So I am new to it as of yesterday. Still stuff to figure out and yes it isnt 100% accurate but what really is?
The one thing I do like though is the sleep tracker. It shows me as a mess last night and I dont feel that great today thus it is right.. Didnt sleep well.. more to report later..

    I'm new as well. I love the sleep tracker as well. It shows me that I really do sleep well most of the time. I'm inclined to one nihgt allow my ex to use it for that. I think he needs to be seen for sleep issues. Then just delete that night.

    Hi, I'm got my Fitbit Flex Sunday, and so far very impressed with it. I've been swimming twice with it on and had no issues with I know it doesn't log my swimming activity but I just enter it manually on MFP. Not sure on the sleep tracker as I know it takes me a hour to get to sleep, but because I laid still it assumes I'm asleep...

    Would love some friends to add and hopefully give each other some motivation..

    Please add me on both sites xx

    Love the flex and now that they've just updated the dashboard I love it even more. I report my eating on MFP and use the Flex for tracking the activity. I'm a huge walker so it works for me --- when I bike there is a place to enter that activity manually over at the Flex log page. I track my water on Flex, too. I don't track my sleep just b/c I keep forgetting! LOL. But that is pretty awesome and studies have def showed a connection between proper sleep and weight loss. Feel free to add me as friend on either!

    I am loving mine, but having a hard time getting it into sleep mode. When I tap it, it just gives me the lights that show how much of my goal I have accomplished. Any suggestions?

    Take it out of your wristband and tap it to get into sleep mode. I've noticed my fitbit misses ALOT of steps (* k run on my Garmin this morning= about 11000 steps) Fit bit only registered 9000 steps. Anyone else have this problem?

    I got my Fitbit Flex today. It said I had walked 37 steps when I logged into the dashboard. I then walked for 20 minutes and it still says I walked 37 steps. What is wrong? How do I fix it?

    Also, how do I get it to show me my daily walking goal, not weekly?

    And how do I add a picture?

    Thanks.

    I ordered my Fitbit Flex from Amazon today. It's supposed to get here sometime next week.

    I'm pumped - particularly now that I've learned a Flex group exists and that most of you seem really happy with the product!
