Fitbit....yes or no?

Thanks everyone! From the research I did, it was the most bang for the buck....at $99.95 as opposed to close or over $200. I found them on Amazon for $96, and I got my hubby one too...blue for him, plum/pink for me ...and with free 2-day shipping (I'm a Prime member), I couldn't beat it!

I'll be sure to find the FitBit group on MFP and join the community on FitBit!

Right now, I have a pedometer from our last corporate fitness challenge (gadgets are cool, free gadgets are even better) that I wear everyday. I've been considering the Fitbit and trying to determine how much more info it captures than the pedometer. From what I'm seeing, it has the same limitations as my pedometer (i.e. strength training, cardio, etc. that doesn't result in walking/jogging movements may not be tracked accurately) and the only additional info it captures is quality of sleep.

Am I missing something here? I'm on the fence.

Hi, my name also Susie (or Sue, or Susan) and I also am a total gadget junkie!

I have a Fitbit and a Polar FT4. I use the FB for regular daily activities and the HRM for my "real" exercise. Those two gadgets used together have been awesome for letting me get a real feel for my TDEE and get my calorie goals set where they need to be.

I ordered one last weekend and can't wait to get it now! Stupid mail service takes forever! (I am not very patient)
