Definitely could use the challenge to achieve my daily goals.

Hello all, just got my HR yesterday. I'm excited to get moving. I'm love my couch but it's time to break up with it and get active.

Looking for a few like minded friends.
I average around 10k steps a day [with quite a bit of effort!] and use my FB HR both for increased fitness and weight loss too.

Random thought of the day.

I am thinking of marketing the SCARY MOVIE DIET PLAN as last time I watched a really spooky film I got so scared that my heart rate rocketed up to 122 beats per minute and stayed there so I burned far more calories than usual
....mind you I was probably putting some calories back on with the popcorn I was munching in the back row!

just posting to get tagged into the group. bought my charge HR yesterday and am now testing it. not sure if i'm keeping it. not sure if i even understand it!! and how do you get those user names?? i'm just a regular mfp user for years but don't understand the fitbit user links up above. i guess i should add that i'm not so sharp on the tech stuff.

I have the Fitbit Charge. I've used it to lose 100 lbs this year. However, I'm looking at the Charge HR and wondering what benefit I would derive from the heart rate monitoring. Any opinions out there? (Sorry if this is a FAQ.)

Congrats on losing 100 lbs!

I was given my Charge HR as a gift and asked this question, too. Now, I love the heartrate function. Here's why:

-I can monitor my heartrate and determine if it is high enough for exercise, or low enough for relaxation.
-I can actively work on lowering my resting heartrate over time. When I have a hard workout, my resting heart rate actually drops a few BPM. I can watch my average go down over time.
-I receive immediate feedback to determine if I am exercising too hard, or if I need to pick it up a bit.
-The immediate feedback also tells me if I am stressed out and need to take a breather. I've often checked my HR during lunch at work, decided it was too high, and took 5 deep breaths while watching my HR drop.
-I've learned a lot more about my Fat Burn, Cardio, and Peak heartrate zones and how/when to keep my HR in each zone.

Note that as a user, I have more interest in increasing my fitness level rather than losing weight. I am a runner and a yogi, so the HR monitoring really helps me improve by giving me that instant feedback. So I think the HR monitoring function is more or less helpful depending on what your goals are.
