Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a FitBit and if it's any good or do you find it too sensitive? I don't want it thinking I'm walking when I'm driving for example!! Also has anyone used the sleep monitor feature and is that any good?

Thanks :-)

    I'm using one & I think it brill! It tracks calories burnt through food & activity, steps walked, floors climbed & logs your sleep patterns too. I don't leave home without mine firmly attached. It has a website that creates all kinds of charts and graphs when you sync your FB. It's just great fun too. Hope that helps.

    It's great, I love mine. Driving can be problematic as it does record steps - Fitbit suggest just recording a driving activity in your log on the website and it will subtract the steps but it's a little cumbersome and it still shows as steps on the device itself. The alternative is to remove it while driving which also does the trick but then I tend to leave it behind in the car!

    I actually have a FitBit that is still in the box, brand new. If you guys are interested in it, I am looking to sell it! Contact me if you are interested.

    Hi everyone, thankyou for your posts. The above blog was particularly useful along with the responses to the blog. I think I'll hold out buying one but might treat myself to a HRM as I think that may suit my requirements more.

    I do like the idea that it syncs automatically to a website but I think that would add more confusion to me when it syncs to MFP!

    I'll let you know what I decide to do!
