Come say hi & introduce yourself (2019)

[FitbitCommunity]

Welcome to the Fitbit family!

Whether you've just got your Fitbit or have been with us for years, share a little about yourself with the wider Fitbit fam. You might find someone with the same interests or even the same health goals as you. You can say hi any way you like but if you're stuck, kick it off with: 

1. Where in the world are you?
2. What is your current health/fitness goal?
3. How do you like to stay fit?
4. What motivates you?
5. Favorite guilty pleasure

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi there,

I've just started with my Fitbit  My goal is 12,000 steps/day.  I'd like to keep moving, improve my cardio and endurance, lose some weight along the way.  Right now I'm looking at trying to get to 5K steps/day and working my way up from there.

Looking forward to hearing from you along the way!

@APimenta  Welcome! Love Colorado. My sister lives there

@TerriBug  Welcome I'm sure you will get to the 12K per day. Takes time!

Hey Fitbit fam!

It's been a wonderful 4 years but I am moving on to Apple simply because your products are useless. Purchased 2 Aces, they both malfunctioned after a month. I'm still waiting on that call back from customer service to help resolve the issue. Called them in April. My brand new versa went completely black after only 4 months of use and yes it was fully charged. Battery life is terrible, doesn't last very long after the first 2 months. Customer service, the WORST, they never return calls or know how to trouble shoot and the wait to speak with someone....get comfortable because it's gonna be a while. Was bounced from one person to the next, not one rep could help me. They resolved my issue by telling me they would contact me when they were able to fix the "technical issues" they were having. That was over 2 months ago! Your products are garbage and so is your customer service.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Ivan and I am in Summerville, SC. I am a former DII XCTF athlete and ping pong connoisseur. I am trying to get back into athletic shape with long distance running and returning to a weekly running and workout regimen. I have joined the Fitbit community because I am interested in helping other people work on reaching distance and time goals through personal support, workout advice, and training plans. I hope to one day maybe even help you! My daily late night binge of YouTube and mobile games is a rare sight to behold, but a milkshake every now and then doesn't hurt! 🙂

[WendyB]

Welcome @IvanHenderson  Great to have you here! Oh did you say Milkshake? Yummmmm

Welcome @SunsetRunner 

Beach Body is a good work out. I have used it before. I switch a lot for variety

I think my DH will be your new BFF. He loves Bourbon as well and has several different types
