@DenDZ Welcome to the Fitbit community. ITs good to have you. I have a quick question since your in the UK. What is the difference between pounds and stones?

[DenDZ]

Thanks for your welcome Hadden8176. To answer your question, 14 pounds = 1 stone. For instance a weight of 172 pounds would be 12 st 4 lbs (12 stone, 4 pounds).

Hi ...everyone.  I live in Charlotte, NC.  I tried to get in 13 to 15 K steps a day.  Most of the time I like to walk but I enjoy interval running.  But, on those nice days, when my legs are sore and tired, I would get on my bike and ride for miles on the green ways.  My motivation is trying to be flexible, and controlling my weight.  A guilty pleasures are a  good lager beers and cheese cake!  Those are my weakness.

Hi, I'm Sherry Reynolds RN, C. (NurseSherry7)😀. I'm only now finding the
many features that my fitness watch is capable of. I have a charge 3. I am
very impressed to see that I can see the amount of oxygen or my EOV while I
sleep. So wonderful to be learning and staying fit. Stay healthy everyone.

Hi Everyone:

My name is Linda and I am a Zumba Gold Instructor.  Yes, I just got my new Fitbit last Thursday and still trying to figure it out.  I am 120 lbs and want to reach my goal weight of 115 lbs.  I love dancing Zumba 6 days per week and add some strength training 2x per week, along with a 15 minute calm down Yoga at the end of my day.  I am 57 years old and have been working out now 7 years straight.  Fitness is my greatest passion.  Each morning I wake up and go directly to my loft to dance Zumba and some days I go out to my local gym for the leg extension machines.  I have been trending toward Fitness and Wellness for 10 years now.  I got my daughter to join me and now have to keep working on my husband to like exercise.  I was 152 back in 2010 and have been on a Vegetarian/Vegan plant based diet ever since 4/2010.  I lost 32 lbs and have been keeping it off ever since.  I understand weight plateaus too.  That happens to me often.  I just love Fitness and Wellness!  Health is Wealth!

I shopped around and did my research when I was in the market for a fitness tracker/smartwatch. After purchasing the Versa 2 a year or so back, I liked it, but the longer I have owned it, the worse the functionality has gotten. I had an Android phone at first, I now have an IPhone. The watch has trouble staying connected and synced across both platforms and the clock faces are beyond frustrating, especially the ones that display weather or and additional info besides the time and stats. It really seems like since the Versa 3 came out the Versa 2 started having more troubles. Is this just a ploy from Fitbit to get consumers to upgrade to the latest greatest?....I am not a fan at this point and instead of spending $200 each year on a new watch, I'll just bite the bullet, spend $500 and get an iwatch.....sorry, but your product has been very disappointing.

Hi all.  My name is Steve.

1. I am in Mount Eliza, VIC, Au

2. I am training to cycle the Alpine Classic in January (200kms/many many hills.....)

3. see above

4. ditto

5.  Ice cream.  Any time of day is fine.

I am seeking an app or clock face for my versa (1 yr old) that will display active HR in large font so it is readable whilst cycling.  All the clock faces I can find are an indecipherable burst of stats that are unreadable when cycling at 35kph, when all I want at the time is to read and know my HR.  You know, so I kinda don't die.......  Its a first world problem sure, but it would really help with my training.

Thanks.

Have a great day.
