Tell me about the fitbit. I'm thinking of getting it and wanted to hear feedback from other MFP people! I know it doesn't have a HRM with it so the calories burned is just an estimation, how do you feel about that? If it tracks calories just by steps, what if I'm doing something like a Xbox Kinect Dance Game or sit-ups. Is is just primarily for walking/running?

It seems like a neat option instead of the Bodybugg. Thanks!

    I'm on day 2 with mine and I'm enjoying it. But I'm a newbie.

    It's a glorified pedometer. It counts steps, stairs, calories, and it analyzes your sleep patterns. Their website can track food as well. It syncs with MFP and Endomondo if you run.

    There is a "premium" section for $50 per year that will give detailed reports and offers up a trainer option. (I'd like to get some opinions on the premium option)

    I thought about Fitbit but because it doesn't have a hrm and I've heard several people say they ruined their's with sweat/water I opted for a Polar FT4 because it has a hrm, it's waterproof, and cheaper lol
