Hey, now there's a thought! Actually you wear it on your wrist. Prefer the non dominant hand. I think if you use your dominant hand you'll get inflated readings.
I like the ankle idea though.

I'm new here too - just picked it up the Flex two hours ago! Excited to join the community! 😃 I used to have an ArmBand that tracked my calories, but after all of the rave reviews of this one, I couldn't resist. Plus, it was a ay to get back into the tracking calories routine....getting back on the wagon!

Hi All,

 

I picked up a Fitbit at the weekend and already feel pushed to do more than I did without incentive. Previously had an UP which failed and way too much hassle to send back to US ( from Ireland ) for repair. Comparing the two device I have to say FitBit and the Community sets it apart along with dashboards.

 

I like some friendly competition/challenge so if anyone wants to add me as a friend that would be great.

 

Look forward to seeing other community insights,

 

Rob

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new today, too. Still getting used to the feel of wearing this all the time. 10,000 steps is a lot more that I imagined! Only hit 3,000 today.   

 

Looking for friends and motivators - feel free to add me!

My wife bought me a fitbit and it arrived today.

 

I learned about them from a piece that David Sedaris wrote in the New Yorker:

I am a fifth grade teacher, and I am NEVER still, so I am curious to see how many steps I actually log in a day. 

 

 

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.

You may be surprised! I logged in 250 miles in less than 3 weeks. I work in retail management which means I'm going non-stop! I love this gadget!

Hey Tracy! Welcome to the Fitbit world! I love mine. The steps do add up - I'm usually clearing 10,000 steps by 9 am! I have to learn how to add people - I'm rather new to this site!

Hello All! I literally just got this set up. I'm excited but I haven't done anything like this before. I admit I am not the most active person but I am hoping this will change that!

Best Answer
Welcome! I'm about 2 weeks in and have my steps set to 7500. I make it
about 85% of the time. If I get out for my walk in the AM I am good to go
and then some. I only get the accelerated heartbeat reading while I'm in
spinning but I can record the calorie burn.

Be patient, play with it and get on the forums and help menus.

Bon chance!

I'm new too!  My son bought me a FITBIT ONE, to encourage me to shape up.  I have about 100 pounds to lose.  I have a treadmill I can use at home, and I have a dog to walk, and my house has stairs - so it's pretty convenient for me to up my activity level.  What I really have to focus on is managing what I eat and drink.  I'm starting to be very judgemental about my food intake.  It's about dang time.

 

Good luck with your progress!   Wish me luck  🙂

Hi all! i got a fitbit years ago but didn't really do much with it as I hadn't much motivation. But I'm now raring to go! Picking up my fitbit on Tuesday and can't wait to get started. Please feel free to add me as a friend as I intend to be on the forums quite a lot and well, I like chatting 🙂

Hi,

 

I'm new too! My partner brought me one and it arrived today. I think it is great. I can't wait to get going properly. Managed to hit 4000 steps today.

 

Feel free to add me 😃

Best Answer

Good morning!

 

I admit I am finding that this thing is pretty motivating! I've still not hit the 10,000 step mark, but did manage 7,000 on one day.  

 

I jumped on our neglected treadmill yesterday and did about 15 minutes on it...I actually ran for one minute - twice!  I know that sounds silly, but I have over 100 pounds to lose and I don't think I've actually run anywhere in 10 or more years. 

 

Question to everyone - I wear it on my non-dominant hand, but have the sensitivity set to dominant. How is yours set up?

 

 

Best Answer

New myself ... Just trying to figure all this out...   Hope I'm doing this right.....  Please add me as a friend.  We can do it together......
