Hey everyone! I've been around Fitbit since the beginning. I was one of the first in my community to purchase. I'm pretty private though and have been solo in my adventures. I enjoy watching everyone work hard at getting fit and encourage everyone that I can to join in. It's not how much you have to do it's really how little you have to start to make a big difference. I encourage everyone to take measurements and pictures in the beginning and not fret over your weight. 

1. Where in the world are you? Abilene, Tx
2. What is your current health/fitness goal? Just to maintain and tone
3. How do you like to stay fit? I love to walk, jog and Ride a bike. Currently I have purchased a Stealth board and have enjoyed core exercising! 
4. What motivates you? Doing the best I can at eating healthy, exercising and letting my body get as fit as I'm able. I love the feeling of being fit. 
5. Favorite guilty pleasure? Probably Alcohol. I enjoy a glass of wine or rum in the evening.

Welcome to all of you!

@Gregor5453: I love doing Leslie Walk at home!

@Raggster: I have been thinking about a Stealth Board do you like it?

@Nubs: Your power walking group sounds awesome! But I'm not even close

[Nubs]

If you ever visit the NYC area. Let me know. We would love to have you for a visit walk.

The stealth board is hard but it’s a blast! I recommend the orange board. It’s a little larger plus it’s American made!

[Raggster]

Thanks for the invite but probably won’t be coming that way anytime soon! Lol And now I have a new guilty pleasure! Hahaha

1. Waar ben je in hemelsnaam? 
   Ik woon in Nederland  in een buitenwijk van Rotterdam met mijn man 
2. Wat is uw huidige gezondheids- / fitnessdoel?
   Zoals ik bij mijn Profiel al heb staan ..ik heb COPD en bij de gunstigste meting 48% longfunctie (het is ook al 39 %geweest ) 
   Bewegen is dus voor mij net zo belangrijk als eten en slapen , het houd me nog een beetje op gang .
   Sinds de Corona is het nog lastiger omdat ik vanwege de risico's niet naar werk mag en een tijd lang niet naar de sportschool kon , ik hoop dat als ik weer meting krijg dat de schade beperkt is gebleven ...maar het is zo al beter dan corona krijgen natuurlijk 
3. Hoe wil je fit blijven?
   Ik probeer elke dag 8000 stappen te doen , ga 3 maal per week sporten en houd mijn voeding in  de gaten met myfitnesspal app
4. Wat motiveert je?
   Ik wil graag zo lang mogelijk functioneel  blijven (liefst ook zonder zuurstof )
5. Favoriete schuldig genoegen
   Soms heb ik gewoon een (vr)eetbui en is alles goed waar ik op kan kauwen   😎

[Raggster]

I bought the cheap one too! Lol
I’ve kept up with the FB group and wished I had picked the larger board. It still does the same thing! Lol

Hello 

[D-tail]

Hi people,
I got my first Fitbit (Charge 4) in April and so far I am absolutely loving it. But I still need to figure out how to get active here and connect with people. I guess posting here is a start, but I would be grateful for any tips on how to best connect with others 🙂

Where in the world are you?:
I live in Berlin, Germany. But I will move to Barcelona, Spain in October and I am very excited about it.

What is your current health/fitness goal?:
I want to get down to 70kg(height 186cm) and then build muscle mass up to 75 Kg.
Also I want to run a 100 mile race below 16 hours looking long term, for my first run, below 24 hours is a success.(yes I know,  just finishing would be a success as well)

How do you like to stay fit?:
Running in barefoot shoes, Hiking, all kinds of sports that include a ball and bodyweight workouts.

What motivates you?:
The elevated mood, enhanced processing power and drive that results from being active a lot. After some time,long runs started to feel almost like meditations to me.

Favorite guilty pleasure:
There is no guilt in pleasure 😋😇
