You know you're a Fitbit addict when...

[V1CK1]

• You pace the house to get to a particular figure before going to bed
• You sit down when recharging as you don't want to 'waste' any steps
• You park further away from the shops to gain extra steps

Exactly I do Agree 🙂

Ypir working in Target 3 hours into your shift, 13 hours before you can get to your charger, amd your Fitbit is dead.  

The only natural thing to do is buy a charger.

[Donna_K]

Now leave the spare charger in your locker for future use. You KNOW you will need it again!!

[SantiR]

You know you are a Fitbit addict when you keep your charging cable in your backpack in case you'll need it anytime! I keep mine in my backpack and have used it at work and university too.

I have 2 charging cables - one at home, and one in the car - so that no matter where I am, I can charge the tracker! 

[SantiR]

That's even better! @USAF-Larry Having two charging cables to not miss anything. You are truly a Fitbit addict.  I like it, I will get another charging cable to leave one at home.

@Matclar - I don't think I have a chip on my shoulder! I don't think a stranger needs to get all unglued because I walk funny - so what? I am able to walk!

[PortgasDAlex]

You're also an addict when you use the app to keep  doing bursts of steps (15-30 minutes) throughout the day in the hopes of eating more   later in the day.

I love my Alta for the reminders to get off my backside and get my steps
done for the hour.

....your One won't sync, so you remove it from your pocket and walk away from the computer desk to minimize interference from your phone while you try again. It works this time but your on your way out the door for work and decided to pack your lunch while your fitbit synced up. Then once your lunch is ready, you leave for work with the fitbit sitting on the desk... as soon as you get to work a depression sets in like something you need has been taken away from you. lol that was the day I realized I had a "fit"bit of a problem! lol.

[FisiaH]

It's ok, you're like a low maintenance addict lol.

@Marydu Here is an answer to counting steps and pushing a shopping cart.  I take off my Fitbit and attach it at my waist or put it in a pocket.  No way do I want to lose steps!  And to those who think it counts inaccurately, my response is this-it counts better than you can, and if it does count excessive arm movements, shouldn't that count as exercise too??  I think so.  It's far more accurate than a phone app that can't possibly monitor sleep and/or activity when it's plugged into a charger for the night, right?

Love my Fitbit!!! Don't you?

[Marydu]

Thanks, I'll try that. I was wondering if it would work if I got a large band for my Alta - I wear a small - and wore it around my ankle - just for going on deliberate walks. I'm still distressed because of the walk, where I walker further than ever (in my mind it had to be about a million miles) and Fitbit gave me 500 steps. I can get 500 steps by making up of batch of brownie mix by hand, not using a mixer!!


I cleaned house like a crazy person yesterday - Fitbit says I burned 147 (something like that) calories - also not fair, my back, hips and neck were screaming in pain - so, to get "even" ate an ice cream bar and didn't enter it!! Childish, I know.


Now the orthopedic surgeon says I need a 5th back surgery, a 2nd neck surgery and my right knee replaced. We agreed that for now (a long "now") we are ignoring those pieces and parts. Nope, not this old woman. It will have to get really, really bad before I jump (ha) up and volunteer for more surgery!!

[SantiR]

Haven't been able to wear my Surge for the past 2 days. It was horrible. I really missed the Fitbit, I was so used to it, and I truly suffered without it. Now, I can wear it again and I'm so happy.  I'll have to log all my activities manually though, that's the only way to get that data on for the past two days! I'm a Fitbit addict! 

[SolangeE]

Hey, @SantiR! That's the worst. I forgot my Alta at my granmother's house and was dying to get it back! Why weren't you able to wear your Surge? 😞

[SantiR]

Left it charging at my friends house @SolangeE 

[JamieS_Wisco]

Ok so, last sunday, I got all my steps in and my Fitbit Flex DIED!  Ok, this was like 10 am so not a huge deal.. but I really didn't want to go anywhere because I wasn't tracking... I may be an addict!

[USAF-Larry]

You might be a FitBit Addict if....You've worn out your third pair of shoes this week....

[JamieS_Wisco]

OH my @USAF-Larry now that is a heck of an addiction

[SolangeE]

Hey, @SantiR! It sucks rights? 😞 

haha, @JamieS_Wisco, It's nice to see you around and yes I understand the feeling when you don't even want to move without your Fitbit is like if you were naked without it! I have to match my clothes to my Alta because I'm definitely not going out and dancing without my Fitbit on me. 

Hey, @USAF-Larry! Wow! You are inspiring! What exercise are you doing to get your shoes worn out so fast? Running? Hiking?
