    I love my fitbit because it keeps me motivated and is much more accurate than the cheapies I've had in the past. I have it linked to MFP but haven't really been able to figure out the negative adjustments. That is relatively new (new since I was on MFP last go round). I walk and exercise but it often doesn't tell me my extra calories till very late in the day. I'm not sure I like that aspect of the system. But the fitbit is well worth the money.

    I compared mine over a 24hour period with my Heart Rate monitor and there was only 60 cals difference between them, so over all pretty accurate I would say.

    Why would you wear a heart rate monitor for 24 hours?

    A FitBit is an activity tracker.....it counts steps. If wearing a FitBit motivates you to move more....it's done it's job. If you're not sure of your activity level, this will help.

    A heart rate monitor is used to guage calorie burns for steady state cardio (not strength training....not sitting in a chair). HRMs with a chest strap measure electric impulses (your heart rate) and compare that to your resting heart rate. This is difference is exertion level.
