Just got my Fitbit this past Friday and have been enjoying it so far. Been logging my steps and excited to try it out in the gym. I have to say the alarm option has made it easier to get up in the mornings now.  Can't wait to learn from you guys!

Hello!

I have had my fitbit for 1 week and love it!  I find that it can be a very motivational tool.   l like being able to track my progress and am hoping to be able to share my experiences and learn from others along my fitness journey.

Have a great week everyone!

My FitBit has stopped syncing. Yes i have rebooted my laptop, logged out, logged back in.....and followed numerous suggestions. Why doesn’t FitBit have a button on the Dashboard or Log page that says "SYNC NOW" why all the hassle?? There is no way I can diet, work OT, and workout, then get home and fight with my FitBit for over an hour trying to get this thing to work....such a hassle and my patience is gone. FitBit catch a clue....it is ALL over the internet that syncing this thing is the biggest hassle and a huge let down. I was so excited and have seen amazing changes in the way i eat and exercise but my cortisol is reaching its boiling point and i am starting to gain weight because the thing won’t sync and i am completely stressed out. I need help…please …

[KathyApple]

I feel your frustration. ?I couldn't even figure out the fitbit flex i first bought, and took it back to costco for a refund. ?Then i learned from a post i'd made here after someone gave me directions right when i got back from costco, that i was only minus a few steps to figuring it out, but never knew it. ?I told fitbit they desperately need to have their instructions stated in a paper that comes with your fitbit, not just a token "go to fitbit.Com". ?I do believe there is a way to manually force a sync, and i think i found it by mistake once after much searching. ?Please somebody tell us how to manually force a sync. ?I have a fitbit one, but we all need to know how to do this!

Day three owning a Flex and I got my 10 000 steps badge! That goal buzz gave me a little scare, feeling it for the first time lol. Fitbit has a motivating strategy: you get you badge with congrats and then they ask you: "Think you could make it to 15 000 for another badge?" Hell yes I can, watch me!

I had a pedometer that died before this, now I LOVE my FitBit Zip.  I think it helps me to be more active.

[KathyApple]

Awesome! ?Which fitbit model did you get?

I have the Zip.  Yesterday I worked out with a personal trainer at the gym & she was also wearing a FitBit Zip!  

[KathyApple]

I got the Fitbit one because it was recommended by a friend, after I had originally bought the Flex, and after 5 hours of frustration, returned it to Costco!! ?I'm glad things worked out this way, I like the screen on the ONE which the flex did not have. ?I also bought the Aria weight scales and ?I LOVE THEM!! ?I totally splurged with my mad money for months, but it's worth it!! ?~~ ?Kathy Applebee

New today and was just wondering if the notifications of every half mile that I selected will come through my flex or will it come through my mobile device?

[Pat_M]

Thanks very much for the welcome. I guess by your screen name that you are possibly a dog owner, Keeshond which  also know as The Dutch Barge Dog. I have been promising myself a Fit Bit Flex for a while and last Friday I purchased one and so far so good . I have used an Omron Pedometer for the last 10 years so it was time to upgrade, and so far its working just fine.The Flex certainly has some great features as you say with the flashing lights and vibrations. It's certainly got everything I need and I like the way it can be used with my phone, tablet and PC. That's just great it's one of things I really like about it because it puts all the information at hand so it makes a visit to my Doctor and Cardiologist very easy and it's also great for my Cardiac Rehabilitation Program which I am attending. Being able to log everything in one place will be a great boom to me. Well I have rambled on long enough. Would it be Ok if I add you as a friend.

Regards,

Pat

Sorry, I have no idea about this question, because I have a ONE, and didn't realize Fitbit could notify us like that/ ?I'll look into it!
