I am new to the FitBit...but I am already a bonafide, certified, addict. I admit it...I confess to it....and I'm loving every minute of it! Now I have to convince my friends that they NEED the "life changing" FitBit...so far they are NOT convinced....but I'm "game on" and loving it! Had a few low days this week, but had some good ones too....feeling empowered!

You secretly fear that the Fitbit (Flex) will sprout blades and impale your wrist if you don't meet your goals for the day

You know you're a Fitbit addict when you weekly try to stay above 200,000 steps because any less just isn't good enough anymore.
When you get up from your desk at work and go to the stairs, go up and down them and run in place at the landings.
When you take the long way to the breakroom at work to get water.
When you have to have the new fitbit as soon as it comes out! (Can't wait for the next one). I sell my old ones to co-workers!
I believe I was the first person at work to get a fitbit in March 2012. Since then, I know of at least 20 people and many of those take the stairs like me.
Keep stepping!

... you run over your Flex with the car and have a brand new one in hand within the hour.
I was helping my son load boxes into the back of my SUV today and the band must have gotten snagged on something and fallen off. I then backed over it with my gigantic car.
Funnily enough it looked just fine. One little scratch on the side of the actual Flex and the wristband was completely unscathed. It flashed all its pretty lights when I put it in the charger but nothing happened if I tapped it and it wouldn't sync.
Just about to connect my replacement. All is well with the world.

Being sedentary while writing an essay, so you go for a further walk and pace while blow drying your hair

You realize you left your Fitbit home and take a taxi home so there aren't any steps that aren't counted.

I just started using a Flex on August 11th. I was a pretty sedentary person. This last 7 days I averaged over 19k per day. I even earned my 25,000 step badge. Best part yet, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I have lost my first 10 pounds.
I am totally addicted to fitbit and sure hope I never get cured. I still have a lot to lose. We're talking 100 pounds. I know myself well and I know that once the weather turns bad, I won't be going out in the rain and dark to walk so I purchased a treadmill. It is so convenient. No excuses.
I never have to worry about leaving home without my fitbit because it's always on my wrist if it's not on the charger.
Wish me luck.

When your watching the battery level like a hawk, so you can judge when to set it asleep & recharge, so you don`t have a day without it!

You know you're a fitbit addict when hitting your daily goal is SO important to you that you lose all of your dignity and become morally corupt. Like the time that I...
... intentionally took the bumpy road detour to rack up extra "ghost" steps.
... took my dog to the park and put my fitbit one on her collar to play fetch for 20 minutes (while I drank beer).
... refused to take my elderly father to his doctor's appointment because it would interfere with my fitbit time.
... divorced my wife because she said I loved my fitbit more than her (is that so bad?).
** Just kidding, but I do love "Fitty".

If you get one of those Magic Massage beds, you can get even more ghost steps.

Only 12 steps in the program for addicts? I gotta find one with more! Ha, Ha! I put my fitbit on Nov. 30 2013 late afternoon when it came in the mail, that was the only day I didn't make 10,000 steps. I think I had 9,700 or so. Here I am 9 months later still going!

I pace at night too! Thought I was the only one doing that! My grandson (10 yrs old) checks my progress and when eveing is coming on and I am still a bit shy of the 10,000 mark, he'll tell me to go call someone, because I pace when I talk on the phone.

Before I had the fitbit I would put my morning porridge in the microwave and just wait for it to cook - now I jog for the time it is in there "just to get the steps up".
I am in UK and don't know many people who have them so spreading the word.

You know you're a Fitbit addict when you volunteer to pick up the trash lining your neighborhood streets -- not just to clean up the environment, but to get in those extra steps (and burn more calories)!

I just lost my first FitBit Zip while walking a 5.7 mile rugged trail in Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, AL yesterday. So, I guess you could say I'm addicted because I went out today and bought another one. Very easy to set up the new device, sync it, and get back in the saddle, again.
