I lost 25 pounds and got nothing. I lost 25% of my weight to my goal weight and nothing. I went officially from obese to overweight and got BMI down to 29 and nothing! This is frustrating and not very motivating that they do not seem to award you for weight loss progress. At least at Weight Watchers they gave you something every 5%. Has any one gotten a badge?

I need help understanding how this works.I see lots of my Fitbit friends showing off there congratulations notices. I have lost at least seven pounds and have gotten nothing

That's the only thing I can think of - it doesn't know if weight change is good without a goal. (Some people have a goal of gaining weight; it distributes badges for that too.)
If you had a goal set and don't see the badges on your weight page, I suggest opening a support ticket. They would be able to see if there was a glitch.
. I just got on my computer and saw a had a badge. no notice at all and I have the scale. Whats wrong?

I've lost 23.2 pounds in the last two months and have got nothing. I don't have the scales but I have been tracking my weight and I have a goal. I want a badge, dang drat it.

I learned this the hard way, It will give you the badges, but only if a goal weight is set. I got my fitbit in June, tracked my weight loss, but got nothing until I set the goal. I just got my 1st badge this last week.

I have a goal weight set, it knows very well what it is, and it knows I've lost over 20 pounds. Still nothing.

Did you get the initial badge for goal weigh set? When I stated with my fitbit, I recored my weight, 311. but I did not put a goal until i was at 299. I posted at 291 this week and got my 1st 5lb badge.

OMG! - I finally got it, and have my badges! - very important, my badges, lol, I hate to miss out on something everyone else has, harumph! It was recording my current weight as my starting weight, even though in another place it had my correct starting weight, so I donno, anyway, got it now.
pcobb8 - Congratulations on your weight loss, it's lovely to start noticing a difference. Keep at it!

I seem to have received weight loss badges up to 35 pounds but no 40 pound weighy loss badge - why since I have now lost 43 pounds?
Also a maximum 35,000 badge for lifetime climb is way too low - I reached that in less than 14 months which is hardly a lifetime - I'm around 55,000 now
Badges have to be consistent to be motivating
In the new dashboard where can I see lifetime steps, miles, floors etc?

If you have your weight set in kgs, do you have to lose 5 kgs to get a badge? I've lost 7 lbs...and no badge yet.
