I want to try the ChargeHR because I'd really like to track general cardio better. But I don't like things on my wrists so I've stuck with the FitBit One. Can't they find a way to track heart rate from my bra strap?

I used to just tuck mine inside my bra

Ooh, that didn't occur to me. It wasn't too bulky?

diamondsndaisies so many hugs and all the love to you

Just kinda dealt with it until I got comfy with the flex

Hey FitBit ladies!

I was messing around on FitBit and saw that you can create/join groups. Would anyone be interested in linking up if I create a GKU group? Then we can help hold each other accountable.

It looks like people in your group can see First Name & Last Initial (if you included your last name when registering) but no emails, etc. From there you can become friends with others if you want.

Anyone interested?

I'd be up for it. I really need to get a better step game going. I used to have good stats, but the last several months have been sad.

Today can go back to the fiery depths of hell that it came from.

I am 9 weeks out from my c-section and my incision is still not healed. I have to go in today to have them open part of it back up and clean it out. then a few minutes later, I get a phone call saying that the hospital lost part of the pictures of our girls that we took. It is all of the pictures we took of the 4 of us. I can never get those back. I am heartbroken. At least we have some pictures of the girls by themselves but that is it.

I just want to go home and go back to bed and make today go away.

So many hugs and that is so shitty they lost pictures.

The cheap coffee maker MIL got us for Christmas was defective so I returned it yesterday and upgraded to the Ninja coffee bar. I think I will be drinking all the coffee today!

I didn't think I'd like the Ninja coffee bar as much as I love my Keurig, but I'm so happy! Thankfully we still have a Keurig at work so my pods won't go to waste.

We're keeping our Keurig until our k-cups run out of it dies, whichever comes first. It has been so long since we've had a regular coffee maker that we need to find a type of ground coffee we like again. And luckily we do have a Keurig at work, too, so I won't have to completely give up my Hawaiian blend k-cups.

Green Mountain Coffee Rainforest Nut used to be my favorite ground coffee and when they discontinued it in K Cups I cried. But now I can't find it in decaf. so for now I'm drinking DD decaf.

I'm on tapatalk too and the link wouldn't work so I had to go to Fitbit online and login and then you go through "community" at the top and search groups...buuuut...I can't find the group now...

Dude. Yes. So much sloth. This thing has shamed me and gotten me off my ass, which is exactly what I wanted.

Which model do you ladies have?  I have a flex and wonder if there is any benefit to upgrading.  I would like to see my step count on the device and not just the light indicators.  

I have the flex and I love it. But I'm more focused on step count/progress than HR. I like the way the flex fits and how small it is. Blends in better.

[onesweetworld]

I'm thinking of buying a tread climber instead of going to the gym. Does anyone have any experience?

So I've been debating getting a fitbit, and one big holdup for me is that, like rooskie , I wear a watch and cannot go without (I forgot it this morning and I feel naked and vulnerable - what time is it?!?) Does anyone with a watch use a fitbit? Do you put it on your wristwatch arm and just double up? Have a watch on one arm and fitbit on the other? It just seems like it could look silly either way. Is the One the way to go?

Basically, what I want is an Apple watch Which reminds me, Powerball is $300 million, I guess I should buy a ticket...

I wear a hair band on my left wrist and my fitbit on my right wrist.

[jubilantsquirrel]

I guess this means I should probably charge my FitBit now, huh?

[kayladawn91]

MIL told us we can have her elliptical! Her back has gotten really bad over the past year and she can no longer use it. This will help with all of my New Years resolutions! Yay!

RajahMD skip at least the first two prequels...or all three. Only the original three are worth watching (in my opinion) I never saw prequel 3 bc I just couldn't handle it after how bad the first two were...but MH actually said it was pretty good. The second prequel ranks among the worst movies of all time IMHO

My boss and I were discussing what order to watch these in last week, because his son has never seen them but wanted to go see the new movie. We decided ultimately the order should be IV, I, V, II, II then VI.

But yea, the prequels blow.

If you don't, we will know!

You're certainly not alone. The website is telling me that I last used my FitBit 8 weeks ago.

Do you know who Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader are?  If so, you're good to go.

Darth is someone's father, but I can never remember who's. I'm seriously not kidding when I say I know next to nothing about Star Wars. 

And yes, I do live under a rock. You should see the list of movies I need to watch that MH has put together. It's quite extensive. I've always been more of a book person.

I just... I'm dying here. I mean the whole "Luke, I am your father" line is one of the most iconic lines in pop culture.

ME! I need a group to compete with. I used to compete with my coworkers but they got bored of it and no one does the fitbit thing anymore.

I hadn't used mine since May until about a month ago. My charger broke and I kept forgetting to buy a new one.

Mine needs to be reset, that seems like too much work.

I really should switch them, since the FB is supposed to be on the non-dominant hand. But for some reason I've always worn my watch on my right wrist too, so when I got the fitbit I started wearing it on the right. It feels weird on my left.

With the flex it's super easy - you just put it in the charger then push the little button on the charger. Bam, reset.

DAMMIT. For a brief, shining moment I was on top of the leaderboard for the month.

I've always worn a watch on my left, even though I've gone years without a watch, it just feels natural to have my Apple Watch on now. I can't even imagine switching.

[daisy818]

Yeah, I'm thinking now that the One might be my best bet - on top of my weird need to have my normal (pretty Citizen) watch on one hand, I also think that the fitbit might look a bit casual with a business suit at work. I'm not sure I've seen any of my coworkers wearing one. But I do have room to tuck it in my bra!
