Hello there everyone! I'm Jillian. I'm 21, female, and from the Midwest. I'm entirely new to Fitbit, just got my Charge HR yesterday! I owned a Jawbone Up2 and was heartbroken when the band broke, but I'm soo impressed with this little thing! My Jawbone Up2 was my first fitness tracker and I invested in a fitness tracker in the first place because I have a book's worth of mental health issues and I thought it would be beneficial if I could show my psychiatrist how my sleep patterns look. The other reason for getting s fitness tracker is because I love to run long distance, yoga, casual swimming, and casual bike riding. At 13 years old I could run "the mile" and finish with a 7:35. I hope to someday reach that point again! I also use Nike+ Running. I have a blog that's currently just wasting away but I'd like to utilize it for fitness posting and such, someday. Guy in my profile picture is my boyfriend of 10 months, I'm trying to convert him to running! The only things stopping me from getting on track to becoming fit is the weather, waiting on that snow to melt, and for so long I didn't know I had asthma until I was diagnosed and found an inhaler that works, it's a blessing. Oh and my feet move inward when I walk or run or whatever, so that's always interesting.
Well, that's it! I'm sorry for writing a book, but I thought a proper introduction was called for. Ask me anything you want, I'm blunt and honest!

Happy Steeping!

Hello, I am new on here having just purchased a Fitbit Charge HR. My main reason was to constantly track my heart rate as I have heart and circulatory problems and need to do this. I can already see how this is going to help me, just with this function, am also trying to increase my steps, amazing how many you do in a day even without actually going for a walk. My goal is 2500 a day hoping to increase as I progress, yes, I know it's not many, but a marathon to me lol! If anyone would like to friend me who maybe is in a similar situation that would be great, thanks.

@Cav1965 @PitbullsNKittyz @Friendless @Jillian51894 Welcome everyone to our Fitbit Community! I'm so glad to see some new faces here! @WendyB and I have directed you all here because in the first post, I've posted instructions on how to add friends. Others in this thread are also interested in adding friends, so feel free to reach out to each other! 

@Roshelow hello and welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's so great to hear that your tracker has already made a difference in your life. I'm sure you'll be past 2500 in no time! As @WendyB mentioned, this thread is a great place to let people know you're looking for friends or other people to talk to about your experience. I've also added your post to it, so that other people can see that you're looking for friends! Happy stepping (:

I hope this helps your friend list grow! Let me know if you have any other questions at all!
