i love mine, but it is just like anything else, only you can do it. I find that I am motivated to log steps and even do stairs to get the floors in. I like knowing how I sleep and seeing the times that I am active. I have mine linked with MFP so my food logs into fitbit and it updates all day.0

I really like mine. I wear it everyday and feel naked without it now. It does motivate me to move more and take the stairs sometimes0

I love it. It motivates me to move more. It can be frustrating sometimes when the company is having bug issues they are trying to work out like recently.
But I wouldn't give it up. I am addicted to it now.0 -
Love it! Ditto, it motivates me to keep moving and meet my goals! I have it linked to MFP and Endomondo ... nice little tool!0

My husband and I LOVE ours, and rarely are without them clipped on. Our's are linked to MFP as well. Makes it easy!0

Only had it for a couple weeks and I am totally addicted!0

I have had mine since Feb and have loved it and still wear it daily to take my steps. However now that I am fitter, or maybe always (not sure) I have an Polar HRM and that shows me that my cals were over estimated by the FitBit. So I no longer sync it with MFP, but use the HRM to record my cals burned as I believe that is way more accurate than the FitBit. But for 5 mths it was great and likely somewhat accurate on the cals. Its a good motivator for me as if I see I have not made my 10K steps then I get out and walk in the evenings to get it done. I usually walk 3.5 miles in the mornings, but then my job is sedentary so sometimes I do not make 10K unless I walk again in the evenings or during the lunch hour.0

It's a tool. So it depends on how you use it. But I think the main benefit of it is that it's a great motivator. You tend to move when you otherwise would not. So sans all the other features, that alone makes it worth the cost in my opinion. Otherwise, it's just an expensive pedometer. The sleep tracking does not work at all for me. Moreover, I don't need it for that.0

I like mine, but the mf-er will not sync for the life of me!! Any suggestions?0

i love seeing the lifetime steps. my family recently went to disney world for 6 days, we walked 47 miles in those 6 days according to fitbit.com. can you believe that? (we did a lot in disney, we woke up at 6am every day and didnt get home til the parks closed, good thing my step son is 11 and able to handle all of that walking). i got 25k badges just about every day that week.0

And I love mine too ....... only had it since Tuesday but I'm using it all the time.0

^^ This! I panic a little bit if I forget to put it on, haha. I also like that they email celebrating when you hit milestones.0 -

Check the trouble shooter on their web site. They have good suggestions, or contact them directly. They will walk you through it. They are really good.0 -
I just got mine today so i'm really just learning how it all works at the moment but i'm really excited about it. I've been wearing it this afternoon and have noticed myself going up the stairs more- just to get the floors up lol.0

if your fitbit wont sync after you set it up, make sure that your base is plugged into your computer, you still need it to upload through fitbit.com in order to show up on MFP.
mine was fairly simple to set up.
also to see your steps taken go to the home tab and then click on check in. and it should be under the measurements where your steps show up. sleep shows up in there too (i do not track my sleep since i have to search for my fitbit in the morning, now i just leave it on my sink in my bathroom).0 -
Love it! Gives me a kick in the pants to get moving! Especially on weekends!0
-
I have only had mine for 3 days and I love it - same as Joannie30 I went and climbed more stairs to get the numbers up to win teh next badge :laugh: - it is good to see how active or not you are across the day.0

Enjoy!!0 -
Love mine - also want to mention that they provide the BEST customer service - would highly recommend!0

To link your fitbit and MFP go to tools(MFP) and click on the link to fitbit "learn more". You have to log your food on MFP and it will move onto the fitbit site by itself. Sometimes it takes a while, but it does. Then you can look at the weekly reports on exercise and food.0

I don't know how to "quote" on here, apparently. Anyway, I DID follow the troubleshooting steps (to no avail) and then emailed them. Sent email about a week ago, and no response whatsoever.0
