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

You know you are a FITBIT addict when The Fitbit Dashboard is your browser homepage.

Not me. I couldn't wait til the next day. I went to work late. Frantically called stores and got one at Target. I think I counted my steps til I got it back on my wrist!

I totally agree I find myself doing the samething. I also find that I don't mind walking anywhere before my FitBit walking seemed so impossible but now I perfer to walk everywhere I go.

• Pace around the bedroom for 5 minutes before bed to make sure I've hit target while boyfriend watches on, bemused.
• Walk to the shops in a "zig zag" across the pavement (when there aren't people around) to boost the steps it takes to get there.
• Take items from the dishwasher one at the time so that I have to walk back and forth more times.
• Deliberately do food shopping in the most inefficient way possible so I have to walk around more.
• Insist on pacing during meetings at work, making everyone feel uncomfortable and on edge. (oops)
• March on the spot for a minute or so everytime I go to the toilet.
• Insist on pacing whenever I'm waiting for anything because standing still seems like a waste.

I definitely have a problem!

Haha! I thought I was the only one!  Especially the hills in my neighborhood.  While my dog is 'taking care of business' I will walk back and forth on the hill .... every stair counts!

I have told my kids many times, FitBit is making me pace back and forth in front of you, it is not by choice.

I too am constantly patting to make sure FitBit is nice and secure.

I just love it so much!!

[pokie]

I can so relate !!love my fitbit..constantly checking steps..make sure it is secure on my wrist..people must think we are mad!! haha

[Harleen]

All of the above 

Plus

• Play with kids on weekend instead of sit n watch TV
• Take more coffee breaks and Washroom breaks on work just to get few more steps.

Today in order to boost my steps and active minutes while at the park with my dog I threw her the frisbee and then ran as fast as I could to get it before she could. 🙂 

[Stephen1227]

That's wonderful!? Love it!? 🙂

[Clairekemp]

Lol, know what you mean ...I do the same thing ...park as far away as I can ,then find the furthest entrance to go in ...also ,just another half kilometer to go ,run around the yard in the dark

[ToolPackinMama]

OK, Fitbit addict:  I just got my Fitbit and am not addicted yet, but I am already thinking like an addict.  EXAMPLE:  What If I Earn Game Time By Walking?  What if I can't play Skyrim for an hour unless I have first walked for an hour?

[Stephen1227]

When you are next in  the grocery store checkout line and realize you forgot something in the dairy section clear accross the store.  But you smile as you give up your spot in line--happily skipping to the freezer section--hoping to remember yet another item once you return to line....not caring if the checker thinks you've lost it!

Spent majority of yesterday in the car on the way back from a weekend away. Got home at about 7 at a measly 2000 steps, far too exhausted to go for a run but I just couldn't go to bed until I'd hit 10,000. Ended up pacing around while watching TV all evening with 5 minutes here and there or running on the spot. So addicted.

-> You try to stay as motionless as possible while your flex is charging
-> You wake up and the first thing you do (after turning off the sleep tracker of course) is see you have one light and worry aboout hitting 5 lights for the day
