New to FitBit - Hoping to find some friends!



Recommended Posts

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

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
