Fitbit

I am in love with mine. Literally we have our own little relationship. It gives me encouraging little messages...keeps me moving..what's not to love ?

the new fitbit one is out or is coming out. I have the ULTRA and have no intention of trading up. The only benefit from the "one" that I can see is that it will sync to a bluetooth and your phone. The ULTRA syncs to the computer and I hate bluetooths and don't need anything else going to my phone..so I'm good.

The only thing that bothers me about wearing mine is when I take it off and forget to put it back on. It is addictive and my husband and I are in major competition to see who can get more steps. One day I had more than him and he walked around his office on a conference call to try to out do me. Its funny.

Its really hard to justify not going for a walk or moving my body when my fitbit tells me I have only gone .46 miles that day. It really makes us aware of how much we are moving our body.

I highly recommend them.

i have one and i love it. i usually keep it attached at the pocket. i have gotten in the habit of checking my pants before i wash them because i am so paranoid i am gonna forget it and wash it. i like being able to see when and how active i was in a day.

I absolutely LOVE my fitbit. I have the ultra and wear is in the front of my bra and can't tell it is there unless I do a "fitbit check". I find it to be a great motivator to keep my activity levels up.

There is an new version coming on in Oct that has an improved clip and bluetooth syncing. I plan to upgrade. I travel frequently on the weekends and don't always want to lug my laptop so I can sync.

You will find yoursel doing weird things like parking far away from a store entrance just to log more steps or taking a differnt route to get places to walk up an extra set of stairs.

The Fitbit has been a game changer for me! I find it to be the most motivating piece of technology I have ever found. I wear it all the time and so can you! It is small and can be worn in your pocket or on your bra at center stage.

I bought mine on July 17th and made a commitment of 10,000 steps per day beginning July 18th. Since that day I have averaged 15,000 steps per day and I have averaged 55 miles per week. I have walked 480 miles since that day and my fitness has improved at every level.

I get up very early in the morning to do my daily five mile walk and then whatever other walking I do during the day is icing on my fitness cake.

I realize that my personal motivation was there and I cannot attribute all that I have done to technology but I can say that having the Fitbit on my person 24/7 is a constant reminder and a great assistant motivator for me. The new Fitbit One that has just come out has two big improvement in it over the Fitbit Ultra that I own. It is water resistant (something you will appreciate if you sweat a lot or get caught in the rain) and it has blue-tooth connectivity that can work with your phone.

I recommend it in the highest! Good luck!

I've had mine (the ultra) since jan or feb and I LOVE IT!! I feel naked without it! Its a great motivator and always a great reminder of how much I DONT do somedays! and I love how it "talks" to me, sometimes it says some pretty funny stuff! It seems to be very accurate and it is completely worth the $100, especially since shipping is free and you dont have to pay a monthly fee for the website to use it!! That's what mostly sold me on it. I dont track my sleep on it much anymore, but it is interesting to see how many times a night I wake up, usually 6-9 times. I really need to put a label or white marker on it with my phone number tho cuz I would be so sad if I lost it, and I've had a couple scares! lol Get one, you'll love it! and it links with MFP which is even better!

Just looked it up. It shall be mine.

I realize that it seems to be just a fancy $100 pedometer, but I really really want one. I just keep waiting until I can figure out how to budget an extra $100.

I LOVE my Fitbit. Yes some people think it is a fancy pedometer & everyone is welcome to their own opinion - but I think it is so much more. With the Fitbit, you don't have to continue to spend money on batteries (like with a pedometer) & just put it on its charger while you check in with MFP everyday. That alone, makes the cost of buying a Fitbit worth it.
I find it easiest to clip it to the center of my bra & forget about it. I hate to say that have also run it through the washing machine still clipped to my bra (DO NOT DO THIS) & was very happy that it still worked.

But it also tells you how many calories you burn through out the day, right? I mean, is it not really THAT accurate for that purpose? Because that would be the #1 reason I want to buy it.
