Where in the world are you? I'm in the United States, i'm new to FitBit as of mid January 2020, this is my second account.
What is your current health/fitness goal? My current focus is reducing my weight by trying to monitor all food intake, calculate, and log calories with an eye out to add additional nutritional focal points, i attend class on a regular basis which might be considered similar to AA group therapy, in the process, which is all new to me, i'm learning a lot, and achieving what I consider some success. In the process, I have wound up watching my exercise in my daily chores, and some deliberate activities both cardio and strength. I also wound up paying attention to my sleep log as sleep has become difficult, cause of the nature of my job.
How do you like to stay fit? I like to camp, fish, jog, and kayak (whitewater) rivers as much as possible, but find any time on the water is a plus whether its a river, or the pool.
What motivates you? I'm a volunteer, in the battlefield, i teach, and coach, and my greatest incentive, and motivation is other peoples enthusiasm, and smiles at their own success, and achievements.
Favorite guilty pleasure? I don't know what to say, since i shouldn't have to feel guilty about pleasure,.
i do have questions about how fitbit monitors, and calculates? I have found it monitors my sleep fairly well, it seems to calculate my steps, and mileage more accurately than GoogleFit, and when i get back home from where i'm posted, i hope to continue using it.

What an interesting post, @SparksK ! So nice to see your enthusiasm! I think this post would be perfect in the Community -> Health & Wellness —> Be Inspired forum so I’m going to move your post there. You are more likely to get a good conversation going there. You may also want to check out the other Health & Wellness threads.
BTW, I’m from beautiful Michigan. And my goal is to keep my joints moving since that seems to help my arthritis better than anything else. I enjoy walking.

That would be nice, @SparksK . In the mean time, friend some of the folks here. We can all participate in challenges together. My husband and I have Fitbit friends from all over the world. Fitbit adjusts for time differences. If you get your beautiful girls Fitbit Ace’s, you can create a family account and challenge each other. My 10 year old grandson keeps me on my toes for sure!
