Anyone use a fitbit one?



Recommended Posts

So I have really cracked down on myself. I purchsed a fitbit one and keep adding challeges for myself. If I log 2 miles this week walking daily I wanna see 2.5mi daily the next week. Am I crazy?

I also bought a body core media first but didnt care for it. I dont like having something strapped to my arm constantly. Fit bit straps to my bra and I dont even feel it.

I have a Fitbit and used to wear it religiously never taking it off except to shower. Now that I'm out of the habit, I keep forgetting to put it on.

I find it's a really useful tool. I tried to set goals for myself of 7000 steps a day. It's hard to get that many in with a sedentary desk job. But, I'm walking between 30-60 minutes a day on the treadmill now, so if I could remember to wear the dang thing I'm probably getting that many pretty easily now and should up my goal.

I have the fitbit too, and have a goal of 8,000 - 10,000 steps a day. I find it a great tool to keep me accountable for exercising.

I have a Fit Bit Flex and LOVE it. I have lost over 200 pounds in the last 18 months. I got the Fit Bit in February and it has helped me so much with my activity level. Great tool. I also sync with MFP. I think any WLS should come with one !

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
