Any fitbit users up for daily, weekend or week challenges? I find it helps me to get up and move more.

    I'd love Fitbit friends. My IRL friends have been doing Fitbit so long they aren't into challenges anymore, but I want to do some. Please send me a message and we can exchange email addresses.

    I've tried to send you ladies a message and then I sent a friend request with a message. Hopefully it works one way or another. Let me know :smiley:

    Arlene, I saw it pop up as an alert, but it disappeared from my mobile app...? I will log on to PC this afternoon to see if I can locate it.

    Jenn, send me a private message with your email address, and I'll add you as a friend. Arlene, Tata, and I do challenges together. KRCE has joined in a few times, too.

    Yay for your Fitbit!!

    I really want to buy a fit bit, but there are so many I don't know where to start. Any advice?

    I have the fitbit flex, its basic, but tracks steps, distance, calories burned, active minutes and sleep, and lights up to show your goal progress. The app on my phone is great for checking in and seeing my progress for the day especially when in a challenge with friends :smiley: I also like changing my wrist bands to match whatever i'm wearing. I think Jess and Tara have the next ones up from the flex.

    I can't afford a fitbit right now, so I have ordered a Xiaomi MiBand. Hopefully it will do the job.

    OhMsDiva, send Arlene or me your email address, and we'll add you as friends and to our challenges. We, BigChangeNeeded, and Tata do challenges almost weekly. :)

    I have the Fitbit Alta. It's basically a newer version of the Flex but with a screen to show steps, calories burned, active minutes and phone notifications. The only complaint I've heard is that it doesn't have an altimeter, but I didn't really care about measuring floors climbed since I live in super flat Texas in a one-story home. :) I do like that the Alta auto-detects exercise longer than 10 minutes and auto-detects when you fall asleep. However, it doesn't count steps very accurately when pushing a stroller or shopping cart. The version that clips to your bra or pocket measures those steps better, according to a walking buddy.

    Rob, send me a message, and I'll add you to our Fitbit challenges. I see that you walk a lot, so you're gonna give us a run (walk?) for our money. :)

    I have a FitBit Flex now as the MiBand was so inaccurate it was useless. My email is clarissa_cld@hotmail.com if anyone wants to add me.
