Talk to me about Fitbit Flex!



Recommended Posts

There are lots of people in this forum who use MFP with Fitbit very successfully. I have been using both, in sync since September 2013. I also received the "Aria scale" as a gift and have that linked to my FitBit

In the MFP App there is a section called Apps & Devices. Click it open and a list of programs and devices that sync with MFP appear. Follow the directions.You will need to start an online account at both sites.

Also here is a link to FitBit help. Good luck!

I have been using my fitbit since November and have synced it with MFP and the Aria scale. I just love it! It motivates me to park further away, take the stairs and challenge myself to increase my amount of activity everyday. MFP is the best food, diary tool out there and syncs perfectly with my fitbit. The Aria scale is also a great tool. All of these items/apps have been essential tools in my weight loss journey.

hey,what exactly is a fitnes flex?

It is part of the newer pedometers. It's a little 'bracelet' that you wear to track your steps. It will sync wirelessly with myfitnesspal and some other programs to record your steps/fitness.

My dog chewed up my fitbit. Can't wait to get a new one. I have the scale also. It's so handy.

I still have the recalled force. I like the display too much to give it back. I put a bandaid to cover the area where they said people were getting rashes (one of the metallic contacts) and I've been ok. Lol.

Been debating about trading it in for the fitbit force or one of the other devices.

The fitbit flex is awesome. I am not sure why the reviews aren't stellar, but I know 5 other people who have the fitbit flex and they love it as much as I do!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
