- Johnny Cat at 1,377,312 steps
- Whayne at 1,334,310 steps
- Alan at 1,250,067 steps
Congrats to you all for kicking ass this month! It was fun to see everyone working so hard in the community to move and be active. The winners up above are walking (or running) home with a new Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi bathroom scale. We also had two random drawings to win the scale, one from within the Fitbit group and the other among the Mobile Nations community. Here are the winners for the random drawing:
- cmfntn in our #MobileFit Fitbit community
- NickChamberlin in our Android Central and Connectedly communities
Congrats you two! We'll be in contact with all the winners to shipping details.
