Do you love your Fitbit ?



Recommended Posts

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 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 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!

      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.
