I just bought a fitbit aria scale and I'm having a SUPER hard time syncing it up to my computer. Does anybody have one of these things or know about them? My computer could be the culprit I suppose.

Hahaha, it's like this "smart" scale that wirelessly transmits your weight to the computer when you weigh yourself. And it does other stuff too

I know! Right? That's kinda why I got it, along with the fitbit. It's amazing to see how inactive I am. ( btw, I finally got the darn thing to work)

Through graphs after it uploads the data

The fitbit is a device you wear on your correct? It measures how much you've walked or calories you've burned. I think folks think fitbit is your scale. They work together with a program on your computer but, if I recall correctly the fitbit you can clip to your bra or pants for the exercise portion of things..then it interacts with your scale and computer. Is that right?

I hear it's quite a motivator to move.

Yes, you're right. The Fitbit is the little clip thingy you wear. The Aria is a scale. The Fitbit will give you the most information, calories burned, how many stairs you've climbed, how active you are at specific times, (kinda like an actigraphy watch if anyone has ever worn one of those things), what time it is, how many steps you've taken, and how many miles you've gone in a day. The software will give you percentages on this data also. It's pretty cool.

The Aria is a scale that wirelessly puts your weight into your computer (an easy way to track your weight - incase you're like me and forget by the time you get to the computer). It also does some other fancy stuff too like BMI and body fat percentage. The Aria uploads the data and it gets combined with the Fitbit data in the same software.

Because I can't eat anything, I like getting all crazy about the numbers. It gives me something else to do when my family is eating pizza! Although, it's kinda hard to get the Aria to work with the computer but, I finally figured it out. The Fitbit was a breeze to start up.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
