FitBit or BodyMedia Link?

lydiadownes

For those people that have a fitbit and use MFP, how do yo record your exercise? I have been using MFP for a few months now and I do a lot of dog walking which I used to input straight into MFP. I brought the fitbit last week and now use the stopwatch on the fitbit to record my exercise and then sync it straight into MFP? Am I doing it right? I am finding the fitbit a little confusing to get my head round but think it is just teething problems.

I don't think you have to use the stop watch, unless you want to know how much you burn during a specific period of time. The fitbit automatically knows when you are being more active.

I have had my BodyMedia Link for a month now and LOVE it!!! I don't even notice I am wearing it. When I first started wearing it to work, I did get alot of questions (3 co-workers now want to get them) and have only had 2 strangers ask me what it was. I had not lost any weight between May and August 17 (when I bought it)since then I have lost almost 6 pounds! I cannot say enough good things about it! I did try to get a FItBit in the beginning of the year but it would not sync up to any computer I had, either at home or at work so I returned it!

have you seen the new Fitbit One that they just came out with this week? Water Resistant and bluetooth sync via smartphone...

I can't say anything about the bodymedia, but the fitbit is great and they really stand behind it. The customer service is really good.
