Does anyone who works in an office or sits at a desk most of the day want to do a fitbit challenge?

Let me know if you do :)

Not sure about you but I don't walk around much and need people in similar situations to compete with! It is hard competing with my friends who walk around all day for their jobs!

    Hello, I'll join you in that challenge. I work in a large office building and i try to get up hourly, the reminder on the Fitbit is great. How many steps do you walk at work or total for the day.

    i'm in. I sit in an office from 9.30am until 4.30pm. I use the reminder too and would get up to refill my water bottle etc.

    Count me in. I sit for most of my 8-4:30 day. I get about 8k steps having a 3 year old but wanting to get up to 10k. All my firbit friends are now "inactive" so I don't have anyone to participate in the challenges with me.

    I sit too. Way too long everyday. Been driving me nuts lately. Should we do something were we try to get so many steps when we get up or just get up move a bit and fill the water bottles? Not sure if any of you are limited on the time you can be away from your workstations. I'm game for anything! :)

    Fab.. I am just using the fit bit one as I haven't felt motivated enough to get into the other features to be honest. I am upping my fitness etc with DVDs and classes but only do about 3000 steps on average a day LOL. So bad..... I work and live right by the train station and I work in the City so lunch breaks are frowned on basically for longer than popping out to get food then go back. I need to start getting up more etc and just find some motivation... absolute nightmare.

    Message me on this with your fit bit details, then I can add everyone to a fit bit challenge.

    Most people do who can do the most steps - I will easily lose, but I am hoping it makes me fit bit obsessed lol.

    Message me your details for fit bit so I can add u x

    Sitting at a desk 7-4ish really stinks. Most of my Fitbit friends walk circles around me. I'd love to compete with other office workers. Feel free to add me. https://www.fitbit.com/user/279979

    I'd like to join. I work in an office 8-5 and then do homework at night for my masters degree program. This challenge can help motivate me to find time to get up and walk.

    Hello! Will you be doing another challenge this week? If so i'd love to join. Sitting at a desk really sucks but I have found that these challenges motivate me to get up and move more. rocioenriquezlmt@gmail.com

    Is anyone still active in here? I found my fitbit over the weekend and I'm a 40-hour week office person needing motivation to get up and move other than the coffee pot! lol
