Welcome Pat M. I like the signature. 😉
Sort of new person here. Have technically been a FitBit person for years. My husband pre-ordered one in advance of their release, and he's been dedicated to it. I started several months after him, but depsite my desire to stick with things I just couldn't seem to keep the darned thing on me. I'd do ok for a few days, then forget to clip it on, and slide down into failure. Women's office styles just do not lend themselves to good places to clip on things without people asking if it was some sort of new heart or blood sugar monitor ("Are you ok?"), or the unit falling out of pockets, and BFC (bra, front and center) ended up with replacing laundered units. *sigh* My old data has more holes than swiss cheese.
So, I finally got on the Flex train. It's only been 5 days, but this is working great. Set it and forget it. I've made my goal every day since because I can look down and see it there on my wrist and I get up and walk around. I really disliked the cloth sleep band for the other unit. Something about it would actually make me wake up in my sleep and remove it without being aware that I had done so. Litttle Flex stays there the whole night.
Some folks are into a lot of data. I really just want some simple goals and motivation. I like that the Flex isn't giving me specific steps (without checking a smartphone or computer), just the little lights. "Oh look, another light is on!" I love the happy-dance the Flex does when I hit the day's goal.
Good luck other new folks, may we all discover wonderful horizons a few steps down the road.
