Talk to me about Fitbit Flex!



Recommended Posts

There are lots of people in this forum who use MFP with Fitbit very successfully. I have been using both, in sync since September 2013. I also received the "Aria scale" as a gift and have that linked to my FitBit

In the MFP App there is a section called Apps & Devices. Click it open and a list of programs and devices that sync with MFP appear. Follow the directions.You will need to start an online account at both sites.

Also here is a link to FitBit help. Good luck!

I have been using my fitbit since November and have synced it with MFP and the Aria scale. I just love it! It motivates me to park further away, take the stairs and challenge myself to increase my amount of activity everyday. MFP is the best food, diary tool out there and syncs perfectly with my fitbit. The Aria scale is also a great tool. All of these items/apps have been essential tools in my weight loss journey.

hey,what exactly is a fitnes flex?

It is part of the newer pedometers. It's a little 'bracelet' that you wear to track your steps. It will sync wirelessly with myfitnesspal and some other programs to record your steps/fitness.

My dog chewed up my fitbit. Can't wait to get a new one. I have the scale also. It's so handy.

I still have the recalled force. I like the display too much to give it back. I put a bandaid to cover the area where they said people were getting rashes (one of the metallic contacts) and I've been ok. Lol.

Been debating about trading it in for the fitbit force or one of the other devices.

The fitbit flex is awesome. I am not sure why the reviews aren't stellar, but I know 5 other people who have the fitbit flex and they love it as much as I do!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
