Welcome to the Fitbit Community @slycooper94! I'm sure that you are doing awesome with your daily step count and achieving your goals. 

Which Fitbit tracker do you have? 

[slycooper94]

Thank you for the welcome. I have the fitbit flex.

Hey @slycooper94! You're welcome. 

I also have a Flex. Isn't it a great tracker? I've had mine for about a year or so and it has brought awareness to me on how "active" I was and how I have been improving. 

What has been your experience with the Flex?

[slycooper94]

It has been great I can honestly say ive lost weight because of it. Such an
wasy way to keep track of your steps and distance it really holds you
accountable for reaching your daily goals

That's great @slycooper94! I haven't lost that much weight, however, it has helped me a lot with my health. I have high blood pressure and I needed to do something about it. Now, I feel much better and it's easier to workout, walk more or even get off the couch by just looking at how my progress is doing for the day.

Do you have any friends or family members using a Fitbit tracker?

[slycooper94]

No family members but I have made just a couple of friends using fitbit and
we actually just finished the weekend warrior challenge I lost but I did
push myself extra harder during the weekend for the challenge

[Mcore]

Really? No worries , the important thing is that you did your best.

What was that challenge about?

[slycooper94]

Basically it was a challenge seeing who could get the most steps in through
the weekend. How has your fitbit been?

[Mcore]

That's cool. Well, It's been great. At first it was hard to get used to wearing it every day, sometimes I would even forget to putting it on, but now, I feel weird if I'm not wearing it.

I've been more active even though I don't have a specific exercise routine. What helped me the most is tracking my active minutes instead of my step count.
