Tansy my hip surgery is Oct1st. You will be So glad you had the surgery. I love my two new knees! Smiley Happy
Well, I've been through it once before. My hips hurt periodically, too. Yuk.
Oh, did not know you already had knee surgery. Both my hips are shot...will have other done later. I am going tomorrow to have a second crown done( did one a week and a half ago) so all my dental work is caught up. I would rather have knee surgery all over again than a crown done... Smiley Sad

Re: Anyone have a Fitbit Zip?

I have worn mine , usually clipped inside my bra, since April. I also use the food logs and sych everything to my laptop.

I LOVE it. My best friend and I do our own "boot camps" a few times a year. We try to get up to 25,000 steps a day, or more.

I really works if you stick with it.

I often find myself walking an extra mile with the dog at night if I am short on steps that day.

Mine refused to take a charge after two months, so I got my money back....not going to replace!

Re: Anyone have a Fitbit Zip?

I love mine. Originally ordered the flex that was a TSV. I returned it as didn't like there was no display. I don't use my phone a lot so didn't want to run to the phone or computer to check my progress. I clip mine to the inside of my bra. It encourages me to keep going during the day and not sit. The older you get the more inclined you are to sit and I find this makes me keep moving.

Re: Anyone have a Fitbit Zip?

Thanks girls. My grandson gave me his Fitbit Flex to use but I'm Italian and I can sit in my chair talking to someone and it says I walked 700 steps so I've been wearing it in my belt loop but it looks kinda lame. I clip it on my shoelace when bike riding so it registers my steps. I guess I'll do the same when I get my fitbit zip. Thanks again.

The Q TSV was the Fitbit Flex which is rechargeable.

got the Fitbit Zip and can't get it to work. Synced with my Iphone but when I tap it nothing happens. I even had gotten the smiley face when it synced. Will be returning.

Re: Anyone have a Fitbit Zip?

Does it stop recording steps at a certain time or do you have to reset to 0 at beginning of day???
