Fitbit helping to motivate me

I resisted getting a Fitbit but did not refuse when I was gifted one for Christmas. In the week since I started using it I am amazed at how much I want to get in my steps. When I stand I walk back and forth and silly things like that - the steps add up and I get to see the app " go green"

    Awesome! Great job! I finally discovered this from a relative this past Christmas and it took a lot for me to spend $150 but it was worth it.

    I received a free Fitbit through a program at work. I have been so shocked at how motivating it has been! I have increased my steps significantly in the past few months because of it and losing weight. Never would have thought it.

    Keep up the good work!!

    Which setting did you pick for your dominant hand? Maybe try wearing it on your nondominant with the dominant setting turned on so that it isn't as sensitive to the movement.

    It's on my non-dominant hand, i shall try setting it on dominant to see if that makes any difference.

    That's great! I have a step and activity tracker on my phone, and it does help motivate me to get in more steps, when I remember to carry it. Over the holidays I got really lazy and gluttonous, though. I started working out again New Year's Eve, so at least I have that, if I don't meet my step goal.
