Fitbit

I've only had mine a week, but I really like it. I like knowing my step count, how many calories I've burned, it syncs with my fitness pal, and I like the sleep function. The only real con so far is the cost. It motivates me to walk more and get more exercise. It's supposed to stay charged for a week, but mine doesn't last quite that long. Hope that helps.

Mine was a gift...and I am very pleased with the functions....the motivation to not stop walking or stair climbing until you hit your goals, the calorie burn counter....All in all it is a great tool for weight loss for life.
I certainly did not realize how inactive I was prior to the 1st day I sinc'd it with MFP...

Was easily hooked up and ready to use almost immediately...

My only warning is it is addictive...

I've had mine about 2 months. I like it but I haven't really used it lately. I wish it was waterproof as I do water aerobics. I check it often because it occasionally gives me phantom steps for driving and things like that. Also the MFP sync is a blessing a curse as I'm not exactly sure how the adjustment numbers are calculated. It was giving me some pretty big adjustments on days I wasn't even wearing it. I'm talking adjustments of like 700-800 calories and its been sitting on my desk 24 hours plus. I rest it, unsynced and resynced it and that seems to have corrected the problem.

Pros - It tells you how many steps, flights of stairs, and distance you go. You also have the time on it and if you get the ultra it will help track your sleep. I love my fitbit cause it will tell me how much activity I do at work since I can not guess appropriately. It is easy to use and can be hidden on a bra or in a pocket. It is pretty accurate for walking. I love seeing how much I move at night, I don't know why it interests me so much but I love checking it first thing in the morning. It has a website you can check on and its free, no charge later on.

Cons - It will not work for sedentary exercise. It does not work on heart rate but on movement so you will not get a 100% read on what you really burned. It is not water proof.

P.S I have had mine since February 2012

I have the Fitbit Ultra and I love it! It's sort of depressing that I never realized how little I moved on a normal day.

Pros:
-Very small, about the size of a jump drive
-Truly motivates you to move more
-Free website, somewhat similar to MFP but a little more complicated

Cons:
- Hard to see the display in the sun
- Doesn't sync wirelessly (base station has to be plugged into a computer)
- Website profile/tracking is pretty complicated

Overall, I'm very happy with it!

Awesome - We can now get the Fitbit in Australia - the new ultra is coming out here end of the month and for only $120 - I have linked a page where you can buy if from on my facebook profile - Hopefully someone gets the hint & buys if for my upcoming birthday.

Has anyone used the Aria scales???

I love my fitbit! I have had it since June of this year. Love all the features. As for the Aria scale, I have one of those, too. I like them but they are overpriced. It's a regular scale with bluetooth. The scales have a hard time syncing sometimes. But I have found that they will eventually sync with the web site. Mine will sync at least once a week. I don't know why it doesn't sync every time I weigh??? I wrote customer service, and all they could tell me is that it will look for the signal until it finds it. Needless to say, I do like the Aria scale. I thought about returning them but decided to keep them. A little hint - they will eat your batteries up! Buy the rechargeable kind for this scale.

My scales synch by the time I walk from my bathroom to my computer everytime so far. Glad I haven't had that issue!

The Aria scales tell you body fat too which is nice and it's all on a graph on the fitbit site that you create an account with as well as all your fitbit ulta data.
