  • Someone posted a news article elsewhere in this forum that Fitbit is being sued by users for making false claims about their 'dangerously inaccurate' Fitbit Charge HR product and Fitbit Surge. I got a Fitbit for Christmas, and after seeing how off the charts inaccurate it was, I returned it, and made sure my partner who…

  • Well put, mommanurse. Judging, belittling, and making fun of people in pain, who may or may not have poor emotional intelligence and understanding of poor lifestyle habits, never helped anyone.

  • I'm asking because it seems like she requires a lot of additional equipment and I don't want to be bothered with that. But I also don't want to deal with Tony Horton anymore, either. LOL

  • After a really long time of researching, my partner generously got me a Fitbit Charge HR. I was very disappointed. First morning I wore it, I played with the dogs on the bed. Then I logged about 200 'steps'. Walked around the house casually for a bit and suddenly I'm up to 1200 (I'm talking about doing the dishes and a…

Fri, Jan 1:15 384 - it's holidays here, so few reasons to leave the…

  • I also don't really understand the point of this thread. And I don't think it's helpful to tell dissenting voices 'way to completely miss my point'. That is defeatist and counterproductive.

  • Hey guys! I work at a gender and sexuality unit at a university. Since around 2012, I picked up about 20 pounds that I really want to get rid of. I'm only really now developing eating habits, fitness routines, and other strategies to get the weight off. My BMI is about 27.5, and that just makes me feel... sad! I was at a…
