Hello,
I'm back again... 14 lbs heavier than I was last time I said hello... maybe 6 months ago.

My fitbit died and I want to look into a new tracker as I start "anew"

Any ideas for a good one.. I'd really like one that said, "Get off your fat butt, woman.. go out for a walk." every time I decided to walk to the candy drawer.

Here's my current excuse... went from a walking around job to a sitting on my fat butt job... So I need a nanny tracker to remind me to take a walk.

My banner once said "60 lbs lost" ... now it does not.. sigh BUT here I go again.

    Welcome back. I use a fitbit and like it. It only nags if you look at it though!

    I love my Fitbit One. I've had it a year and it's going strong. I recently bought my son a Fitbit Flex (he loves it) and they now make the Force which displays stats on the wristband itself.

    i use omron walking style 3-i think its pretty accurate . Each day it does seem to give me reliable results-when i havent moved much and have been sitting in uni all day it says ive only done around 2000-4000 steps and when i walk later in the evening it seems to give me the right distance pretty much. This one you put in your height, weight and stride length and you can carry it in your pocket and it still works fine( no annoying clips that drop off). Ive tried a few other pedometres before and they were very inaccurate but so far this one seems good :)

    i use shealth on my android phone...it seems farely accurate, I just wish it was compatible with myfitnesspal so I didnt have to put it in manually.

    I have a fitbit one. Started with the Ultra, which failed under warranty and was replaced with the one. No issues so far, works great. I really like the weekly reports, that's what I use to calculate my TDEE and set my calories based on my average calorie burn.
