Hi my name is Lesley, today is day one on mfp and linked my Fitbit, I am aiming for 10,000 daily steps and would love to have a couple of friends to compete against to achieve this goal, I don't really know how to add friends on it (I hope you don't need Facebook as I haven't got it). Am looking forward to losing weight and being a bit more active, I have 6 stone to lose an going to be 40yr old this year

    Hi Lesley. I'm Jaclyn. Welcome! :) I have a Fitbit account and you are more than welcome to add me. I've injured my back recently, so I'm not currently getting anywhere near 10k steps but once I'm all healed up again, I will be. To add me, just copy and paste my fitbit page link into your search bar. Then select "add friend". My fitbit link is : https://fitbit.com/user/2R5L5B

    Bump until I find out how to do this. My Fitbit has taught me I'm an overeating sloth.

    Not had it on for a while as been off plan (diet) but as soon as my heads in gear and focussed I absolutely love it. It can get quite addictive to move more and increase steps. I think it's worth the money And definitely a good investment. So your research first thought to make sure it's what you want X

    Hi all! I am an active 62 looking towards retirement. My children gave my wife and I a "Garmin" version of a fit bit. I would like to join you ladies but not being of the tech age I must ask if if it's possible to link to you?

    Hello...I have been using fitbit and fittnesspal for few years now. it's a great way to keep me honest with myself ..good and bad days...also a great way to keep track of my food intake along with my activity level. John to answer question ..garmin will not link directly to fitbit..but both link to fittnesspal..all are welcome to become friends and great support by going to "community"..."find friends" or going to "find members".

    I got a Fitbit Flex recently and have it synced with MFP. I like it so far and even use the Flex as a silent alarm clock and sleep tracker. Most of my Fitbit friends are from mfp threads like this! Here's my link: https://fitbit.com/user/355VKK
    I'll add friends on either site.

    I'm sorry to be a pain but still don't know how to add people. When I type in persons user it brings up that persons basic info dashboard. How do you add someone at that stage?

    There should be a button under their name that says "add friend"

    Mind if I get on board too? I'm loving my Fitbit.... Though had a couple of scares where it's fallen off!!!!! I'm doing really quite well with the steps do far and have hit my goal most days though no weight loss so back to recording everything I eat too. Had been using it for runs (though they're more like a struggle than a run) but haven't been out in a couple of weeks due to snow!!!

    Anyone who would like can add me as well! On days I hike I do pretty well on steps, on days I cycle and rest days not so much.

    I'm being really dumb here.... I only seem to be able to add friends by email or my contacts... I was able to find my user though if anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate it. Ta

    I don't use my Fitbit to track my daily step total. Instead, I use it to track Very Active Minutes. I shoot for 5 sessions a week of 45 to 50 Very Active Minutes done within 60 to 75 contiguous minutes. I also try to get at least 4200 steps within that period.

    Here's my Fitbit link

    I think there is a problem with a bug on the MFP site for adding friends. For the Fitbit people have to unlock their privacy settings. Thank you and greetings to my new friends.

    Im afraid I am not up to 10000 steps just yet but you can add me. For those that haven't figured it out: log into fitbit site, open new tab to this discussion, copy and paste the user web address into another tab (you should be logged in because you logged in to it earlier), click add friend by the photo spot. Happy adding everyone. BTW it took me a while to figure it out - not tech savvy at all here. :D I now feel computer empowered!!

    There's a Fitbit Users group on mfp, too. I joined it and found some friends there and learned some ideas on how to sync mfp and Fitbit. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Hello to all my new Fitbit friends from this thread!
