    Been using Fitbit for years. Never leave home without it, and if I do, I feel like I'm lost.

    BTW, a woman of your size will burn about 80-100 calories per hour, max, while jogging. 849 calories for a 6 mile jog is well outside that range.

    Do you mean per hour as that sounds really low? Should it be per mile?

    Yes, sorry! Per mile.

    I have both. I got the Polar FT4 to track my water exercises because the Fitbit One which is what I have isn't water safe. The Fitbit Flex is however. I do like the fact that the cardio machine at my local Y will sync with my HRM so no need to try to get the right grip on the machine to get my HR. However, I agree with the other I would get both if you can swing it.

    I have both the FitBit One and a Polar FT4. I don't use the HRM anymore because I was doubting it's accuracy. I understand that the One probably isn't very good for estimating with lifting so i just figure that if i go over my calories on lifting days, it ain't no thang.

    IF you wanted to see what some of the graphs and Fitbit Feedback looks like, I did a blog post that includes a lot of visuals showing exactly the kind of things you see after wearing a Fitbit. I've had one for years, my two oldest now have them, and I got both my parents on board ... we are a Fitbit family!
