Hellobee Boards

Count me in!

Did you start a group? I wanna join! Willing to share my profile (on your walls for privacy) and be friends with anyone who's interested too!

Me! How do we find each other though? Mine finds my friends through my email contacts...

I just got my Fitbit! Which Fitbit does everyone have? I have the Fitbit One. DH can't decide between the One and the Flex.

I'm in! I got a flex for Christmas!

ETA: just joined and I'm #1, get to stepping ladies!

@hellobeeboston: I will take that as a challenge then

@yerpie110: I was already a nervous pacer so fit bit is right up my alley! lol

I just walk around whenever I think of it! Going to pump right now .... I'll pace back and forth a little before sitting down and then again when I'm done. Park a little further away at work, etc. ...
Plus I'm competing with my DH! So that's motivating!

I joined! (I'm #2...I got my eye on you @cmomma17: ) My goal is at least 10,000 steps/day and 50 stairs/day. Definitely motivates me not to flop onto my butt after work!

@cmomma17: LOL ! Of course I had to go and open my big fat mouth.

@Espion: I totally slacked off yesterday due to the cold (and will again today since I'm staying home) so it looks like you have a chance!
What are you doing to meet your daily goal?

@cmomma17: Yesterday was a bit of a fluke! I had to trek back and forth across the hospital complex a few times because I'm scatterbrained. If I'm having trouble making the 10,000 at the end of the day, I'll get on our treadmill, but I've only done that once. Mainly I try to get a ton of walking in! And we have a flight of stairs in our house, so I drive DH crazy running up and down them to make my goal 50 flights of stairs.

@grizz: I have the flex and I love it so far.
@espion: no fair, you work in a hospital, have a treadmill and have stairs. Cheater! I pace around like a crazy person and drive DH crazy. Although I actually did that as exercise when I was hugely pregnant too, and couldn't fathom going to the gym.

@cmomma17: Ha! I try to avoid the treadmill like the plague. And my job mostly involves standing in one spot for long periods of time, so I circle our kitchen island a lot, lol!

I just turned my fitbit back on after an unfortunately long hiatus and signed up for the group.

@grizz: I have the fitbit one and I like it a lot, I appreciate that I can clip it to the center of my bra, I am highly unlikely to lose it there and it is discreet. I also like that it counts stairs, some days hitting 10,000 steps is just not going to happen so I like that I can at least hit my stairs goal even if it means sprinting stairs before bed.
@cmomma17: @Espion: I pace my house like a crazy person too, I also found that bouncing hard on a yoga ball counts (which I am fairly certain burns more calories than a single step so I don't feel like it is cheating!) So sometimes while watching tv I will just bounce away.

@Cole: yep, I get bouncing "steps" too thanks to LO!
@espion: my DH is on his feet all day at work and was sure he walked more than me at my desk job. Nope! Apparently he just stands around all day!
@ncsuchick27: me too! Haha so mad I'm like 2000 steps short of my goal today but I really need to go to bed!

Mine syncs with my Galaxy S4 and my iPad pretty easily. Sometimes I have to turn my Bluetooth off and back on before it will sync, but most of the time it works fine.

I was also able to sync my MyFitnessPal app with my FitBit. I like using their food diary better because the database is more extensive.

@Espion: I'm experiencing the same! So annoying.
