I am thinking of purchasing a fitbit. I am wondering....does it really work accurately and is it worth the money??

    I love mine. I was never able to get an accurate reading from less expensive pedometers. It also calculates based on the data you give it what your overall calorie burn is throughout the day based on your level of movement. I will use an HRM for more strenuous exercise as I don't fully trust online estimate for calorie burns on exercise. It doesn't track exercise like cycling well as the body movements are different than walking/running and it doesn't like to get wet so no swimming with it on. I have gotten a better idea what my TDEE is by using it.

    There is also a "Fitbit Users" group here on MFP you might check out.
