Wanted: like minded buddies for motivation and friendship

[ReenieNo3]

Well I’m back here again and this time I’m going to do my best to reach out and try and make some connections to help me keep going. I’d love to get together 5 to 6 like-minded women who would be open to possibly chatting/texting out of the group eventually. I am 57 years old with about 100 pounds to lose. My youngest son is leaving for college next week and I’m hoping to use the time after he’s gone to focus on myself. If you might be interested in joining me please let me know. Just a note that I am a very open, inclusive person who has respect for everyone regardless of race, color, or sexual/gender preferences. So if you don’t agree with that we might not be a good fit together.  Otherwise I’m looking to talk about all aspects of weight loss including food exercises and any types of mental setbacks.🙂

One suggestion might be to join, watch and post in one of the open fitbit weight loss groups. Overtime you'll posts by people that seem like potentially like-minded people. Reach out to add them to your group of friends (be discriminating (I know) to not end up with hundreds. Then you can look at trying to start some challenges, start your own private group, etc. Good luck.

Hi, I just turned 41 and would like to join your group. It is nice to meet you. I am from Arkansas. Are you going to send me a friend request on the app?

ReenieNo3,

Hi ReenieNo3, I tought I'd just give you a shout out. I'm trying to get some fitbit friends. I am also 57. I have a son who just started working. I am trying to better myself and maybe start challenges with people who can motivate me. 

I tried to add you. I just got this new Inspire 2 fitbit. I don't know how to add fitbit friends.

I don't know how to add fitbit friends and how this community thing works.  I'd like to find a buddy.  Do I just reply to the current post or do I need to reply to the first post?

Hi mjk. I'm trying to figure this out myself. I just bought a fitbit. It's an inspire 2. I think you reply to their first post. I would like to do some challenges with the like to keep motivated.

I realize this post is a few days old and has exceeded your original request, but looking for like minded contacts as well and figured puting my name out doesn't hurt. I am 43 with two teens, just starting out with Fitbit with about 100 pounds to lose.

Hi Reenie,

Just logged on thinking it would be great to find a buddy and saw your post and all the replies!

Did you start a group? I'm 64, in Australia and would like to lose about 15kg.

I like cycling and going to the gym - when I get there ..but need motivation to get there more often!

[Jarony1]

It's been very difficult to add friends on this app but I'm sure it's easier on stridekick .

They only have less challenges and communities to inspire you daily as Fitbit used to be

• Hi Amanda I believe you can achieve it all as you keep moving .
• I wish you a healthy weekend keep going 😊

Hi Reenie.  If you are still adding people to  your group, I would love to join.  I am 55.  I started my journey on Feb. 2, 2023 and have lost 65 lbs. so far.  It is my goal to lose an additional 85.  Support and ideas are very welcomed.  Let me know if you have room.  Thanks.
