gabybab 696 Posted May 7, 2019 Hi! Today I reached a milestone. I've lost 50 pounds, which I have never done in my life. I once lost 30, but gained it back plus eventually 50 more. I'm going to buy myself a waterproof Fitbit. I started wearing one 3 weeks ago that my husband got me for Christmas, as he knew I wanted one for after surgery. He got me the Alta, but it's not waterproof. Also, I'm interested in buying a scale that measures body fat. I have no idea how they work or the first thing to look for. Any tips are welcome. Thank you! 2 FancyChristine15 and Liz The New Me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitbit has a scale called Aria 2 that uses wifi and calculates body fat, BMI, and a couple of other things. I bought one but could not get it to sync so I sent it back. I really wanted to keep it but again it wouldn't sync. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is it even possible? Thanks for the tip! I must get one! I love my fitbit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandra Nuelken 419 Posted May 7, 2019 I have the waterproof one but I take it off for showers, few steps in the shower. Good luck and keep it up! 1 gabybab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandra Nuelken 419 Posted May 7, 2019 I have a charge 3 and it pairs with MyFitnessPal. I also get phone, emails etc. It is waterproof, but as I said I don't wear it into showers as I'm using a fabric band now. I love the relax setting. 1 gabybab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was very sedentary before surgery and it's really encouraging to see how many steps I can take and calories burned a day. I also pair it with my fitness pal. Love it!

The most steps I have taken so far is over 24,000 steps in one day. 1 gabybab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claricey 65 Posted May 7, 2019 I have a Nokia/Withings scale that pairs well with the LoseIt app that I use for food and exercise tracking. I find the Lose It app very easy to use and helpful with tracking macros and Protein and Water intake. The scale measure body fat and heart rate as well. 2 gabybab and domi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
