FitBit Check-In

dbclark44 · 03-03-16, 09:38 AM

I started wearing a Fitbit last summer and love how it motivates me. I'm actually a member of a Fitbit group on Facebook and I enjoy Fitbit challenges with some of my Fitbit friends. Would anybody be interested in joining a Fitbit check-in. I know there are similar check-ins for walking and I am currently a member of a check-in where I post and share my daily steps. But it would be nice to have a check-in designed solely for Fitbit users. If there's already one out there, I'm not seeing it so any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I wear a Fitbit. Sure, I'll join. My goal is a mere 10,000 per day, but I love when I do 15,000. I won't compete though, and it is very, very, very hard not to compete when you are wearing a Fitbit. I do check my stats compared to my Fitbit friends, and it is nice to be toward or at the top of the list, but I don't want to take the joy out of my fitness goals by competing.

I have a Fitbit Zip and I love it so I would be interested in a check-in. I use it to be aware of the choices I'm making and the amount of activity I'm getting in but I try not to be obsessive. For that reason, I don't want to compete either.

I read online that you should walk 6000 steps for health and 10,000 steps for weight loss so I try to at least get 6000 steps a day. Not that it always happens, sometimes life gets in the way. And my personal best so far is a little over 15,000.

Competing is a personal choice and wasn't my intent for the check-in. I'd just like a place where we FitBiters can check in and share our steps, goals, and accomplishments.

I would be interested, although I wear a Misfit, a cheap version of the fitbit, until I can save up enough for one.
