The flower grows and shrinks based on your activity level throughout the day. It is a graphical representation of your activity over the past 3 hours. Keep moving to grow your flower and keep it grown. There are 11 leaves on a fully grown flower. It will adapt as you become fit, so you will find it harder and harder to fully grow your flower. The flower display can be disabled on Fitbit Ultra from the setup screen.
Each time you pick up your Fitbit Ultra, words of encouragement are displayed. Three words or phrases are stored on the Fitbit Ultra and are updated randomly each time you sync. The Chatter display can be disabled from the Fitbit Ultra setup screen. Greeting (Fitbit Ultra only) A greeting can be displayed each time you pick up your Fitbit Ultra.

Logging your weight every day is not necessary. Your weight can fluctuate throughout the day based on many factors. For best results, weigh yourself at the same time every day. If you do log your weight every day, don't get overly worried on the ups and downs you see. Look at the overall trend in your graphs. Smaller, shorter term goals can help you lose weight compared to looking at a larger, overall goal. If you have a Withings scale, Fitbit can download your weight data from the Withings site.
