    Might want to repost this under the exercise / fitness board, since you posted this in the introduce yourself board. I hope there is someone out there who can help with this. I am in the same boat, been looking at them trying to decide too.

    i've got fitbit flex, thought force should be much better. :) Pretty handy thing, you can sync it with MFP and it will add the calories you burned to your allowance.

    I got a pre-loved Fitbit One as an early Christmas present and I really like it. Syncing it with MFP is easy, plus you can sync it to Walgreens and get more points! I like the fitbit site and use it in conjunction with MFP (all entries still done on MFP.)

    I started with a fitbit Ultra and loved it so much that when the flex came out I sold my ultra to get the wristband. I ended up getting a fitbit force. I love the idea of the wristband but it is not accurate at all. It counts everytime you move your arm (driving, eating, combing your hair.....). Now I have a Fitbit one and I love it.

    I used to have a FitBit Ultra. I loved it. When I bought my boyfriend a One for his birthday we ended up getting me one as well and I sold my Ultra. I absolutely love it.

    You can sync it to Walgreens?! How and for what purpose?

    I have the new Fitbit Force. LOVE it!!! Has a display (also a watch) that shows my steps, calories burned, miles walked, etc... It is awesome!!! But it only works with certain "gadgets" (ipod 3, 4 and mini, certain iphones and samsungs). Check that info before you buy :)

    Do all the Fitbits require a fancy smart gadget to work? I am clueless about them.

    Walgreen's has an activity program where you earn points for logging your weight and exercise. Those points translate into Balance Rewards which translate into cash. I have almost $10 in rewards, although am not sure how to redeem them. :)

    Got the Flex in July, moved to the Force & love it.

    Also can sync to EveryMove, Earndit, AchieveMint as well as Walgreens for points, discounts, cash & goodies. Also donate your calories burnt to the weightlossproject.org

    What do you mean? Fitbit IS the gadget

    Sorry I forgot to check back on my post. :embarassed: By fancy smart gadget I ment do they require a smart phone to work? Or can they just be used with a standard old fashion desktop computers. I keep hearing about syncing them up with smart phones.

    I just got the force for Christmas. I'm hoping that it will get me motivated to lose 33 pounds. So far I've enjoyed the Force and it seems to be fairly accurate regarding my step count. I'm still learning about Myfitnesspal and The Fit in regards to how they collaborate with each other... Good luck everyone..

    I have the FItbit One, have had it for two years and love it! If this one dies, I would buy another one. No problems with it either.

    Edited to add: I just noticed the original post was early December so I am sure you have one already. For some reason I thought you were buying yourself one after Christmas lol. I hope you are enjoying your Fitbit
