    I use a Fitbit one, it's a fantastic little gadget. It's tough too, even survived a spin in the washing machine!!!!!

    The Fitbit One has been very motivating for me; I seem to respond well to the challenge of daily goals and check my progress during the day on my device (which I wear 24/7, except when showering). I, too, will go out for another walk or do more floors to ensure I get my Fitbit goals. I've been using mine since November 2012. I kind of like the idea of the Flex bracelet type but it does not have a readout of actual numbers on the device (as I understand it), but a series of lights that you can look at to see progress toward goals. Plus with the One I can hide it under a bra strap, whereas the bracelet is obviously visible all the time. I may upgrade yet; still thinking about it!

    I started with the Ultra in May 2012. It cracked & they replaced it with the One. I then bought the Flex, which I don't take off except to charge it. Love it. I have the iPhone 4 and you can't sync it on that model so I have to sync on my computer,but I do still have the app so I can see my stats on it. If you're a data geek the fitbit is for you.

    I want the fitbit zip... BAD!! But my question is this, do you have to have a smart phone for it or can you use it with your desktop or laptop?

    I used my Fitbit One exclusively with my PC from end of May until this past weekend when I got an iPhone :-)

    Thanks for the input, everyone. I too was thinking of buying this, now I've decided this will be my reward for reaching my next five-kilo mini goal.

    I agree I just bought the flex and so far it seems to work very well. I have worn it non stop since I bought it and even shower with it. I was going to buy body media but my co-worker suggested this one. I think I prefer it because I wear it on my wrist and I don't think I would like the body media arm band. I also like that it tracks my sleeping patterns and you can set an alarm to make it vibrate to wake you up.
    I LOVE MY FITBIT FLEX. I can wear it day and night and its waterproof so i do shower and wash my hands with it. its a bracelet and usually i charge it once a week, with my phone charger since i can remove the cord and plug in the one they provide. I love that it sync with MFP and my smartphone so I can just check my progress on my phone. Like others have said it just encourages me to get more steps, miles, and burn more calories.Their customer service is so aweome.
