Come say hi & introduce yourself (2019)

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.

Hello, everyone! I'm Becca 🙂

• Where in the world are you? Washington state, USA
• What is your current health/fitness goal? To drop back down to the "normal" weight I stayed at for 5 years, which I am far, far above right now, and to generally develop better eating and exercise habits.
• How do you like to stay fit? As of right now, it's mostly just walking, and some dancing. I also love swimming, but with the current world situation, that's not happening anytime soon. I definitely need to work back up to anything else if I'm going to manage more than a few minutes at a time.
• What motivates you? I want to adopt within the next few years, and I really want to be able to run around with my kid, carry them, play with them, etc. I also really want to improve my depression symptoms, and fitting back into my little black dress isn't a bad motivator either haha
• Favorite guilty pleasure: Ice cream and too much YouTube (mostly Let's Plays)

Hi; I have had several Fitbits along the way.  Live in FL - humid!!! Vary work outs everyday; long time fitness fan. Currently have Versa and lately it is given me a lot of trouble.  Few weeks ago started not holding the charge, gradually down to less than 24 hrs.  I virtually "chatted" with a team member a couple of days ago, felt like I was mostly getting canned answers (" So sorry you are having problems") and not much else.  Was advised to let the battery drain completely, then charge it, and see hoe long it would again take to drain.  Problem is that, after having it drain completely, it does not react to any attempts to be recharged.  Left it plugged in overnight and still nothing.  Any help?  Thank you.

Afternoon.  I'm from Dundee, Scotland.  I'm just trying to move more.  I really don't like exercise so that's very tough but I am trying to increase how much I walk in a day. My main motivation is my son and dogs. Although having had to look at them and nothing else for the last few months - novelty wore of pretty quick!!!

@vix71 Hi! 👋🏻

Might want to be careful with this whole “be more active, walk more” business! Exercise can become addictive! 😂 Happy walking!

Hi Neighbor.

What part of Washington. I was in Seattle/Bellevue and Edgewood for nearly 20 years.

Swimming (water aerobics for 2.5 years) was a great exercise for me too. I miss it. I wish you luck on your goals and plans. Children are a blessing.

[beardawn]

Yes, I look forward to it. Enjoy your summer.

I live in Florida, Winter Park.  Hard to stay active due to extreme heat and humidity - both in the 90s..But swimming, bike riding (early), Pilates, etc. help.  Right now the virus is spiking here so not going to the gym at all. 

My Versa is right now driving me crazy - charge lasts only 24 hrs max.  Also gets "stuvck" in a mode and cant get out of it for a while.  Not happy.
