I guess you need to "pair" your device with the "Fitbit network" first. This 
means instructing the Fitbit server which tracker ID you are using, as well as 
your weight, age, height, and so on ... The good news is, we are currently 
working toward achieving this with galileo itself, at the moment, we (I) hope 
to get it ready for the 0.5 release, unfortunately, we don't have this working 
yet.

Most of the people used the computer of a friend, the telephone of a friend, or 
a Mac or Windows computer to achieve that. Unfortunately, I cannot really tell 
you when that'll be ready. Hopefully soon ...

As soon as that'll be ready, we'll announce the next release.

Best Regards,
Ben.
