who uses the fitbit tracker?

I am fairly new to MFP and saw the fitbit tracker in the tools. It is a bit expensive, and I was wondering if anyone has used it and does it help?

i have just bought one and I am currently on day 2 of using it so I cant give you a full review yet but I do know that it is very surprising how little I do during the day. The Fitbit gives me a little motivation to do stuff.

I was also wondering how well it works. It looks interesting.

I am also very new at the fitbit. I've had it three days. I found the exact opposite of the above poster. I was extremely surprised at the amount I move. I'd always thought of myself as very sedentary. Apparently not.

One piece of advice, it's an advanced pedometer, with a sleep tracker and an awesome website. View it as such and you'll know what you're getting into.
Having said that the info you can get on your activity levels is priceless.

I looked at it and it seemed interesting, but I went for a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) instead. I just wanted to log exercise rather than my movement all day (plus my HRM is more accurate & waterproof so I can use it swimming) x
