Are Activity Trackers worth the money?
Are activity trackers worth the money or is the better question, How useful is the information? It seems that manually logging your workouts or activity coupled with the nutrition tracking provided my MFP would be enough. Am I just being a Negative Nelly? Just curious before I drop $100+

Is it normal to gain four lbs in one day?

The only junk I eat is an occasional protein bar.
