I just bought a fitbit aria scale and I'm having a SUPER hard time syncing it up to my computer. Does anybody have one of these things or know about them? My computer could be the culprit I suppose.

Hahaha, it's like this "smart" scale that wirelessly transmits your weight to the computer when you weigh yourself. And it does other stuff too

I know! Right? That's kinda why I got it, along with the fitbit. It's amazing to see how inactive I am. ( btw, I finally got the darn thing to work)

The fitbit is a device you wear on your correct? It measures how much you've walked or calories you've burned. I think folks think fitbit is your scale. They work together with a program on your computer but, if I recall correctly the fitbit you can clip to your bra or pants for the exercise portion of things..then it interacts with your scale and computer. Is that right?

I hear it's quite a motivator to move.

Yes, you're right. The Fitbit is the little clip thingy you wear. The Aria is a scale. The Fitbit will give you the most information, calories burned, how many stairs you've climbed, how active you are at specific times, (kinda like an actigraphy watch if anyone has ever worn one of those things), what time it is, how many steps you've taken, and how many miles you've gone in a day. The software will give you percentages on this data also. It's pretty cool.

The Aria is a scale that wirelessly puts your weight into your computer (an easy way to track your weight - incase you're like me and forget by the time you get to the computer). It also does some other fancy stuff too like BMI and body fat percentage. The Aria uploads the data and it gets combined with the Fitbit data in the same software.

Because I can't eat anything, I like getting all crazy about the numbers. It gives me something else to do when my family is eating pizza! Although, it's kinda hard to get the Aria to work with the computer but, I finally figured it out. The Fitbit was a breeze to start up.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
