You've got a FitBit! You've got a Fitbit! We've all got a FitBit!

EagleWife

So who has a new fitbit and wants to join the challenges? I saw some in spams over the weekend, but I don't know if I caught everyone.

Come in, Fitbitters. Let's chat.

EagleWife

WOOOHOOO @casey78 and @squirmworms I agree that black is the responsible choice. Good call.

You will be ready for the next Workweek Hustle challenge! I don't know who that gif guy is, but he's hilarious. How was your first day back to you schedule, Leah's mama?

sparkymcgeee

I'm in! I current Y have over 15k steps today! That's a personal best! I have the same name there I believe, maybe only two e's

EagleWife

I got you, @sparkymcgeee and you are killing it today. Nice going!

That sounds very busy, @casey78. H is sick again. I suspect L is sick and her poor little fingernails look like they are going to fall off. Apparently this is a "normal side effect" of HFM and usually shows up a month after the actual virus. WTF. 

I still feel like I'm on vacation with not having classwork to do anymore. I actually sewed last night Tonight I'm just vegging an trying to tell myself that my queasy stomach is from junk food, not more sick.

sparkymcgeee

Well we will see what's killing tomorrow. I think it will be my entire body. I'm just trying to keep up with Clyde.

EagleWife

The other challenge has @fabk at 25+ @missymr at 18.5+ and the other ladies hot on their tails. I'm tripping @ashie624 so she doesn't pass me.

ashie624

I'm usually really low in the pack. Haha. I was walking in place earlier trying to get my steps up. After last week I need to step it up this week.

LauraB1016

I got a fitbit for Christmas! How can I challenge people!?

You ladies sound like you get a lot of steps! Better step up my game!

ashie624

@LauraB1016‌ Add us! We have challenges every week. Only 10 people per challenge though so at the rate of people joining the fitbit faction we'll probably have to have 3 challenges lol

As @casey78‌ mentioned it finally came out. I have been stalking them daily. I want to join when mine comes.

Also I wanted the blue one but who knows when that will come out.

fabk

Yay for fitbit love!!! I hate that we can't all be in one big challenge.

kaylakim

Now I'm so mad that I got my UP over a year ago! I'm hoping it dies again so I can convince DH to get me a Fitbit instead!

fabk

A tip for all the newbs: if you are pushing a stroller/shopping cart or carrying your toddler, either make sure you are moving your arm with your fitbit on it, put it in your pocket or in your sock. If you don't move that arm, only limited steps will be registered.

equinus

Yes! I just set mine up yesterday, and already it pushed me, at 8 pm it emailed me that I had 2,000 steps to go to meet my daily 10,000 goal, so I paced around the house until I reached my goal.

How do I find people on Fitbit?

atlvol

I just updated my photo to the same one that I have here so I'm easier to find.

I was hoping to get back in the competition today but it doesn't look like I'll be leaving the house due to the weather

LauraB1016

I can't find anyone on the fitbit app. It is only searching through my phone's contacts and I can't seem find people via facebook!

Someone help!

I refuse to be the responsible adult I want purple!

You can add friends by using their e-mail address on the fitbit app, but once you find a friend with friends you know, you can add all of them @LauraB1016 @Lelo2006 @ByJove03

I wish Fitbit would make the newer models water proof. I want to be able to wear it without taking it off to shower or swim!

atlvol

@haddocky I wear mine every day in the shower and I haven't had any issues.  I've even jumped in the lake a few times with it on (taking it right off when I remembered) and I'm still good.

But I want to get in the ocean with it and the pool and not have to worry. I never want to take it off unless I'm going to stand beside it to watch it charge. It's become way too big of a part of my life apparently, lol.

atlvol

@haddocky LOL at standing next to it to watch it charge.

It's like another baby And I'm not trying to have any of my steps go unaccounted, lol.

I charge mine overnight.  I quit tracking my sleep eons ago, it was too depressing.  

stephyfaith

Just ordered mine! Yay!

blairwitch

@casey78‌ it's never fair to have to choose between get it sooner or get what you want would have been great to have now for my time in the airport.

blairwitch

I suddenly feel like we are being watched...
@casey78‌ I just got this email.
And the option to buy the plum was there

estradaa  I haven't had any issues or complaints with mine, I've had it over a year.  (I didn't read the reviews you linked, they opened up in my computer wonky)

I wasn't in any challenge groups until recently.  They are definitely motivating, but not necessary.  

I hope that helps some!  

LauraB1016

I need to get out of this meeting so I can start walking around the office!

rondokye

I don't got a Fitbit.

I have a Nike FuelBand.

sparkymcgeee

The sleep stats are horrible. Just depressing. If you toss and turn regularly then I think the stats are off. I move around a lot because of pain in my hip or just generally being uncomfortable. I don't "wake-up" but it still counts as restless. So I don't know how much stock I put into it. I have to get more than 2.5 hours of sleep. Right??

Lelo2006

I invited @eaglewife and @atlvol‌

I just charge mine when I'm vegging with my laptop or sitting at my desk for a while

[Deleted User]

@EagleWife‌ I always forget until right before it's desperately time to charge.

ashie624

I need to not be in the challenge with @fabk haha...I don't think I'll ever catch up to her.

Even the week I did over 20,000 steps a day, she still beat me!

( I am really not a competitive person, other than with myself. Don'tbe scared of me. I have my "normal" weeks where I struggle to get 10 000 let alone 15 000(my current goal).
I've also been using mine for a year.
