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.

Greetings all, brand new to this, got my Inspire HR about 2 weeks ago and only joined premium yesterday.  51 year old male, unfit, overweight and diagnosed with fibromyalgia 16 years ago.  Looking for friends for challenges who understand that there may be periods of inactivity on my part due to not feeling good.

1. Where in the world are you? Cape Town, South Africa
2. What is your current health/fitness goal? lose weight, tone muscle and help fibro attacks to be milder
3. How do you like to stay fit? walking, working around house, boxing and some weights
4. What motivates you? my wife (who has MS), myself and small pushes from friends
5. Favorite guilty pleasure Those **ahem**ed cigarettes and parties with friends

Welcome to our community @Raider8623. It's nice to see you here. 😀

I'm glad that you have set goals to help fibro attacks be milder. I totally understand the periods of inactivity and can add you to the challenges I make sometimes. Pushes from friends help a lot. 

Have fun and enjoy your Inspire HR, it can help you with your goals.

Good Evening All..

I am new to the Fitbit Community.  I'm from the Golden State.  My health goals include increasing my weekly cardio and incorporating stretching in my daily routine.  I stay healthy, balanced, and fit by being adventurous and loving my fruits and veggies (oh and I drink lots of herbal tea, from Rooibos to Mint tea.)  I am self-motivated.  My guilty pleasures? None- I feel zero guilt when I indulge in sweets, because life is too short to feel guilty about a scrumptious treat, but instead I savor the sweetness, the flavor, the texture and simply enjoy whatever it is that gives me pleasure.  Try it!

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Janet-I. 

I like your thought about the guilty pleasures. 😀 You're right, life is too short to feel guilty about a treat.

You can check our Healthy Eating board where you can trade recipes, nutrition wisdom and more. 

Thank you for being part of our community.

Hi.I'm Barb in Ottawa.I have chronic health issues & this Covid period has led to weight gain,(obesity),severe muscle atrophy & weakness,heart deconditioning,(already had heart condition & asthma),increased pain,& a sedentary isolated inert lifestyle.I would luv a newbie buddy who has similar health challenges so we can support each other to get moving and do self care consistently .I luv The Arts,dogs/cats,trees & creativity.Hello?are you out there?😉

[AndreaFitbit]

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @BWGrace. Thanks for sharing your actual situation, Covid has brought different challenges for all of us. I didn't gain weigh but I don't walk as I used to and need the exercise. 

I start challenges and can add you, I understand that you won't be able to walk the same every day. I try adding friends that don't walk that much in order to create the willing to improve and not to get disappointed (I have friends that walk 25k steps daily when my goal is now 3K).

Your profile picture says that you love arts and creativity. 

Thanks for  being part of our community!

Hi Andrea! Yes plse add me to your friends group.I really really need encouragement to get going and to be consistent despite my health issues.Where would i go to see comments or to comment on others? Yes, i did intro myself but not sure where to find likeminded pple willing to buddy.It would also be gr8 to connect with pple in my city ottawa and i have no personal friends on fitbit.Anyways..today i hit 5 min more of walking and my avge HR was a few beats higher.Its hard to go high because my heart medication wants it to stay lower otherwise my resting hr is 100.

Thx.hope your day is going well

Namaste

Barb

[AndreaFitbit]

Thanks for getting back to us @BWGrace. Yes, I'll add you to my challenges. 😀 I sent you a friend request in order to be able to add you. 

Little by little you'll improve your HR and resting HR with some exercise and don't forget a healthy diet. 

You can introduce yourself on this thread and add that you would like meeting friends from your city. 

Welcome aboard @youngarney! You can tell us more about you replying to the questions above.
