Good evening everyone, Just want to say hi and see how everyone is enjoying their new Fitbit, I do find myself trying to get more steps in everyday..but it has been only been 6 days for me..really trying to reach the goal of 10,000 got as far as 9,600 tomorrow is another day of trying. Good luck to all..if anyone is from Mi and in the TriCity area plz say hello 🙂

Good Luck to you I have had mine for about a year and love it. It is a great reminder to keep me honest with how active I have been each day.

Thank you sweetie...A whole year hey that is awesome..didn't even know that these were made a year ago..LOL At least I know it won't break in less than a year, that was one of my big worries..I hope I enjoy it as much 🙂

I am also a Michigander, north of Bay Cty. I just started using my fitbit Tuesday and am already hooked. I wouldn't allow myself to watch TV until I hit 10,000 steps.  I was even stepping in place while on the computer today.  I also went to the weight features to lose 7 pounds. I like how you can track your food, calories in and calories out. It's been challenging to walk outside with the weather this winter; I could have used ice skates instead of my tennis shoes today:-)

To reach 10,000 steps a day, I take two 25 minute walks..once in the early am, the second walk late in the afternoon. With my normal activity, I generally reach 10k walks by end of the day. Walking like that twice a day, which I never did before I start wearing my FITBIT, allows me time to think.

Good morning, how far north are you from Bay City? I am always looking for a partner to walk with...some people just can't get motivated...LOL I do belong to the YMCA, or the riverwalk in Bay City when it is spring is always a nice area to walk...if your ever interested let me know and good luck on your new journey with FitBit 🙂

I live about 45 miles from Bay City.

That sounds fun.

I am about 10mins from the Riverwalk...I am game to go anytime, just give me a heads up  and I will be there.

I hit 10,000 steps by 12:00 pm daily by running the treadmill for up to a max of 90 minutes at fat burn zone, then regular office work. The rest of the day is trying to get to the calorie goal everyday which is the hardest.
