FitBit Opinions Please....

I love my Fitbit. I have a Zip, which doesn't have all the neat features of the Flex or One, but it is also the cheaper one. I got mine April 26 as a present from my Hubby and have yet to go a day without wearing it.

Nothing is going to be 100% accurate, but I also feel that my Zip is pretty close to accurate for my normal day to day activity. I still use my cheap Pyle HRM for some cardio workouts that it isn't well suited for.

Overall this is what has happened since I've had it:



According to the Calorie Burn vs Calories Eaten that the fitbit has recorded, I should have only lost 2.3lbs since April 26. As you can see though, I have actually lost 6.1lbs since I started using it.

edit: It has also encouraged me to get up and move more. I'm not very active person and really need to work on improving that.

I have the Fitbit One and love it. The iPhone app is having some problems after the last update and now I can't sync it til I get home in the evening. Just a bit annoying, but the website and the app are both free.

I don't have one but am considering getting one. I've talked to several people that love theirs. I think I read that it works with myfitnesspal. I don't have an iPhone and I'm not sure it works with Andriod smart phones. I love using a pedometer and the Fitbit seems to have even more options to it.

I have the Ultra (wanting to upgrade to the One LOL) and LOVE IT!!!

A little about me ... I'm crazy competitive - even with myself - so it keeps me motivated. And my 7 year old daughter always asks "is your flower growing" without even realizing that she is challenging me to be more active! :flowerforyou:

I am on my 3rd Ultra. I lost the first one, drowned the 2nd. I love it it helps to keep me motivated to move. My button on this one has quit working and they are sending me a replacement.

Loveeee it! So great with helping you know how much more you need to push yourself or how much less you need to eat.

I have a Fitbit One. I love this darn little thing! It syncs with Myfitnesspal along with MANY other applications. You can sync it with Iphone or Samsung GalaxyS3 (which is what I have) I found that it is accurate as much as anything else could be. I wear mine 24x7. I have a Garmin HRM but I tend to not wear it anymore... but then again I don't eat back my calories so I just want to make sure I hit a certain number burned and if I do that then I am ok. If I burn more then I'm still ok. I love that it tracks flights of steps, sleep, calories and just regular steps as well. I recomend getting one!!! They are awesome!

I love my fitbit. Like others have said- it has changed my life. I have lost over 50 lbs since I got it for Christmas, and am moving now more than I have EVER in my life. Am learning that being fit is not limited to gym time.

I have the older "Ultra" and as much as I didn't think I used or cared about mine, I found that I do use it more than I expected.

But it all depends on what you expect out of it? It's a great pedometer, a useful tool to see how much movement you do in a day, guess it might help track sleeping patterns (mine would NEVER work that way). It's doesn't do that great with some types of exercise (like weight lifting - but that's what a Heart Rate Monitor is for) but all in all it's a neat "tool".

I unlinked mine from MFP when they (MFP) changed the way the FitBit recorded its info here on the site. I've read that they (MFP) have improved the tracking & method/calculation for the info from the FitBit....

I sure hope so.

I just purchased the Flex - I almost lost my Ultra 3 times this weekend and since I moved my "computer" room to the other end of the house, I only "sync" my Ultra like twice a week - I want/need more than this.

BUT This is the last "health gadget" I plan on buying - it's getting too $$$$$$$$$$

All the positives you've already read are things I'd be saying too. Huge motivator, it!!!

I have the regular fitbit. maybe it's the ONE? Actually it might be the ultra., it's just the older version. I"ve had it for way over a year. I guess I've become somewhat addicted to it. It keeps me on track. I totally bum out if for some reason I forget it.

I don't use it for sleep time. It is nice that it syncs itself and also to the MFP site. If I earn calories - it shows up on the MFP site and I don't have to do anything other than to keep track of my intake.

I have a HRM, but I never use it since I got the fitbit. I highly recommend the fitbit. little bit pricey, but worth it - at least for me.

I have had a FitBit One since Christmas and love it. It keeps me moving more than I would normally have been and, like MFP keeps me mindful of my eating habits, the FitBit keeps me mindful of my movement habits. It's pretty accurate for me.

I will disagree with one thing, though: It is an activity tracker, not just a pedometer. You can input other activities in a manner similar to that of MFP. Any activities (rather, the calories burned, etc) you input in FitBit will sync with MFP. It is also set up to track other measurements (like BP, Blood glucose levels, etc).

I have had a Fitbit Zip since the middle of January and I love it. I also use Runkeeper to track running and walking and the Fitbit is pretty accurate. I think it was well worth the money and I would not hesitate to get another one.

My husband and I just bought ours yesterday. We got the Fitbit One. I love it! I just tested its accuracy and so far it is very, very accurate! I love the app that goes with it too. It's very motivating to see actual numbers. I highly recommend it.

I have the fitbit one and I love it! I have had it probably 2 weeks and I learn something new every day with it. It syncs w/MFP also and is so small that I never know it's there. The silent alarm is an awesome feature also!!! Keeps from waking my BF when I get up at 4 a.m. to workout! I can't imagine not having one!
