Fitbit? (1 Viewer)

[Poke_4_Life]

I'm in now. Wow some of you (Osaurus) put in a lot of steps everyday.

I'm working in DC this week and getting 10-12k/day. Still have no chance of catching some of you!

 

[Fiddles]

I should be back in next week, jerks. My zip is lost (2nd time, GDMF). Just ordered a one.

[Frank Drebin]

I'd get in on this if Fitbit would ever get the XL Charge HR back in stock...

GB of mine in the same boat.

 

[kevzilla]

According to the measurements I made, the XL won't be big enough.

Go with clip on version then gb.

 

[skol asylum]

Yeah the One works. I started with the HR and just didn't like wearing a watch.

 

[Fiddles]

I have a zip

if anyone has an old zip sitting in a drawer and wants to donate the case lemme know! preesh

 

[Osaurus]

Anyone else not seeing anything for last week's challenge? My app shows nothing at all.

 

[skol asylum]

Yeah it disappeared.

 

[skol asylum]

We on this week again? I gotta try do better than last week.

Hope so

 

[AAABatteries]

I did over 40k steps yesterday - first time I've managed to get there. Ended up being something like 17 miles. Use a Garmin - anybody else use one and want to do a step challenge?

 

[Osaurus]

Anyone else interested in joining our group? Been a slow/bad week for me due to work getting in the way. Wold be nice to have more folks in the weekly challenges.

 

[John Bender]

[skol asylum]

After two poor weeks, time to get on track again.

I sent out an invite. I don't think I have you as a friend though. One of the other guys should though. It's the usual suspects.

 

[Ted Stickles]

Anyone want to buy a brand new in box, still sealed Fitbit Flex in Black?

[Mr. Ected]

The band on my wife's Flex is starting to crack. Anyone had any luck with buying a new one? Any brands that people like?

Sometimes we also have a hard time getting it to charge. It seems like the connectors aren't meeting properly. Anyone ever bought a new charger?

TIA,

Lots of band you can buy on Amazon. Have an old Flex with charging issues. Not sure new charger is worth it IMO

Hers is less than a year old (Xmas 2014). Wonder what the warranty is for it.

Sounds like mine. They die pretty fast.

 

[John Bender]

All you guys in the FBG challenge can go crap up a tree.

This is unreal.

DO YOU LIVE ON A ####### TREADMILL?

 

[John Bender]

I just walked more today than I do in a week.

Thanks for the motivation. This is gonna be a hell of a challenge this week

Part of the fun of the challenge is worrying about you.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Do you need to properly calibrate these things to get them to count the steps correctly?

I tested mine out right after I got it, counting the steps to my car. Should have been over 1K steps, but it came in just over 800.

Also, my wife and I have basically the same stride (she's only an inch shorter) and we can walk a good distance and come up with completely different totals.

Mine also randomly adds steps while I'm driving home, and things like that.

[John Bender]

any other fbgs that have FitBit and want to join us for the WorkWeek Hustle should reach out.

We have a great consistent group of 5 or 6 guys that push each other every week.

It's all encouraging trash talk and done wonders for my level of fitness as far as keeping me accountable.

Don't be shy...shoot one a PM out if you want to step along.

We run a challenge almost every week.

 

[skol asylum]

We need a few slugs so i'm not always last.

It is very motivating. Never did as much as I do now and that's mostly due to the weekly challenges.

 

[Osaurus]

Is there a challenge this week?

 

[John Bender]

Nope . I texted fiddles and he didn't set it up either. You're the captain

Taking the week off then. Going for 40k on Friday at Disney World for personal best in a day.

 

[Osaurus]

So where's the onslaught of Resolutioners?

 

[John Bender]

Yeah - its about time we fired up the weekly challenge again. Someone get it going IMO

 

[skol asylum]

I have so fallen off the wagon. Count me in. Im going to crush it in '16.

1. Log into your fitbit.com dashboard and click the gear icon in the top right.
2. Click Settings.
3. Update the Stride Length and Running Stride Length fields. ...
4. Don't forget to click Save.

 

[skol asylum]

I could be wrong but I think stride length only comes into play when the fit bit counts distance in miles. A step is a step and is pick up as such. I get more distance in miles for the same amount of steps then my wife who is shorter. Or put the other way, if we were to walk 5 miles together she would get more steps.
