    I loved my Up especially the app with its daily motivation messages. However I broke two in 6 months which was a very expense habit to have ( in both cases the switch went, then I stopped being able to charge them).

    After a bit of research, I moved to a Fitbit One (it is not wrist-worn) and it is great. It can be linked with MFP and the app is getting better all the time. More to the point, I haven't killed it after 8 months of use!

    I have both a Fitbit Flex & a Jawbone UP24. UP requires a compatible smartphone or tablet. Fitbit can sync (via a dongle) with a computer.

    They've both broken & been replaced the same number of times. After all, they're tiny computers I wear on my wrist 24/7. (I only take them off to charge.) Fitbit's customer service is way better than Jawbone's.

    Non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) needs to be logged either in your activity tracker or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overrides your tracker burn during that time, so I always log in my trackers.

    I have recently purchased the FitBit Charge HR and I love it. I've just started using MFP and doing the Couch25K program, and I'm now hooked! So easy to use
