Ok, so my cousin just helped me fix the infalted steps issue. She had me switch the "handedness" option to my left hand, even though I am right handed, but wear the fitbit on my left. She said that if it's on your non dominant hand, it will inflate steps since you don't use that arm as much, but if its on your dominant hand, it won't since thats the hand that naturally moves more. I proved this to be true while we were walking today and I had my app out, and it was much more accurate! So try switching the handedness to whichever hand you are wearing your fitbit on and see if that helps. It helped me.

Love my Fitbit Charge HR. Keeps track of my heart rate consistently throughout the day for a better understanding of how many calories I burn. I also love the sleep tracker. Fitbit App is super user friendly.

My only wish is that it was completely waterproof.

Looking at getting something as well and heard that Fitbit is so so :( looking at a Jawbone Up2, doesn't do heart rate but that's ok I guess...

If you want a heart rate sensor, the Up 3 and Up 4 both have it.

For anyone who doesn't have a fitbit yet, but has wanted just a basic one as an intro-- I went to BJ's today and the flex is on sale! I bought my fitbit flex there last August-- it was $94 and came with 3 large bands and one small one (red, black, green, and small black).. the exact same one with the bonus bands is on sale for $46 or $49-- I forget which.. but wow! Great deal either way! I bought a set for my father today to give him for his birthday. Hubby is getting my flex, and I upgraded today to the Alta. I love the sleek look of it.. didn't really care about a heart rate monitor.. and I love that it just asked me if I want to go for a stroll lol.

Yes I have one but I bough it several years ago. If I was on the market for anything now, I would just go for the Apple Watch (assuming that you have an iPhone)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
