I love getting credit and setting goals. And I will definitely walk laps around the house if I notice I'm close to 10,000 steps or some other milestone :) ETA: I've had mine for 4 years and I don't think my love for it has waned</p> <p>@yin: @erinbaderin: I've had the clip-on "one" for years and was gifted the Alta for Christmas. Even though they're so pretty and I like the new features I returned it because such a big portion of my walking is with a stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734501 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:42:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2734501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: This makes me crazy! I get so mad at myself when I forget to put it in my pocket instead of on my wrist before I go grocery shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734486 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:28:38 +0000 Freckles 2734486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: It irritates me too! Like i'll do a crazy 60 minute meta-conditioning class and it'll say i only worked out for 20 minutes. </p> <p>Overall it does motivate me, especially since i work at home at a desk. I have 1 friend who is a SAHM and another with a treadmill desk so the challenges help me get going. I don't need as much motivation on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734483 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:27:01 +0000 yin 2734483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't find it accurate for me because I don't swing my arms enough when I walk. If I'm pushing the shopping cart or stroller, my steps don't count. I got discouraged and quit. I do like the sleep function, but I hated wearing it to bed. If I ever get back to regularly running, I'll wear it to track my run and progress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734480 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:25:07 +0000 lamariniere 2734480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I have a Speedo Shine something or other. I mainly wear it since it times my swimming workouts. I don't really look at my progress throughout the day, but it's kind of fun to see it light up when I check how I did at the end of the day.</p> <p>ETA: I got it as a gift and never even thought about buying one for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734478 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:23:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2734478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not mine. When I see other people wearing theirs I am motivated to put mine on and get moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734475 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:21:31 +0000 Andrea 2734475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was fun for a while, but I am a SAHM. It's a no brainer that I hit 10,000+ steps a day so I don't use it anymore. I didn't use the sleep function. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734337 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:21:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2734337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would but it doesn't.</p> <p>DH won a flex 2, no HRM - I will workout for 30 mins and it says I did 17 which irritates me - I haven worn it in a few days.</p> <p>Now it does motivate my 8yr old - he ran around like crazy one day and got 11,500 steps! He was very proud of himself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734332 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:20:13 +0000 youboots 2734332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I love it. It helps me walk at least 3.25 miles a day which I would not know how to track easily otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734331 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:19:48 +0000 mediagirl 2734331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like seeing the information that it provides but I'm not going to go walk 1000 steps if I've done 9000 in one day, just to hit 10k. So, I don't think it motivates me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734330 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:19:47 +0000 erinbaderin 2734330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I just set the hourly reminders up and having it buzz makes me get up and go for a walk around the office. I also run in place while I'm brushing my teeth now for extra steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2734329 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:19:42 +0000 winniebee 2734329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but I'm pregnant. I do love when my fitbit alarm signals that I've done 10,000 steps though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-fitbit-motivate-you-1#post-2733622 Thu, 11 May 2017 09:15:00 +0000 Bao 2733622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a Fitbit last week and so far it has really motivated me to get moving, I'm sure that will change the longer I have it though...but thinking optimistically, I hope not! </p> <p>Do you find your Fitbit (or similar) motivates you? Or do you find your fitness habits haven't changed much either way since owning one? </p>
