New to FitBit - Hoping to find some friends!

Hello my friends! Well I decided that I'd try out this FitBit.. it a "bit" interesting.. and have had it all but 45 minutes.. and now? I need to get some "friends" that are using this thing too! I did take a look at the forums to try and find some users that have posted recently.. but nothing since 2012.. so hopefully this rouses some interest - please add me as your friend! Not exactly sure what's needed to add me but just in case http://www.fitbit.com/user/25SCFR

Thanks again in advance for your support!

I love the Fitbit. I got mine in December and use it to keep track of my food, drinks and activities. Sorry, I don't know how to do the friend thing. I wear mine on my bra because I found it fell off the waistband

of pants. Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy it, like I do.

Today I ordered the Fitbit flex.

I first went to amazon and it was on back order.

Then went to FITBIT.com, back order

Went to another site and it said it was available. I order and then after completion of order, shipping date, June 20th. Really???

I'm excited to get it mainly because the flex keeps track of your sleep. I want proof of what sleep I get for my employer.

I am assuming this is a great tool because its on back order at every website I've been to.

I bought my FitBit One two weeks ago, and I LOVE it! I almost got the Flex, but decided against it because I'm not crazy about having things on my wrists because I type on a laptop so much, so the One was a better fit for me. I'm looking for friends too, so please feel free to add me. My details are in my signature. :D

You may want to check out the Body Media armband... it also tracks sleep. Just like you, I was waiting to get the FitBit Flex, but I ended up going with the Body Media as the Flex was on back order and I was anxious to start tracking my sleep and activities. I love it - I had a similar product years back called the Body Bugg.

Got the FITBIT and I think it's great. I think this is a tool that should be given to each WLS person.

It is truly a great tool to help in my fitness program.

I am looking into this now. I am trying to decide between the 2 models. I'll let you know when I get it. :)

I have the flex. Got it in 3 days after ordering on bestbuy.com.

You have to supply email to be friends on fitbit.

What exactly is the fit bit?

I have the flex. It tracks steps, calories, food, sleep (when I remember to set it). Helps me keep active when I'm feeling lazy. :)

I just got my flex today! It's charging right now!

Love my flex! Went to the gym like normal but my flex motivated me to go walk around the mall later today to meet my step goal!

Just ordered the fitbit as well. Thanks for the info. I had never heard of it until now.

I have the fitbit zip and I love it. I didn't feel the need to track my sleep so I didn't get either of the models that do. I have found that it does motivate me to move more.

If I see that I haven't moved enough, I'll grab a dog and head out the door for a walk.

Good luck with whichever one you get!

I don't have friends on my fitbit because I use MyFitnessPal and have enough to keep up with there. Nice thing is, the fitbit syncs with MFP and logs my extra calories burned.
