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 @LokeAa, @JackieM65 and @Hugheees. 

Thanks for your advise @LokeAa, I'll check Nordic walking. As you know, sometimes my balance is really bad. I tried joining your challenge but I didn't arrive on time. 

@lynnedavies1156, please take care of yourself and have a lovely day.

@Hugheees, I'm good. I hope your day is good too. 😉

Keep on visiting the forums. 

[Hugheees]

Thank you so much @lynnedavies, for your cheering me up in my exercise, also I will like to work in hand with you.

I guess is better we book time of meeting  ourselves on-line before we go on our exercise and to know a particular program of exercise we have to do.

Thanks once again, I'm happy to hear from you.✌️✌️🌹❣️

Hello Fitbit friends, my name is Michael hughes.

Get in touch for more updates.

Hi @AndreaFitbit . Hope you are fine this summer of 2021. I noticed you joined our challenge. Bingo, right? As far as I remember you did not miss by much. The Bingo is calculated individually, so join us again. If you can think "Ok, I only need 300 steps extra every day, then I will cross the finish line in time. Motivating right? As I said, individual goals, sometimes I don't stand a chance. If I have had 2 intense weeks of running,I would need Fitbit Bingo as my profession 😂😂😂

I have another impossible challenge at the moment, I have to try, if I don't make it the others wont either. That sucks

[AndreaFitbit]

Have an amazing weekend @lynnedavies1156 and @Hugheees. 🤗

@LokeAa, I didn't understand the Bingo game, so I have it on hold. I missed the All for One challenge. My Fitbit didn't have charge when it started and left my charging cable at home. I thought it wasn't a long challenge but it's still there and doesn't let me in. 

Have a great day everyone! 💓 

[lynnedavies1156]

You too AndreaFitbit and all the other Fitbit community, sorry about the
bingo, I don't understand it either, but will have a look into it, have a
great weekend all😊😊😊

[AndreaFitbit]

Thank you @lynnedavies1156. If I find out how Bingo works I'll let you know. 😄

Have a great weekend too!

Hi, I've been a Fitbit wearer/user for 10 years starting with the Ultra, then One.  Through the years I have found Fitbit to be very accurate (for most things) and incredibly helpful and motivating in my healthy lifestyle journey.  I haven't gotten on Fitbit Community or Forums much as I was very involved on SparkPeople for many years and lead a few teams.  Sadly and unfortunately, SP is closing down in August, 2021.  I am hoping Fitbit or another health and fitness site will be able to fill in the gap.  

I love stats!  So Fitbit and the app are great with that.  I check my stats all the time competing with me...I don't want to compete with others in my personal journey as my goals are tailored to my specific needs just as they would be for anyone else.  I'd rather share the journey with others and cheer them on.  

It has been very difficult for me to lose weight no matter how I eat or lower calories or workout.  My metabolism seems to work backwards! (not really, just seems that way) Since having my gallbladder out and having an immense amount of stress, that hasn't helped the weight loss.  That coupled with trouble sleeping and anxiety...yeah.

I just graduated from the Ionic which I loved to the Sense.  My Ionic is still working after 1.5 years, but the medal on the back around the sensors is corroding and I believe that is due to swimming.  I cleaned my Ionic per Fitbit recommended instructions, but it still corroded to the point of causing skin irritation.  So I upgraded to the Sense.  It is nice and has a lot of great features, but it is new and I am still getting used to it.  

The negatives so far are the raised bezel which can easily be scratched...not a good idea for a device used by very active people! Also, I was disappointed at the cheap band it came with.  The haptic button was a pain at first, but I finally got that figured out.  Learning curve.  

But I will not give up!  

Where in the world are you? In the U.S.  Midwest

What is your current health/fitness goal? I want to be healthy and lose weight.  I have a lot of food sensitivities and intolerance so that makes it challenging, but not impossible.

How do you like to stay fit? Walking, weight training, speed and heavy bags and playing with my dogs.  (Great Pyrenees love the outdoors!)

What motivates you? That someday I will be at my ideal weight and feel healthy like I should.  That it is possible.  I want to be active and healthy with my family and dogs.

Favorite guilty pleasure...I don't believe in a guilty pleasure.  

I wish everyone the very best!  Here's to getting and staying healthy!

Hi have some similar goals and issues and def prefer comparing myself to myself. I will send you a friend request.Just let me know how you best like support and want/need! Hope this community can fill the gap.

I am Barb W in Ottawa and luv DOGS!!

[LokeAa]

Have a good weekend everyone. "Tropical Norway" hit today, when it gets too hot, I like to sit in this small waterfall. Looks like it is in the middle of nowhere, but no. 12 minutes from downtown Oslo.😉

[CathyG7]

Beautiful and Peaceful. 

[lynnedavies1156]

Hi, I will certainly be your friend, I am so happy tonight as I have got in
touch with a good friend of mine named Vicky whom I haven't actually been
in touch with for over 34 years!!! But sadly she now is disabled and in a
wheelchair through having MS, I am so pleased to say that I am finally
going to meet up with her soon ! Anyhow, I am honoured that you have sent
me a friend request, and will keep you posted as to how I am, you take care
and will keep in touch x

[CathyG7]

Thank you! 

How wonderful that you will see your friend. I am sorry she is suffering from MS. That is tough. Good that you will be able to support her through this. 

Thanks again and we'll talk soon. 

[YojanaFitbit]

@CathyG7 Wow, you've been with us for so many years. You've seen so many changes around! I hope you can find other health and fitness site, that's too bad. And you're right it's better when you share your journey with friends. Hang in there, I'm sure you will get to your desire weight soon. Thank you for following the steps to clean your Fitbit, I think that our team already gave you a hand with this. Good to see that you're using now a Fitbit Sense. And please don't give up, if you need help with you Fitbit feel free to post your questions on the Product Help Forums too. Thank you for your best wishes! Sending virtual hugs... 🤗

@BWGrace I also prefer to compare myself to myself. See you around Barb!

@LokeAa Amazing view! Thank you for sharing that amazing phone. I felt like swimming all of the sudden.

@lynnedavies1156 I'm glad to see that you're finding friends around. Loved your story. Sorry to hear about your friend with MS. Good thing is that you look like a great friend.

[CathyG7]

Thank you so much for your kind words YojanaFitbit. I have stayed with Fitbit because I believe in the mission and the products. They are durable and very accurate and offer so many stats. 

You mentioned that there may be something you could do for me regarding the issue with my Ionic?  It was a good solid reliable device! Please let me know.  Thanks again!

[YojanaFitbit]

@CathyG7 Yes, of course! I'll send you a PM right now. 😉

[lynnedavies1156]

Thank you for your email, and I would really appreciate it if you could let
me know, thanks again Andrea Fitbit Take care.
