It'd been wonky for about 4 or 5 days, so nothing for me is accurate in the group. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2029797 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:23:49 +0000 travellingbee 2029797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I parked far away from grocery store, chasing a toddler and it was nice this weekend so we went to the zoo yesterday and a park today.,. Hard when it's cold or rainy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2029769 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 19:59:35 +0000 Cole 2029769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just starting to get into the swing of things again, I appreciate those who added me recently, it helps knowing there are fresh eyes on me!</p> <p>I cannot believe how much I am struggling to get 10,000 a day right now! It's cold and my pelvis separated while I was pregnant so that plays a role... But mostly it's cold! How are you guys getting extra steps these days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2029753 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 19:27:32 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2029753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just joined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2029693 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 18:15:40 +0000 travellingbee 2029693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay wait how do I join? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2021823 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:04:23 +0000 swurlygurl 2021823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: On the Fit Bit dashboard (on the computer at least, not sure about mobile) there's an option to link to your Facebook to find friends. But, then that would only find Fit Bit friends that have also linked to their Facebook. It doesn't sound like it's too easy to find all your Fit Bit friends :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2021815 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:00:42 +0000 Chillybear 2021815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess i'm looking for a way to find like friends from facebook or coworkers easily.... I'll happily friend anyone on HB Group </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/3#post-2021798 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:51:25 +0000 csross217 2021798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joined!

I joined the HB group. How would i go about finding other friends or groups is there a "you may now this person" tab? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2021751 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:24:08 +0000 bushelandapeck 2021751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do I find everyone on the app?

It had to log in a couple different times, it took me to Safari where I had to log in to each site... it was a clunky process, but it ended up working </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2021714 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:00:16 +0000 Chillybear 2021714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: How do you go about linking them?

However, I wanted to start getting back in the habit of logging my food. </p> <p>Many moons ago i religiously used My Food Diary .com which is a great resource but has fallen by the way side of technology. Their website is great but the app is less than desirable and its $9/month. Any way, I created an account on Fitbit so i could see my dashboard and start logging food. I also have an (inactive) account at my fitness pal and lose it. What's the best way to do this? I'm already hitting road blocks on the fit bit log in that I can't make "recipes" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002928 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:17:23 +0000 kiddosc 2002928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just joined! My battery needed to be charged so I took my fitbit off a few weeks ago and "forgot" to put it back on. The holidays were not kind... time to get back on the wagon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002844 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:23:00 +0000 cascademom 2002844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: LO has a game where we chase each other around the kitchen island with mops or brooms. It always helps with the steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002777 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:50:18 +0000 Espion 2002777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Oh girl, I drove DH <i>crazy</i> because I would pace around our kitchen island. Some days, it was the only way I reached 10,000! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002769 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:47:24 +0000 IRunForFun 2002769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never actually joined, and haven't used my FitBit in forever...mostly because it depressed me that I never reached 10,000 steps. :silly: Might have to join now and start using it again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002752 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:37:09 +0000 Espion 2002752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I like it, because I used the Fitbit and the "dashboard" feature to log my calories. I set my calorie goals (you can choose to a half pound, pound, or pound and a half per week) and then logged all my food religiously. I was able to see in real time how active I was and how it was affecting how much I could eat for the day. (If I happened to climb 50 flights of stairs that day, then I "bought" myself a glass of wine for dinner.) </p> <p>About 98% of the time I was eating more than 1300 calories, which is enough for me not to feel deprived and I ate more when I actually worked out while still maintaining a deficit. (It will actually tell you how many calories you have "left" and you can earn more calories by being active. And if I wanted a glass of wine, I actually pre-logged it to account for the calories ahead of time so I could govern my choices better during the day.) </p> <p>It is how I lost 20 pounds last year from Thanksgiving to New Years when I finally gave up on breastfeeding. (I was too scared to diet before then.) And I did it by logging 10,000 steps, 50 flights of stairs (we have one flight in our house), and doing 20 minutes of squats/push-ups, etc. per day. No aerobics. No running. Totally doing it again after this kid is out. </p> <p>My only complaint is that the food database kind of sucks, but I think you can link up My Fitness Pal food database and accomplish the same thing. I haven't tried it though. And they may have updated the food database since last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002652 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:49:58 +0000 BandDmommy 2002652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is Fitbit worth it?

Duh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002326 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:59:40 +0000 cascademom 2002326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyG: You can add friends from the community board as well. You go to the person's profile and do an add friend instead of disseminating email addresses on a public board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002318 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:55:45 +0000 JennyG 2002318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just joined the group. I think we have share email addresses to become friends and challenge each other. The group discussion board would probably be a good place to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002268 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:38:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 2002268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: Haha, I love the 220 weeks part! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hellobee-fitbit-group/page/2#post-2002192 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:04:21 +0000 Espion 2002192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Ha!
