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

When I freak out because I left my Fitbit in the charger for the past 5 hours and missed all those steps!

[MoxieM]

A "12 Step Program"!!!!!!  LOL!  No pun intended, right?  Cute!

[LewWagner]

I'm thiniking of upgrading to the Fitbit One so I can do individual start and stop metric information recording of walking or recumbent bike exercising.  I've heard the new Charge is having issues, so I'll stay away from the Surge HR and Charge HR when they come out until they're well past the new version blues phase.

I'll probably get my wife a Charge HR when it's not so buggy. 

Our Fitbit Zips have been useful, but we'r looking for more...Guess that makes us even more addicted, right?

[lezzbo]

I feel better now...

Thought I was the only one (do you realize how many house laps 700 steps is???)

You forget your engagement ring, but NEVER your FitBit!

Yesterday I realized I was a Fitbit addict.

Someone spilled a soda on my chest and the first thing I thought was "My Fitbit One can't get wet"

I admit it .............. I'm addicted to my FitBit Flex.  Yesterday, while it was charging, I went out for a "bit" and kept checking my wrist for it ......  felt annoyed that it was at home while I was out doing my steps.  Felt even more annoyed that I couldn't record those steps.  I'm so addicted, I went out and bought some more wristbands so I could vary my colours (even if don't always match what I'm wearing; just love that flash of colour).  I'm showing my Flex off to everyone and telling them to get FITBIT too --- love to see the flashing lights and feel the vibration when I've accomplished my steps/goals.  Great thing to be addicted to --- no weight gain (I hope); no health risks etc --- it's all good.

I went shopping the other day and thought to myself, 'this us a good chance to stretch my back and muscles and can't wait to see how far I walked at the end of it, only to find that half way through I realised I forgot my Fitbit at home. I cannot believe how gutted I felt, also felt bad cos I knew it would look bad on my stats at the end of the day

[joefat2fit]

Just focus on getting the next day in and not getting derailed.   My daily goal is 14250 which translates to 100k per week.  I tried for a  30 day streak and blew it at 9 days straight.  Redoubling efforts now. to not lose momentum.   I would be thrilled to have only one slight miss in 30 days for the minimium!  Keep up the good work!

The moment you realize you've lost your charging cable and you can't buy a new one in a retail store or find anyone who uses the charging cable to borrow from so you can't sleep peacefully knowing your Fitbit will die before it can be recharged and you will have to forfit challenges and miss valueable steps being counted while you wait for your charging cable to come in the mail that you ordered online at 5am because you still couldn't sleep and you order 2 charging cables and an extra dongle to ensure this NEVER happens again. 

So yeah in the few short weeks I've had my Fitbit Charge I have become obsessed with my progress and tracking. So anyone in Cobb Co GA with a Fitbit wanna let me borrow their charging cable for a few hours I'd appreciate it.... LOL

I have lost 2 FITBIT flex and the second time I was out of recording my activity for about 3 weeks waiting for my free replacement, FITBIT kindly sent one to me here in Greece. I still tracked walks with Map My Walk but I missed out on challenges and keeping up my database stats. It certainly is addictive, no doubt about that!

You know you're addicted to ftibit when ... you've never lost one.

Lot's of people would lose their heads if they weren't screwed on.  "Fitty", my fitbit one,  and I are joined at the hip, so to say.

[Ditec]

Since the only steps I have are at work, I go to bathroom upstairs at work to get my stes in.

[Morgan_anne]

I just got my fitbit and I already know I am an addict! I LOVE it!!

[SunsetRunner]

U know you're an addict when you negotiate wearing your fitbit during whoopie time

😉

[SunsetRunner]

Oh another
U know your an addict when your ringtone is the song from the new fitbit commercial..

[HelenaFitbit]

@SunsetRunner It's a super catchy song, no addictions there 

[SunsetRunner]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

That's the best part.. yea I'm a dork

On vacation I dropped mine and it fell between the house foundation and the cement stairs.  People laughed at me when I set up my laptop to try and get one final sync before I had my wife drive out to the store to buy a replacement. Totally screwed up that days vacation plans but I wasn't moving until I had a fitbit. They said I was like a crack addict while I was separated from my fitbit.

Also - you know you are an addict when as a married person you find you wear a fitbit more often than a wedding band.

[Shinyshoes]

...you stop your lifetime habit of going up and down steps two at a time because it means less steps/flights of stairs....

...you obsess about a day you missed 6 months later, because guestimating and manually recording the steps is not. the. same.
