This competition will finish on Thursday 21st of July - winner will be announced afterwards, so watch this space until then, as the winner will be drawn randomly so it could be you! One entry per person.

I had the The Power Within to believe that I could transform my life and I did. I lost 8 stone, went from a size 24/26 to a size 10. I honestly believe I have saved my own life. I would love this fitbit to help maintain my weight & overall fitness.

I draw on #‎ThePowerWithin in my working life to create positive, upbeat experiences for large groups of people on the days when I'm feeling negative and downbeat.

Beasty

I have used the Power Within to recover from serious head (and other) injuries caused in a cycling accident 2 years ago. Striving to regain my fitness has helped me rebuild my life. I would push myself to the limit and beyond, surprising those around me and my medical advisers with the speed and extent of my recovery. I am still not 100% there, but I am back racing my bikes with an ambition to achieve the World Hour Record, for a centurion - still have another 45 years to work towards that one.....

Tazium

ThePowerWithin gave me determination and stamina to complete a 21,000 metre swim.

I am using the power within to get my size 22 ass out walking/jogging while eating healthily too. I'm on week three of couch to 5k and got my first "buzz" moment on Sunday when I got my average time per km under 10 minutes for the first time. I totally loved it. First time that getting fit didn't feel like a chore and I'm hoping that this time I'll keep going!

Ushmonster

I'm using the #ThePowerWithin to represent Ireland as part of the Irish American Football team travelling to Amsterdam to play the Dutch Lions in August

I've used the power within to move my ass and join a gym. Now the power is on the outside for all to see

cplwhisper

#thepowerwithin - completing a 5km jog 3yrs ago in 40 min 40 seconds for charity and thinking I was fast.... Last week after continuos training I have accompliced 30min 35secords. Without the power within then nothing is possible.

I use #thepowerwithin to keep training at the gym - a fitbit would make it even better!

RiseToMe

I used the #powerwithin to help my mum train for the mini marathon to raise funds for St Lukes hospital after the passing of her sister. She suffers from agoraphobia so it was a double battle. But she done it and she used a pedometer to motivate herself, she wants to keep it up so I'd love to win her a Fitbit to keep her focused and active and most importantly out and about!

liquoriceall

I'm using #thepowerwithin to stay motivated with my cycling which is a new sport for me

karkar athlete

I have been competitively competing in athletics for the past 13 years and have used determination and grit from #ThePowerWithin to finally complete a personal dream and win my first National individual title this year. 

Winning a fitbit would be a huge addition to help me continue my training while accurately monitoring my fitness level, thus allowing me to achieve more.

Losing a stone in the last 6 weeks. Cut back on crap and increase the exercise

Currently using the power within to eat healthier, and trying to cut out the junk food, not easy

Reg'stoy

#ThePowerWithin has allowed me to in the last ten years, give up smoking, run marathons and become the healthiest I've ever been. A fitbit would allow me to continue on this path.    

fiachraX

I've used The Power Within to completely empty my fridge! It took grit and determination, but I was't willing to give up.
However, my next move needs to be either a Fitbit or a new wardrobe.
