HI EVERYONE!,

Where in the world are you? I live in Southern (Floyd Knobs) Indiana and I live 10 to 15 minutes from Louisville KY.

1. What is your current health/fitness goal? My current health is to get into shape. I’m a Special Olympics Of Indiana Athlete. I’m a seasonal player. I started in the Fall 2017 in Bowling.Then in early part of 2018 I started in Snow Shoeing. Then in the Summer of 2018 I started in Volleyball, then EKS Games I play Corn Toss and then after bowling Of 2018 I started 3 on 3 Basketball. I also like to walk and run, with my family. I like to learn how to ride a bike and I like to ride my recommend exercise bike. I like gardening and being out side. And doing Yoga and weights.
    My fitness goal is to try to put other exercise regime into my daily exercising and put that into a daily regimen and keep an exercise and food journal. As well as portion control and healthy foods. My Mom, Dad and I have been on Keto since Jan 2, 2019 and we lost all together a size of a petit person.
2. How do you like to stay fit? I like to stay as much active on a daily bases. I like to do a mixture of things. I also like to keep a log of my workouts so I can keep track. I currently for this year am getting a Fitbit Versa 2 and used to have a Fitbit Flex for the longest time.
3. What motivates you? My success thus far in my weight, my breathing and I guess stanima. In doing Keto and staying active. I like the results I’m seeing and experiencing thus far.
4. Favorite guilty pleasure? LOL. Is it okay if I list more than one? My guilty pleasures are Alfredo sauce and pasta especially from Olive Garden. Fried biscuits, apple butter, fried chicken, and chicken and dumplings all homemade, we have a restraint in southern Indiana called Huber’s that is known for just that. Chocolate candies and especially the gordellies candies and the special peppermint ones. Being on Keto I cant have a lot of these things. Every once in a while I’ll have a cheat day but, it is not that too often.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome @dzipperle  Yum I love Alfredo. 😁

Hello,
I am new to this board but have been using my fitbit alta for years, however, my sleep tracking is off by a long shot.  I have been looking for a way to change the sensitivity to Normal.  Logged in on my computer and it is nowhere to be found.  Can someone help?  Thank you!

Hello Fitbit, I'm Hadley From Canada. Right now I'm In Canada. I've  been on Fitbit from Dec,16th,2019- Dec 17th,2019. Today is the 17th when posted. So I have no Fitbit. I want a Fitbit Versa 2. So I hooe

Hi everyone! 😉 So many people here, I loved reading everyone's posts. It's my turn... 

1. Where in the world are you? Guatemala City.
2. What is your current health/fitness goal? Tone my body.
3. How do you like to stay fit? Walk as much as I can everyday. 
4. What motivates you? Have a good shape. I'm thin (I don't even have to lose weight), but don't like my body shape. For you to get an idea my height is 1.64 cm and weight is 105 lbs (110 every Monday after the weekend 😂, but by Wednesday I'm back to 105 or 106 lbs). Also, another thing that motivates me is having so much better health, need to quit sweet food and junk food as soon as I can, but is Christmas season (so difficult right now). 🙄
5. Favorite guilty pleasure? Sweets get me.. I can't even tell what's my guilty pleasure. Last Thursday @LanuzaFitbit gave me a dozen of doughnuts and by Sunday there was not even one doughnut left. 😪

Good news is that in Feb of 2020 I will start again with the Keto diet (I did it only for 2 months this year and I loved it).

Hi Everyone! 

I live in the San Francisco bay area, but NJ/NYC is home. Exercise is an important part of my well being. Currently, my goal is to lose weight, again. Luckily, I do enjoy exercise and being outdoors. Results motivate me along with reading other motivational stories in the Fitbit Community. 

My guilty pleasure is food. All food, with a few exceptions. I love food. Oh and wine too, it goes well with food. 

@MarreFitbit your #5 made me lol. 😁

[WendyB]

Welcome @Doggo001  Great to have you here!

@MarreFitbitLOL on 5. You didn't share your donuts?

@KateFitbit  Yum you got me on wine. Love it!
