Do any of you have fitbit?

I think thats some type of wireless fitness tracker. No I use a simple Mio step counter. I am thinking of a New Balnce Via Mini to replace it.

Time to start thinking abount next month!

Wanted to pass along some good news. We had a pedometer challenge at work for the past 8 weeks. If a person walked 80,000 steps a week for 8 weeks, that person gets $100!

Well, thanks in part to this challenge I made my 8 weeks, 80,000+ steps and hopefully soon will be getting that money!! Losing weight was an added bonus, lol.

Do any of you have fitbit?

Yes, love mine. I pretty much wear it 24/7 (except for baths/showers). I used to use an Omron Pocket Pedometer and it worked fine, but it was bulkier and if I was wearing clothing that didn't have a waistband (like a dress) then it didn't fit comfortably in my bra and also the Omron didn't count the steps right in my bra. My Fitbit fits in the bra easily and still counts steps accurately. Even if I'm wearing it on my waistband it is less noticeable since it is smaller/lighter.

Also, the Fit Bit has the ability to estimate your daily calorie expenditure. You would think it wouldn't be that accurate since it doesn't have a heart rate monitor, but other folks who have a Body Bugg say it isn't that far off. Also, I can tell you from experience that if I'm comparing calories consumed to calories burned (using Fit Bit's numbers) that about the time I've built up a 3500 calorie deficit for a 1 lb loss that it works out about right on the scale. So it must be estimating fairly accurately.

The newest model the Fit Bit Ultra (the one I have) can also count flights of stairs climbed. It can't pick it up if you are using a stairclimber machine or an incline on a treadmill, only actual stairs/hills, but it is a nifty feature.

You can wear it on an included wristband at night to track your sleep. It will tell you how many times a night you woke up and the number of hours you were actually asleep. That may or may not be useful to you.

Their website for food tracking is not nearly as good as MFP. However, in the near future they are supposed to release an app to sync MFP with Fit Bit. In the meantime I've been tracking my food on MFP and just entering my calories into Fit Bit's website.

I do not have the Premium membership to Fit Bit, just the free basic membership. I really haven't seen any need to upgrade. I think it is around $50/year though if you want it.

You have been doing great on the step challenge. Glad it paid off
