Who uses a fitness tracker?

I'm considering a tracker, like Fitbit. What do you have and how well do you like it?

    I think Fitbit is probably the best value out there. I bought a Motoactv fitness watch, which is cool and all, but it was expensive and is already not supported. Garmin is still support but you will spend the $$ to get it.

    I used to have a bodybugg, but I had to pay a subscription to use it. I know have a fitbit one and it works as good as the bodybugg and there's no subscription fee. I got it at the beginning of the month and I love it.

    God bless,

    I've been checking into the Fitbit as well. Seems everyone likes them, especially the Fitbit One. In case you don't want to spend a lot of money to find out, Brad's Deals listed a deal at Brookstone for the Fitbit Flex or Fitbit One for $20.00 off with code ADCAD20. In addition, you can buy a Groupon for $25 and get $50 off and immediately apply it to your order as well. Total is $54.95 plus $9.99 shipping. Comments were made that local stores were honoring this deal as well. I'm going to call my local store before ordering, so I could get it sooner, but this is the best deal around. I currently use a Motoactv as well but curious about the Fitbit. There is also a review posted on Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit One. Good luck!

    I also have a Fitbit--bought it at Best Buy a little over a week ago. My goal is 10,000 steps and day (and to stay #1 out of all my friends who use Fitbit LOL). No kidding that beating your friends' averages can get you moving.

    I have the Fitbit and love its feedback - the visual graph, showing the spikes in your day is motivating to me ( let's add just ONE more spike!). I actually just bought one for my 14 year old, not to motivate him, but more because I was curious as to how active he actually is. I'm very active (I aim for 20,000 steps per day) but he's been beating me!
