    It is motivation to keep moving. When you see a number, you want to keep making it higher. As a result I have been much more active

    I LOVE my fit bit for the motivation to move that it provides me. I had the ultra for several months before purchasing the fitbit one. I like the one because its can sync to my iphone making things easier when traveling.

    Yes! I prefer my bodymedia armband but I still love my fitbit and their customer service is AMAZING. if anything goes wrong at ALL just email support@fitbit.com. they've replaced my fitbit 3 times so far (all broken because of something stupid I did - dropping in the toilet, roller derby, and walking into the atlantic ocean with my clothes on.) this last time they upgraded me to a One for FREE from the Ultra. AMAZING. love them. makes me want to work for them! hahaha

    Mine broke after 3 months and I have been waiting for 3 months for the replacement. My experience has not been a good one, not worth the money.

    I have the Ultra, and I bought it back in September. It's AMAZING. I've had NO issues with it and I LOVE it. It's a great motivational tool and helps me work harder to be more active!

    I have only had mine a few days so I am still working all the kinks out but I love it. I really enjoy using it to see my distance for running. I am training for a 15K and it makes me want to push further because I want to hit my goals everyday!!! Plus it syncs pretty well to MFP and their is a great community once you sign up!

    I love my fit bit. I really like that I can look at how active I was and to see how many steps I have taken. Makes it easier for me to know that I still have to walk after work instead of just sitting in front of the tv. I am one of those people who need a visual to know what I still need to do. Look at all of your options and see what each one does and then decide what you want. Good luck and happy life style change!

    I am on the 5th day with my Fitbit Zip and loving it. I catch myself "bumping the numbers" walking around the house while waiting for the kettle to boil, around the parking lot waiting for my ride, I find it more motivational that the regular pedometer I used previously.

    I love my fitbit. I thought it was well worth the money and has been working fine since I purchased it in August.

    I just ordered the Fitbit One today and hopefully it will be here by mid-week. I've seen a lot more positives about them then negatives from reading all over the internet. I've had my HRM for 10 months and am very anxious to use something new!
