I failed to reach my goal on Staurday as i was just lazing about all day, ended my 112 day streak
Must be really active. I assumed I was because I went to the gym daily, I've only hit 3,000 twice
Got a tip for us?

I don't go to the Gym but i have a very active Job, always on the go.
I hit 9,315 fuel points yesterday.
My highest ever was 7K. I don't remember what I was doing that day. Generally, I get 4K average walking around school
All by movement and I actually improved on the 9,315 that day too.

Yup, I prefer this because of the Bluetooth syncing and the app is very engaging. Sort of like a game you play with fitness built into it. Oh and the Fuelband looks cool since it also tells time!
I just recently got my fuelband and i love it. I was just wondering how many fuel points most people are getting at work?
I work in IT so am on my feet alot and i am getting around 1700-2000 depending on the day. I was just wondering if this is normal or a bit too many?
What are you getting?

I just got one and am super loving it so far. Only day three but already got mad at myself for not starting a streak and missing my goal yesterday (set at a measly 2000). I think i got like 1800 or something. As soon as I can get on a 2k streak i'm going to raise it to 3k. I know this isnt the most accurate health monitor ever but the motivational factor makes it like a fun real life videogame.
I do really like the look of the Fuelband. It just seems like the UP might have more functionality. Still torn haha.
I don't track how much fuel at work, but I can get my goal by 3-4pm usually. It's set at 3000, and I'm up around 5am.
I love the fuelband as well it is such a motivator. I haven't been able to get over 7000 yet. I get about 2800 everyday besides the days i play basketball. They are usually around 5000-5500.
i like mine. i've had it for awhile now. i have my goal set at 3000. i get it most days, but sometimes it is a struggle. i think i've missed it twice so far this year. since i'm already on nike+, it was a given to get the fuelband compared to other rivals. the fuelband isn't perfect, but i do like it
Has anyone felt like they are earning more fuel than normal lately?
I had surgery and I guess using crutches burns a ton of fuel? I had to drop my Fuel to 2000 since getting injured and that was tough to meet on most days. I'm hitting almost 5000 now. I could only get near 5000 after playing basketball for a few hours. Not sure what is going on.

Well the band just basically tracks wrist movement so every time you move the crutch, you're possibly gaining fuel.
For all those with the Band, there's been an update. We now can have Nike+ friends as part of the leaderboard (no facebook needed!).
The second part of the update is to include a photo, where you are, and who you're with when you share.
I'm just excited about the leaderboard part. I've been bugging Nike about that for some time now.

Hi All. If people are still friending for Leaderboards, feel free to add me - have only just started using my FuelBand.

I'll get on that when I have time.
It might be fun since we can add friends now from the app. My band got an 801 error again so I'm pretty pissed that it happened twice already.
Does anyone know what the deal is with the ice (I assume) versions that several celebrities are wearing? They appear to be the white versions but they seem to have black buttons...
Tim Cook's:
Serena Williams':
Kanye West's:
They all appear to be the same but from my digging I can't find any info on whether they are a special model, a limited edition, gifted from Nike, prototypes, etc...
And... I'm late to the discussion but I've been using a Fuelband for just over a year now. Love it compared to my previous Jawbone UPs. Sadly a few days ago the button died so I can no longer use it as a watch and have to sync it using my Mac. Aside from that I've been really happy with it. Going to try to hold out on replacing it until the rumored "Fuelband 2" is released.
Here's my best day, the NYC Half Marathon in March followed by a day of exploring New York City on foot.

Nope. The black ice is a regular color choice now.
----------
The Bluetooth only activates when you hold the button and for a bit after it syncs to the phone. If you exit out of the app on the phone, you can see your movement won't sync after a bit.
I get that, but does the black ice really look that gray/light in real life? I've only seen the original black and the white ice in person.
