    I love mine, it's really helped me to understand how many calories I burn a day, and in turn how much I can eat & still lose.

    Yes, I love it!, I also have the goal of loosing more than 100 Pounds, The Fitbit has helped me to keep track of my calories deficit between what I eat and what I burn . It also motivates me to stay more active. Great tool, I have the Fitbit one which is very small, not intrusive and out of everybody else's sight.

    I have a genuine question for those use it. What if your activity does not involve steps, like a fitness DVD with various exercises or strength training? If that was the bulk of your exercise would it still be able to estimate calories accurately? And what advantages does it have over a phone app?

    You have to log other exercises, which you can do on the fitbit website. As far as estimating calories accurately, I don't know. It seemed to match rather closely with estimates I found on other website. Fitbit also has a phone app to sync with your bluetooth phone, but it's not as in depth as their website. It will give you the basic info on your steps, calories burned, sleep activity, etc, but you get a lot more detail on their website.

    YES YES YES. it is worth it. I got mine June 2013 and I never realized how little I was moving 2-3 k on weekends and maybe 5k at work now I'm aware of how much I move. I am a numbers person so I'm trying to better the previous days steps or the week before. I have the zip and have lost it but customer service replaced it for me make sure you keep your receipt. In the time I didn't have my zip I felt so lost

    I love mine and never regretted the purchase.
