anyone else using this?
I love mine... had 3 great weeks with it!
I chose it over Fitbit, which charges you monthly for use...

    Fitbit does not charge its users a monthly fee.

    ^ This is correct.

    I've been using my Fitbit for free for at least two years now. The one that charges a fee is the BodyMedia band. Now there is a Fitbit Premium service (http://www.fitbit.com/premium/about) but in conjunction with MFP it isn't necessary imo.

    Ah... the premium service... that explains it..
    thanks!
    Love my Withings Pulse anyway!
    Tracks activity, sleep, oximetry, pulse and more.
    I also have the scale which synchs with MFP and also does BMI...

    I've heard some good things about Withings. I'm glad you are enjoying it!

    It wasn't around (or I hadn't heard about it when I got my Fitbit) but it sounds like the two services do pretty much the exact same thing. I went and got the Fitbit Aria scale as well, which I had been wanting for over a year now, just a couple of days ago. Not sure how exact the Body Fat % is but it is spitting out about the same number the $5000 Tanita scale at my gym told me.

    I'm am glad that there are always choices out there! :)

    I just started using the withings pulse and scale...love it really helps to motivate me. Although now I find myself wanting to use Fitstar too since it auto syncs with MFP, but it is only for IOS users!!
