Suggestions on affordable fitness bands. I was like it to be under 100 and preferably something I never have to take off (for showering or swimming).

    I love my garmin vivoft. There are several styles. I never take mine off for the shower and the battery is good for a year.

    I had two fitbits, and had nothing but syncing issues with them on and off. Buy a Misfit Shine 2 - is pretty, light and comfortable, syncs flawlessly every time, waterproof (I never take it off), doesn't need charging (new watch type battery every 6 months or so), doesn't irritate or hurt your wrist, alerts for phonecalls and texts, and there are a range of wearable accessories available. I'll never go back to a fitbit.

    I've had a Fitbit before and forget which one. I had issues with the small clock screen getting really scratched up (I have an office job, nothing rough), and for $150 I didn't think that should be happening. The band also really irritated my skin, even after having it for months and got dirty quite easily. I would have to take it off for a few days before my skin would stop being red. It was nice to have the HR monitor, though.

    Right now I have a Jawbone UP2, they're discontinued so you can get one for like $20 on Amazon but no HR monitor. I like the simplicity of it and can go a week without charging it and never really take it off. Plus, it has an activity reminder you can set to vibrate if you've been sitting too long (can personalize how long it waits before going off). The app also syncs with the MFP app, so that's pretty nice.
