So, we have the "what activity monitor to buy" thread, but nothing for those folks who are out there fitbittin' up a storm. Thought it might be nice for those of us who are using these to have one place to chat.
One of the benefits of being underemployed these days is that I'm getting a lot of steps in. Decided to go for stairs yesterday. Got myself 229 flights. Was a little cheesed to find out that after getting new achievements every 25 flights, after 200, the next one is 300.
Did decide that when going for flights, you need a "Goldilocks" kind of route. too steep and you'll get tired way too early. I ended up doing two different approaches to nose hill. One from the Rona on Edmonton trail, which is a good hike. Another from the bottom of the 14th street hill at Northmount Drive. I think that one is more efficient.
I do use it to track weight, as I have been working on shedding a few pounds over the last six months. Down 17 pounds.
My badges:
Castle (200 floors in a day)
Trail Shoe: 30,000 steps in a day (multiple times)
Italy (1184 lifetime KMs)
Hot Air balloon (2000 lifetime floors)
Who else is loving the fitbit life?
