Anyone use a fitbit one?



Recommended Posts

So I have really cracked down on myself. I purchsed a fitbit one and keep adding challeges for myself. If I log 2 miles this week walking daily I wanna see 2.5mi daily the next week. Am I crazy?

I also bought a body core media first but didnt care for it. I dont like having something strapped to my arm constantly. Fit bit straps to my bra and I dont even feel it.

I have a Fitbit and used to wear it religiously never taking it off except to shower. Now that I'm out of the habit, I keep forgetting to put it on.

I find it's a really useful tool. I tried to set goals for myself of 7000 steps a day. It's hard to get that many in with a sedentary desk job. But, I'm walking between 30-60 minutes a day on the treadmill now, so if I could remember to wear the dang thing I'm probably getting that many pretty easily now and should up my goal.

I have the fitbit too, and have a goal of 8,000 - 10,000 steps a day. I find it a great tool to keep me accountable for exercising.

I have a Fit Bit Flex and LOVE it. I have lost over 200 pounds in the last 18 months. I got the Fit Bit in February and it has helped me so much with my activity level. Great tool. I also sync with MFP. I think any WLS should come with one !

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
