Come say hello & introduce yourself! (Dec 2021)

[NellyG]

Hi everyone.

This is a new 'Lets say Hi' thread. Whether you are a long time Fitbit User or a brand new one, say Hi and introduce yourselves and tell us a bit about you.

If you can't think of anything to tell us, try these questions:

• What is your favourite Fitbit?
• What is your favourite exercise or Activity?
• What is your main goal in using your Fitbit? 
• What is your biggest wish from Fitbit?

I am looking forward to meeting you all.

So I'm a bit late to the party, but here you go:

1.) Right now, it's the Sense because that's the one that has the most functionality that I need for my job.  I'm an Activity Director, so while I am required to carry a phone with me, it doesn't mean I have a hand free to answer it.  Having the ability to answer the phone is a huge help.

2.) I love to dance, and like @NellyG who was one of the inspirations for me to try this style....I love to Ballroom dance!

3.) I use mine to hold me accountable!

4.) My biggest wish (and they are well-aware of this!) is Multi-Tracker Support!

• What is your favourite Fitbit?
•       I like the Alta HR, but just purchased the Sense. But I hate the short, magnetic chargers they have now.
• What is your favourite exercise or Activity?
•       I lead a sedentary life AT THE MOMENT, but I hope to change that (without tripping, I have mild Cerebral Palsy)
• What is your main goal in using your Fitbit? 
•        Main goal is to start walking again. Pandemic has made me very lazy, exercise wise.
• What is your biggest wish from Fitbit?
•       N/A not sure yet.

[NellyG]

Welcome @newbiewitsense  I'm the opposite of you - I love the new magnetic charging cables! I really didn't like the Alta clip style ones at all! Guess we are all different. Good luck with your walking. I think the pandemic made a lot of people less fit.

I wish you well on your journey to reclaimed fitness @newbiewitsense! Very inspirational. 💪🏻

Hey @RosyLeah I think this is such a healthy and positive approach to addressing underlying arthritic issues. I understand adding the spice Turmeric to dishes has a natural anti-inflammatory response which may be helpful for you too, so long as your doctor is happy for you to try it. ☺

[RosyLeah]

Thank you for the info. I have also heard tumeric is helpful in controlling
inflammation. I see my rheumatologist the first week of January. As she is
holistic in her approach, I will ask her what would be right for me to do.
May your journey to better health be an adventure 😊for you.

Hi, tried fitbit back in 2017. Now trying again 20 pounds later.  Gotta lose this belly, butt and thigh fat!

[NellyG]

Good luck on reaching your goal @Tkfield

I only have one Fitbit...the Charge 3.  My favorite exercises would be biking or hiking.  I also do some intense isometrics.  My main goal when I bought it was to track my heart rate and steps, as a sort of team effort with someone else.  My biggest wish from Fitbit is a way to make the display on the Charge 3 more visible in direct sunlight, without having to upgrade the device. 

[NellyG]

Hi @Shadowspan The Charge 3 is a great tracker but I don't think software updates can do anything for the screen britghtness unfortunately. I think it is hardware - the type of screen they used.

[AndreaFitbit]

Hey hey hey! I just found about this thread. I have had Fitbits since 2014 I think... My favorite ones are some of the oldies. I loved my Fitbit One (that was my first Fitbit) and liked the Flex 2 because I was able to wear my regular watch without looking awkward.

Now I have the Fitbit Luxe and like it because of its slim design. I have small wrists, so it fits perfectly. 

Welcome to our community to our new members! 😁

Hi, I'm Crystal. I'm new to the online community. I use a Charge 2 and love it. However, I would like to see Fitbit incorporate counting carbs as well. As a diabetic, this is important to me. Thank you for reading.

[NellyG]

Hi @CrystalS.  That is a great suggestion. How about adding to Feature Suggestions 

[AndreaFitbit]

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @CrystalS.. Charge 2 is a nice device. 

Thank you for sharing your suggestion with us. You can add it to the provided link.

Keep on visiting the forums. 

[nickpt]

Hi @CrystalS. I think Fitbit already tracks carbs and other macros in the food log on the app...

You just enter in the foods you're eating throughout the day and Fitbit tracks all sorts of useful info! ☺

Rose. New to community.  Not sure how "fitbit" will help health problems for me, I do understand it gives me the information to monitor certain factors of my well-being. In spite of this I am "Living The Dream"..

[NellyG]

Hi @Dejsylkie You are right, Fitbits are not medical devices. But the information they provide can certainly help with getting fitter and because of that, healthier. I find I am much more aware of keeping moving and monitoring my fitness since wearing a fitbit. Welcome to the Community.

[NellyG]

Hi @tweetylove  Welcome to the forums. Versa 3 is a lovely watch. I hope you are enjoying it! 

The way I invite friends is to tap on the person's user name, then select 'Go to profile' and select 'Add Friend'. There may be another way, but if there is, I don't know it!
