great health benefits. Rather than suggesting a complete overhaul of your life, we'll ask you to do what you can when you can - from getting off the bus one stop earlier to walking to colleagues desks rather than emailing them and abandoning lifts or escalators in favour of taking the stairs. It can take as much time or as little time as you have, but if you are really determined to achieve your goals you may be surprised to learn how much time you find to dedicate to it.

We want Fitbug to be accessible for everyone, so we've made it really simple to use - even for complete technophobes! When you join we'll send you an email talking you through every step of your journey and all you'll have to do is click on a link to download all the software you will ever need. Once you've followed the instructions, you'll be able to upload your stats with a click of the mouse. We've also gone to great lengths to make sure that it is easy to enter all your other activity and monitor your diet. If you do get stuck at any time, just give us a ring on 0870 228 4949 and our support staff will talk you through your problem.
