Hello everyone

So in my job I am mostly sedentary, and rarely get my 10,000 steps in. Usually I am between 5,000 and 6,000 per day.

BUT, I do find that having a fit bit helps to keep me *more* accountable than if I didn't have one.

Any other fitbit users out there who love theirs as much as I love mine?

What kind do you have?

I have the Alta now, but my wife is getting me a new one (either Alta HR or Charge2) for my birthday next month

I've worn a Fitbit for years. Started out with a Fitbit Force- when that one gave up the ghost, I got the Charge HR. The only time I take it off is to shower. It definitely helps keep me accountable, and I love all the data. I love that it tracks my sleep- it's been a real eye opener to see how poorly I frequently sleep. And it was a HUGE wake up call when I first got my Fitbit to see how sedentary I actually was. I was only getting in about 4K steps a day. My goal is 12K. In the winter, I'm lucky to hit 10K a day, but I do much better in the summer.

I splurged on the Charge 2 (I already have a Garmin VivoFit!) and love it, although taking it off for showers and swimming is a pain. When I hear that 'regular people' will easily hit the 10k steps a day and I barely make 3k-4k steps it doesn't fill me with joy

I have the Charge 2. I love it because I can buy interchangeable bands off ebay and coordinate different colors with what I am wearing. My mother bought me the fitbit for Christmas and I haven't taken it off since (except for charging). I think it has been the single best companion to my weight loss. I was 245 on January 1st and today on April 3rd... I am 204 pounds... all because I love the Fitbit Challenges and I like the data and stats I get from my walks and jogs. It has been great.

Hi everyone, I also have the Charge2 and love it.

BrisSissy Congratulations on your weightloss! Can you tell me how the fitbit challenges work?

Thanks!!

So my alta died, lol. Not sure what happened. BUT, my birthday is around the corner and I'm also getting the Charge2

A Fitbit Alta HR and the Fitbit Aria scale are on my 'to buy' lists for next month. I currently have a Fitbit Charge HR (original) and love it

I have a Fitbit Charge HR, I've found it has made me move more. It helps to see that step count go up!

I know this post is a bit old, but I was wondering if anyone wanted to become fitbit friends? I got an Alta HR about a week and a half ago and I am loving it. I haven't joined any challenges yet, but I might look into it. I don't have too many friends with fitbits, but two of them have become "friends" on the fitbit app, so I can compare my steps to theirs (encourages some friendly competition!). I'd love to have some more! I'm not 100% sure how you add friends who aren't your Facebook friends, but I'm sure there's a way. Anyone interested?

OrionNebula- I'm game. You can add people using the phone app by email address. I can PM you my email address, if you like? My daily goal is 12K steps, but I'm hit-and-miss on it. Weekdays a lot of the time I get around 8K steps, weekends I might get 25K steps in a day, just depends.

Yes, please send it along! I haven't made it up to 25,000 steps yet. My 20,000 yesterday left me a bit sore. I've been pretty good at getting over 10,000 but there are some days when it just doesn't happen, like today. Sore ankles means rest, and only a bit over 6,000 steps.
