Time to buy another tracker. Nothing that clips on you because i dont want to lose it again Just like i lost my fitbit ZIP.. So i guess one that needs to be worn on your wrist. That also counts calories burned accurately.. Any Suggestions?

How accurate do you want to be?
Do you want to track cals all day, or only doing workouts?0 -
I love my bodymedia fit device. It is worn on left tricep. It calculates calories, steps, moderate/vigorous exercise time and sleep. It synchs with mfp for nutritional tracking. It has helped me immensely to understand what my body is really doing. It's the same type of device they use on the weight loss shows. It's tested and shows to be 90% accurate. It uses your heart rate not the pedometer to calculate cal burn. Some wrist devices use the pedometer to calculate which isn't as accurate.0

For workouts... a typical HRM will likely be your best bet. Accuracy is kind of all over the board, but from what I've read the new garmins are using the most "advanced" formulas for estimating.
Anythign from Garmin, Suunto or Polar will be good, just find the one that has the features/options you want.
For all day, something like a fitbit, or bodymedia will work. They are geared more for NEAT estimates rather than exercise, but can be useful when viewed correctly.0 -
