Do you love your Fitbit ?

[FDclerical 318]

I notice that 10,000 steps are mentioned frequently and could you tell me the significance of 10,000 steps?

This number comes from the American heart association they say it's the recommended goal . I have a desk job so I Cannot achieve this goal unless I workout everyday with a minimum of 30 min which makes it perfect !!!!! Also I earn vitality points through our program at work each day I hit my goal my points earned me badges gift cards movie tickets etc. very motivating!!!

I love my fitbit! It's like a healthy constant reminder to get up and move alot of my coworkers have it so we often use the challenges to keep each other on our toes and I like I can keep up with my meals on the same app! You can sink it see your phone caller ID and I bought my first 1 at Walmart 120 and the other 2 at a pawn shop (around 60 both times) there great I love them! You can buy little covers on Amazon too to personalize...I am super hard on stuff I lost the diamond out of my wedding band the first week I had it thank God for insurance (only reason I am on the 3rd lol

Which Fitbit would everyone recommend? There are so many to choose from! I just need one to measure my activity. I don't need it to be a watch cause I love the watch I have now!! I want the most bang for my buck and can't spend a fortune on bells and whistles that I won't use!

I personally like the charge hr all though it does have a watch...omg know there are others without it but same price and sometimes more

I started with the flex. It was under $100 on Amazon. It has steps, weight, exercise, sleep , and tracks food and calories. It's not a watch. I set reminders every 2 hours in which it vibrates to remind me to move

I need some fit bit friends! Does anyone know how to get them? It seems like it would be more motivated and fun

I got an Alta for Christmas. I love it. I had a step tracked the clipped onto my pants before. I much prefer the watch style.

Yes, I love my FitBit. I bought the FitBit flex, about two months ago, which is one of the more basic ones but it does everything I need. It helps monitor sleep amount, Water intake, caloric intake and serves as a stepometer. Pretty simple to use and not very expensive. I paid $76 after taxes, but it seems to be a lot less expensive now. I think its a great tool for beginners. I definitely encourage you look into the different capacities per Fitbit and see what works best for you. Good luck!
