Fitbit Group is gone

Post by Frita »

Our Fitbit Group is now gone. FB has deleted them so people can join their groups. Any ideas? Any interest in organizing a monthly forum checkin?

It looks like you can set up another group through the mobile app. I can do it if people are interested.

Is anyone in another fitbit group through the app? How secure is it?

I set up a group. The name is simply "Early Retirement Extreme". It's a closed group. It looks like I can add you to the group if you either send a request after searching for the group or send me your fitbit username.

I think everyone in the group will be 'friends' so make sure you set your phone to block fitbit's access to anything personal before joining just to be safe.

You can PM me your fitbit name if you prefer.

I've gotten a couple of friend requests on fitbit from people I don't recognize. Has someone here sent the request so they can join the ERE fitbit group?

Nope, I never seemed to be able to join the group and gave up. I seem to walk between 12-15 K/day regardless.
