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

Yep! I too minimize my movement without my FitBit! I'm not yet walking as much as you all inspire me to. Thanks .
Women lead by encouraging. This group is ENCOURAGINGING!
Note the "courage" as the root. We root for one another.

Courage is right, @DarleneJA  When people look at you funny when you're stepping in place in the check out line so you get in those extra steps or when you're walking in the rain to your car because you parked it way far away from the store.

I am considering buying a second Fitbit just in case....addicted. I think so!!

[lukeswinney]

I've had my FitBit for 24 hours and I can already tell I'm going to be addicted! I used to have a Nike Fuel Band but it broke after three months. My flex seems much stronger and less likely to break. I just hope it's accurate! But it definitely helps with motivation.

Yes I have a back-up. Also sometime you don't want it on my wrist. Have a clip also

You leave for work and your drive to work is over 40 minutes long through heavy traffic and half way through you realize you don't have your Fitbit and you seriously think about going back to get it.  

I'm a mail carrier and I use to deliver a parcel to a house via the shortest distance I could and now I take the longest way to the house..

Also, I want to say I'm a Fitbit addict to learning everything I can about the Dashboard and the Logging of info-sleep, food, activities, etc.  I absolutely love the Dashboard and how the tiles have information about calories in vs. calories out and if you click on it--you can learn more info. about how fitbit calculates your food intake.  I LOVE IT!!!  

I am over 180 pounds and this is the heaviest I have ever been in my life.  I am having the hardest time losing any weight for over 8 months.  Just a few pounds.  But now with Fitbit and MyFitnessPal I am on my way to a new-old me.  I think it is finally working because I check daily and I know where I stand on my food and steps... I just absoultly love my Fitbit!!!...

Thinking about turning around in traffic is serious - I always keep if on my wrist (24/7) except for charging, and then I only charge it when I will be sitting for an extended period of time! r/ Doc

Love that you are enjoying your Fitbit - I tried diets, etc. and Fitbit was what I needed in my life - couldn't budge my weight - but now I can

Hello, this is CieCie

Update to my Orginal You Know You're a Fitbit Addict when...

This morning, I forgot to weigh myself, stripped down and remembered something on the other side of the room.... DangIt!!!! no Fitbit, lost steps...Can't get them back!!! Upset 50 STEPS...Have a Great Holiday

[juliehop]

I have 2 littles and I chase them around the house or step/jog in place as long as they will let me!

[binibecca]

Addicted when you walk past the shop in your own village to the shop in the next village for milk (3.5 mile round trip). 

Please tell me this is normal? Please! 

[pokie]

I purposely walk up and down hills/steps etc!!haha addicted to my Flex!!

[IU]

how about this one?  I HAVE to take the elevator up and down 6 flights at work (no stairs) so i walk in the elevator..lol  round and around i go...dont care if people are in there with me either.  also walk up and down the only escalator they have instead of taking elevator.  its only one floor but its better than riding it!  i still get more steps that way...

[Odyssey13]

@binibecca  You are perfectly normal. It's the rest of the world who are not normal! You keep on walking and make the step count higher.

[pokie]

I walk on the escalators instead of just standing still!!

[mediatorsteve]

Just be careful on escalator because by walking up escalator, it artificially inflates your flights of stair count.
