Hi all
I bought a Fitbit at the weekend, hoping it'll get me out of a rut and get moving a bit more and lose a bit of weight.
I've not got too much to lose but being only 5ft 2 and a real pear shape I start to look bottom heavy very quickly!
I've got quite into the Fitbit and wondered if anyone on here would be up for a bit of a Fitbit challenge? No one I know seems to have one except for my super fit sister and friends!

There are quite a few of us who are on Fitbit as friends, I'll send you a personal message & you can join us. All very anonymous as Fitbit is real names & MN isn't. Lots of week or weekend challenges & meeting personal daily goals.

VelvetB · 08/05/2017 11:47

That's great Thankyou! Smile

I'm interested too! Could you message me as well? Xx

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 12:07

Will do - will add you to the challenge I've just set up too.

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 12:12

@charimito, I've added you.

BaronessEllaSaturday · 08/05/2017 12:15

VelvetB · 08/05/2017 12:29

Yay! I think we're fitbit friends now :)

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 12:44

@BaronessEllaSaturday I have sent you a PM so you'll be able to find me & then I can add you to our workweek challenge...

leavethelighton · 08/05/2017 13:53

Any chance I could join as well? I think a little friendly competition might kick me into gear!

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 14:04

I'll pm you in a minute @leavethelighton

dyzzidi · 08/05/2017 14:05

Can I join too? I have quite a bit to lose!

Sjjr23 · 08/05/2017 14:19

Could I join too please?
Competition could be the kick up the bum I need!

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 14:30

@dyzzidi & @Sjjr23

I've sent you both pms & have pm'd @leavethelighton

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 08/05/2017 14:37

Could I join too please? Got a new fitbit the other week, a d could do with some motivation

Minniemagoo · 08/05/2017 14:54

Hey, I'm 8 weeks post major back surgery and using the fitbit to up my walking, would the group work for me or are you all on major distances?
I'd love a few friends just to keep my motivation up.

ZestyCitrus · 08/05/2017 15:07

I would love some Fitbit friends too please Smile

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 16:37

@MyVisionsComeFrom Soup, @Minniemagoo & @ZestyCitrus

I've pm'd you all and you should be able to find me.

From what I can see people cover a wide range of steps per day so you should be fine @Minniemagoo. I think having the weekly or daily challenges (which can be to reach your step goal, that being as low as you want) really helps.

I have set up a Workweek Challenge and added some names but I don't know who is which MN name & don't want to so as to ensure that the MN anonymity remains.

ZestyCitrus · 08/05/2017 18:38

Hi @BigGreenOlives, thanks for your PM. I name change every week so don't worry about my anonymity but thank you for the thought!

Looking forward to getting started with everyone!

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 08/05/2017 18:39

Thanks, I'll get it set up later, when i'm not multitasking work and dinner and listening to teenage wittering Grin.

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 08/05/2017 18:40

Minimagoo- I'm walking only, I'm not currently built for running Wink. In three stones time maybe, but not at present!

BigGreenOlives · 08/05/2017 22:10

MyVisionsComeFromSoup no need to compare yourself with anyone else - the hardest part is showing up.

Procrastination4 · 09/05/2017 06:34

Oh dear! I bought one on Saturday....but I haven't even taken it out of its box yet! Obviously, when I picked my username a few years ago, it wasn't on an idle whim😀.

Beansonapost · 09/05/2017 06:46

Can I be added?

need someone other than my DH!

CatherineHate · 09/05/2017 08:01

ooh, and me too!
