Hi! I'm new to this program today. Are these forums helpful?

My sleep is not the greatest either - average about 6 hours a night.  If that some nights.

Hello

I'm wondering why my fitbit which I have had on for 1 and a half days now, is recording such a high number of steps. It claims that I have taken 15,000 today. I'm pretty sure that is not the case. Any clues? is it counting arm movements head nods? driving moves? singing along to the radio?

Any suggestions about the best way for me to interpret the info. If it is true then I am most happy, but somehow I don't think it is quite right.

Hi - I'm new to Fitbit this week and have logged (for me) a respectable beginning. I too have wondered about ALL the steps it's claimed I've taken. Seems to me a little generous. I think they are to be taken with a grain of salt. Try holding the fitbit in your hand as you move around and watch things mount. The accuracy will improve when you are in full stride. Very inspirational! This I think I can do.

New member as of tomorrow.  Purchased my fitbit this evening after a Doctor's appointment and put on Heart medication that I was told is going to make me gain weight!!! Nooo.  As of now I am in good shape and lean, but I know I have to take the Med's....so I am looking forward to my fitbit to help me with tracking my workouts and calories, oh, and sleep.  Not sleeping is a side effect of the med's.  Thanks for having a community group.

Me too...mine is about 2 hours old.

[klbquilts]

I am lucky if I get 3 hours sleep.  Just doesn't happen for me.

New, literally just charged and put fit flex on... a birthday gift from hubby cause i asked for one. Needed the extra motivation to keep expanding my exercise routine and get back into shape 🙂 Stalking the forums now to learn how it all works. I really do miss the days of actual instruction booklets, lol. 😞

I am new, too! Just got my fitbit yesterday!

[Kablooie]

Hi all,

Today is my first day with FitBit One and Aria.  Just getting used to the app and community forums.  So far it's really neat!

[SusanFD]

Hi all

Everyone seems to be a major athlete. I am not a runner, just someone who likes to maintain a healthy weight and log my foods to track calories.

Anyone else like me out there?

Yeah you'll really reap benefits if you use it religiously. I have and have
lost for dress sizes. You'll love it!

Hey everybody, just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Rhonda, I am very excited about this new journey I am about to begin!!  Today is the first day of the rest of my life 🙂

[SunsetRunner]

Hi Ruby girl I am also new here just got my fit it about a month ago and loving it. Here is to a healthier lifestyle. Good luck and always remember to keep positive and have fun doing it.

Hi Susan, I'm not a major athlete & a lot of us aren't. You can find different forums of a lot of people. I'm in one for people with desk jobs. Just look at the forums and find some you'd like to join if any. People are very friendly & motivate you. Right now I'm getting maybe 1000 steps a day because I'm recovery from surgery before surgery I was getting around 10000 steps a day. I'm hoping to do better after my surgery. Welcome & find you some friends.

Hello everyone

I just got my fitbit today. I am excited to incorporate the fitbit into my lifestyle changes. I began my journey one step at a time and now I am hoping of a more accurate count of my steps.

[Nicole77o]

Afternoon, just finally connected my FitBit

Now time to get the body moving and use it to its full potential and get me to mine.

[ac7ss]

New here. Got my Fitbit ONE on Monday, started using it yesterday.

I recently was using a Jawbone UP, but due to an engineering flaw jumped ship to the Fitbit community. Already liking the community aspect more than the UP. More conversation, less fiat "Congratulations" posts in the app.

Feel free to add me to your friends. I am not too good at making my steps goal, but working on it.
