My name is Bob/MrUgly, hailing from Malibu, California and formerly a professional contest surfer from the 1960's.  Thank you Fitbit for keeping me honest.  I'm a designer of many different things including and starting with my highly successful Ugly branded surfboard, which I first made famous in 1966.  I am here today because I'd like to design a watch face that works for me.  I've looked all over the clock face's library and couldn't find what I need in one clock face.  I am now 73 years old and the body isn't functioning like when I was young and my body is slowly diminishing in return.  So I look for pleasing comfortable things that help me function.  I would like to design some clock faces for Fitbit that might help others in my group, but where do I go?  Over and out.  Be well, Bob

Got the same problem and just found at the bottom of the page is an
unsubscribe link to stop receiving these emails. Hope this works as like
you fed up with things of no interest to me.

[YojanaFitbit]

@lynnedavies1156 I will, thank you! Very kind of you. 😁 What is best that stay active by doing housework, you never finish since there is too much to do. If you're logging your food daily you will see great results shortly. Keep the good work and stay happy and healthy. 💚

@MrUgly Welcome to the Community Forums MrUgly! 🤔 I think that I've seen you online, mmm yep here. Congratulations for your successful brand, it's very famous. You can become a developer to build apps and clock faces, check the information here: Fitbit Developer. Good luck with your clock faces designs.

@BWGrace I'll be glad to help you with this. You can unsubscribe from this thread by going to the upper right corner where you can see the menu, it looks like a wheel icon. If you want to close your Fitbit Community account, I can help you with that. Please send me a PM with the email address associated with this account. I'll be happy to help.

@OldVic Thank you for your help! I hope you can find other conversations that you might like here Get Moving.

Hi everyone! Welcome, @SunsetRunner! Nice to hear that you´re back and I hope you recover soon. One step at the time. 

Nice picture @LokeAa! It looks very relaxing there.

@lynnedavies1156, when I figure that out how it works, I'll be glad to share it with you. 

Keep on visiting the forums.

This is really good news to hear. I got a Versa 3. Had a bit of trouble until I got their upgrade. All is well. I am a “Walker.”

Have experienced 3 Traumatic Brain injuries (8/23/1962; 1984; 2005: both life threatening) I am 66 years old. My daughter got me this Versa 3 for Christmas, , 2020.
I lost 13 lbs. in 4 months (from 162 to 150 lbs. But, because I am 66 years old, walking in the heat (anywhere from 90’ or higher takes its toll on my body: dehydration twice) hard lessons to learn. But I walk
The evenings mostly; when we get nice weathers here in our Nation’s Capital, it’s morning and evening…

I am in Bryant Arkansas, trying to lose weight and work my way up to moving more. I am recovering from surgeries, so it is slow. All I am clear to do right now is walk. Other friends (y’all) who are in this as well. My favorite guilty pleasure, unfortunately chocolate :-).

looking forward to getting to know the fitbit community.

Do you all get different color bands?

Nice to meet each of you

[AndreaFitbit]

Thanks for getting back to us @ThomasbB. I'm really happy to hear that all is well with your Versa 3 and that you're very active. Walking on the evenings is very relaxing and helps you sleep better.

Welcome, @Limelifechic! I hope you recover from your surgeries soon and that you get and feel better. You can start walking and then adding a little more exercises to your routine. I love chocolate too! I got a bunch this weekend on my nephew's birthday party. ❤️

I used to use different color bands with my Flex but now I just wear the black band that came with my tracker. 

Nice to meet you too! Keep on visiting our community.

[lynnedavies1156]

HI, I Use a Fitbit Charge 4 and love using it, I track everything! I use
different colour bands depending on how I feel, I love being colour co
ordinated, I am, every day, trying to do 10, 000 steps a day,and usually do
over 12, 000, I have only lost a couple of pounds up to now, but the rest
will come off in time, we heard some very sad news yesterday, one of our
good friends died tragically of a heart attack, only 56 years old so we are
of course devestated!!!Enjoy the football !!

Hi All

Thank you all much appreciate it. Sadly my back is how it is now, but I carry on doing the best I can just like all you guys do, I keep popping the pills lol.

Here in Wales there's some gorgeous views and lovely walks so I'm grateful that I can enjoy life each day as it comes.

[AndreaFitbit]

Thanks for getting back to us @lynnedavies1156 and @SunsetRunner.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend @lynnedavies1156.

@SunsetRunner, pills are amazing for back pain. I hope you recover soon. It's nice that you have lovely walks with gorgeous views. I think it helps you relaxing and a little bit with the pain.

See you around.

[Auldjohn]

I'm a Senior enjoying my seventh decade celebrating 51 years with Type 1 Diabetes with no major complications. As a retired from high tech I've long used technology to self-manage Diabetes and other challenges life brings to each of us.

My specialty was finding, evaluating, and applying emerging technologies to practical business, social, creative, and personal applications, then easy adoption by leveraging the paradigm shift.

I invested in Fitbit after using a variety of best in class smartwatch clones as well as earlier PDAs and software applications.

My immediate goal is to utilize my Fitbit Sense to increase mobility, vitality, weight, and sleep as we return to a more normal life after 18 months of Shelter Safe at Home during the Covid-19 quarantine.

I'm also recovering from elbow reconstruction and returning to physical therapy for spinal stenosis.

With fractured L5 and L1 vertabrae as well as lumbar disc deterioration from osteopenia. However, while I may move more slowly, as with long-term T1 Diabetes, neither chronic condition controls or defines me. My attitude, adopted from my father who passed away in his sleep a few weeks before his 98th birthday, is "I'm in great shape--for the shape I'm in!". 😉

My Fitbit Sense apps complement my physical therapy routines, plus step and floor counting, mood logging and techniques to respond by reducing stress, guided and open meditation -- and so much more. Even better is the Fitbit Community where I'm building supportive friends with similar goals or interests.

All of this becomes a synergy.

Your feedback and constructive suggestions are greatly appreciated in advance!
