Changed my Life

I didn’t know if I should put this under #Wellness in weight management or if under #Shopping under Athletic Wear or Watches - I wish there was a #FitnessTracker category! That aside - It has genuinely changed my life!!! I absolutely love my FitBit Alta HR - I got the special edition in rosegold (pebble) and pink silicone band - size small. I know newer models have launched but none have the slimness of the Fitbit Alta HR. The HR (HeartRate) feature allows it to more accurately calculate how many calories I burn a day so I can ensure using the food diary bit - which is like a MyFitnessPal diary (app on my iPhone and linked) that I stay under my calorie goal - I had unfortunately gained weight due to a medication and it has helped me lose 45lbs of that successfully!! I love the idea of watches but kinda couldn’t stand wearing them, this is so featherlight I don’t feel it. (Initially I did have a bit of a rash/reaction where the HR leads sit above my skin, but that was entirely due to my wearing it too tight, as soon as I loosened it the issue was resolved) I choose to wear it when I sleep as well (as I was having some sleep issues like NightTerrors and insomnia from PTSD) and the HR also allows it to monitor my sleep and via the app I can see how much time I spent in each sleep stage/hours slept overall for patterns etx. The only thing of note is the connector where the bands attach to the pebble on each side have deteriorated for me - I am on my third set of bands (which are removable even if you just want to switch them out for fun to match bands to your outfit colours etc) but the company has been phenomenal in standing behind their product and both replacement bands were sent to me free of charge!! Their service was a world-class standard in my eyes ❤️ I believe they have been bought out so I bet that is no longer the same unfortunately... I love all the features - steps, distance, goals you can set, can enter and note weight to monitor weight loss, active minutes and the overall daily summary shown in the app - it’s all pretty customizable. There is also an active online FitBit community - I love the challenges with others too which you can be invited or create and invite others for continued motivation, the forum (website) for questions and answers and that you can link to your real-life friends in the app and cheer each other on etc - Highly recommend, could not recommend it strongly enough, if you want to change your life and feel empowered - It’s amazing!!!💕
