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

[CAGIRL]

Which Fitbit do you have? I've used the Zip, One, Charge HR and now have the Surge. I don't have to do anything to track stairs. When I walk up the stairs or hike up a hill, this information appears both on the screen I now have with the Surge as well as in the Fitbit app. The zip I don't think counted stairs. With the One, I was able to toggle between steps, stairs and calories.

Hey CAGIRL

The reason I bought Fitbit was because of the HR feature. I love it! 

I always feel sleep deprived during the weekdays and in weekends I'd sleep most of the time. 

Trying get hold of good sleeping and exercising habits!

Hi @everyone

@Jennieann68 

Happy Birthday!

How does one add anyone as a friend from the discussion groups?  Sorry for the newbie question. 

[Tamataz]

I have flex but I see floors as part of my dashboard login, but it never seems to do anything, in spite of my walking upstairs several times a day.

Floors

The Tile should only be available when having a tracker which is capable of tracking floors, the flex doesn't support this function.

Hi there, 

I have FitBit for sometime now but just started using it again this week, so you could say I'm new too 🙂

@vish0911 I bet the sleep tracker will help
You with that.

Thank you @QueenM

I am trialling this as I am looking for an app that isn't dominated by ads. I set up Myfitnesspal but couldn't stand the ads.

Glad you're here. I love my Fitbit for what it does but the real value I am finding comes in the form of this great community of people and the fun challenges Fitbit provides. To our health! 🙂

Hi Sue... Ray here.  I'm new too to this thingie on my wrist.  Not sure where I'm going with this new contraption but looks to be kinda fun.

[Snowman3637]

I have the Flex here.  Not sure what this contraption will do yet.  Today will be the first REAL day of use.

Hi Ray,

My name is Brian. I just started last Tuesday.  Like any habit, be it making or breaking one, studies show it takes about 21 days to really settle into the habit. The great thing about this habit (wearing a fitbit) is pretty simple; remembering to remove for showers is all).  For me, the real benefit of this tool is the encouraging community that comes with it.  

I hope you enjoy your first full day with Fitbit.  🙂

To your health. 

Brian
