I just received a fitbit charge hr for my birthday. I have over 100 lbs to lose...I have no idea how to add friends for support. If you can please add me or let me know what I need to do. My son graduates in 2016 so I am setting goals for myself.

Hi!

I noticed you reply to so many comments with so much helpful info ans since I didn't see how to post an original question I thought I'd ask you my question this way...hope you don't mind.

 

1. I am brand new! just setup my fitbit Charge HR lastnight around maybe 10:30 pm ish, all seemed great however this morning I checked my online dashboard and there was no sleep tracked literally 0 hrs across, now my sleep was light, and interrupted a few times, I fell  asleep on the couch and got up to do a few things, then went back to bed with a 3 month old baby that causes me to sleep light and wake up maybe 2 times during the night before 7am. Would this fragmented sleep cause it to not realize I am "sleep", or is something wrong?

 

2. I did an interval training workout today (30 mins) and a little yoga. At the start of it I pressed my side button and held it until I saw the stop watch icon, and the timer began. I pressed the button a few times during the workout to see what my heart rate was, (which i wish it would show first when pressed during a workout) and several times the heart rate was blank or reading lower than it should've been. At the end of the workout I pressed and held the button again and the timer stopped. Problem: That activity (workout) is not showing up on my app dashboard or the online dashboard, and I am not certain if it is accounted for in my calorie burn, please help! What could be wrong?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Hello @YogiMalikah

 

Feel free to try changing between sleep sensitivity, there's a normal and sensitive setting on your trackers devices page (URL)

 

After sync'ing, the new setting will be used.

 

2. I did an interval training workout today (30 mins) and a little yoga. At the start of it I pressed my side button and held it until I saw the stop watch icon, and the timer began. I pressed the button a few times during the workout to see what my heart rate was, (which i wish it would show first when pressed during a workout) and several times the heart rate was blank or reading lower than it should've been.

Not sure why your buddy is doing that.

 

Feel free restarting the tracker:

Hope it helps 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
