Brand New Member Today

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

[QueenM]

hi Sue, welcome to Fitbit, just take it one step at time, park far and walk, don't try to get the closest parking spot, make 50% of your meals raw. Good luck.

Another fitbit newbie here.  Got a gift of a flex from my sister. There was no dongle in the package - do I need to buy one separately to sync my info?

Thanks 🙂

[Rich_Laue]

@rsom do you have a phone that you can sync through. The dongle is only needed if you want to us a computer. Some People don't care to sync through or even have a computer. I would http://contact.Fitbit.com and let them no that your missing.

[rsom]

Yes!  Can use my iphone.....thank you 🙂

I am also very new to anything like this.  Takes a while understanding the lights.  How does one get "floor" activity to work?   

[Rich_Laue]

If you have a Flex it does not count floors. On the others their is nothing to do

[SunsetRunner]

On trackers which do count floors, it counts floors when going upstairs only.

New member here so feel free so add me as a friend for some competition.

My story - This time last year i hammered the exercise, mainly circuit training at my local leisure centre and managed to go from 13 1/2 stone to 12 1/2 which ive maintained. Along with this i did my 1st 10k run in May and Tough Mudder in Sept which actually wasn't that tough but very very fun.

This year i want to toned up and increase stamina etc so thought the Charge HR was a great tool for this as i have the all day tracking along with heart rate monitoring so i can make sure im exercising in my peak HR.

Welcome to the community @Kennicott

The only info on my friends that I see is the number of steps. That motivates me to try for more. It shows the last seven days total for each of us. Weight, food, etc. does not show. I agree, I don't want to share my weight at all. Ever.

I got my Fitbit Charge HR today and so far, although I've ministering on a run/workout yet, it seems a good bit of kit. No-one else I know has one (so far) so how can I add people of the same/similar age, weight, activity level.

[SunsetRunner]

There's no search function to find other people with about the same goals..
