I purchased a Fitbit Alta today. I needed an extra bit of motivation to keep moving. Anyone have fitness trackers? Have they offered more motivation for you towards your goals?

    In my case yes. I have a Fitbit Blaze and the ability to sync the Fitbit with MFP has been a huge motivation for me. I am also in constant challenges with friends which is also an additional motivation. I am sometimes chasing extra steps just because I'm in a competition.

    The motivation for me is boosting how many cals I get to eat. Plus, I just love data.

    Yes, mine has really helped both in awareness of how little I move and motivation to get off my backside.

    I have a Garmin Vivofit2 because it is one of the few that are water resistant and I take water aerobics classes.

    I am so far loving the Apple watch for a fitness tracker. I like how everything comes together on the health app.

    I bought a Gearfit 2. I like that it vibrates when I sit still for too long during the day. I am retired so I have lots of time to get moving. I love it.
