eclecticwingtips 130 Posted June 28, 2016 As long as they inflate the steps consistently i dont care becuase the aim is to improve your own step intake ..... Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNOEL3 117 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Ok, so my cousin just helped me fix the infalted steps issue. She had me switch the "handedness" option to my left hand, even though I am right handed, but wear the fitbit on my left. She said that if it's on your non dominant hand, it will inflate steps since you don't use that arm as much, but if its on your dominant hand, it won't since thats the hand that naturally moves more. I proved this to be true while we were walking today and I had my app out, and it was much more accurate! So try switching the handedness to whichever hand you are wearing your fitbit on and see if that helps. It helped me.

NewBeginning2016 63 Posted July 1, 2016 Love my Fitbit Charge HR. Keeps track of my heart rate consistently throughout the day for a better understanding of how many calories I burn. I also love the sleep tracker. Fitbit App is super user friendly. My only wish is that it was completely waterproof. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Me too!

ButterflySeoul 98 Posted July 1, 2016 For anyone who doesn't have a fitbit yet, but has wanted just a basic one as an intro-- I went to BJ's today and the flex is on sale! I bought my fitbit flex there last August-- it was $94 and came with 3 large bands and one small one (red, black, green, and small black).. the exact same one with the bonus bands is on sale for $46 or $49-- I forget which.. but wow! Great deal either way! I bought a set for my father today to give him for his birthday. Hubby is getting my flex, and I upgraded today to the Alta. I love the sleek look of it.. didn't really care about a heart rate monitor.. and I love that it just asked me if I want to go for a stroll lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted July 5, 2016 Yes I have one but I bough it several years ago. If I was on the market for anything now, I would just go for the Apple Watch (assuming that you have an iPhone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
