I am new to the fitbit community. I am hoping wearing this will help me to get more active.

I just got my fitbit this weekend.  I am really liking the app and the device.  Please feel free to add me as a friend.  Looking for people to challenge and motivate.  Thanks ! 

[MaddieMo]

Can anyone help on an issue I have. I want to clear my fitbit data on phone and start from scratch as if a brand new fitbit but cannot see how to do this. Many thanks MM

Hi all,

I brought a fitbit Surge at the weekend as I've always struggled to keep track of my training/food intake, which has in turn affected the results I see.  So far I'm really impressed and the wireless Sync is just thing I need to make my post work/workout evenings as easy as possible.

I look forward to connecting with the community.

Hi !  I love my fitness pal.  I use it to log all my food intake.  I love the fact that I can scan food barcodes instead of manually entering data!  What's your experience been like?

[Kazzyp]

Hi like you I also like this app, it makes you stop and think before eating and as long as the barcode is from a recognised brand it works great

Regards
Karen

I'm semi-new.  I had the fitbit zip but recently invested in the HR.   I love it.  It's helping me get serious about getting in shape.

HI Everyone--- I'm a newbie today - Just received my box from Amazon - overcame the temporary laptop sync issue and ready to get back to loving to move! I've been walking 1-2 times a day over the last few weeks  and was relying on my Samsung built in step tracker- problem is I don't carry my phone constantly - I'm trusting in my new FitBit One(I started out on the cheap to make sure I like it and will use it wisely) will keep me motivated and moving. Too much computer work --- I have standup desk at the office but when I WFH I sit too long - I bought a bright pink band to use for those days to remind myself to check my steps and get up and move! My goals are big (30+ lbs at a minimum) but I know I can do it and my health is more important than the numbers. Best wishes to everyone on the community ---- Stay positive and take care of yourself --- no one can do it for us -- we have to take care of ourselves!

Hi All,

Just started using my Fitbit HR 2 days ago and really just trying to make the most of it.  I appreciate any input on the new lifestyle that I started roughly 6 months ago which has led to me losing 53 pounds.  Still looking to shed at least another 5, maybe 10.  Looking forward to great topics and great people!  -Joe

[HelenaFitbit]

@TallCJ  I know the feeling after sitting for too long, use any minutes you can to walk around the office and get even more steps, I know you can do it 

@JoeJ-TX that is an incredible weight loss, keep rocking it!

Welcome to the forums guys!

Hi everyone, Im new here too. I took off with my partners fitbit.

[Sez809]

Hi! New to the community too! Was a Zip owner, but never really bothered with it....I think I made an account and that was it!

Now I have a new Charge, and much more motiviation! I'm very overweight but have lost 4.5stone so far, with a few more to go. I'm starting to try to be more active and I wanted the Charge to be my inspiration and challenger! (If I ever it get it set up properly..but I've asked that question elsewhere!!)

Its quite confusing finding your way around isnt it?? I'll get there though!
