Any Fitbit users out there?

My husband got the flex one and lost interest so I have his atm! I usually exceed the exercise and it gives me a ridiculously high amount of calories to aim for so I'm a bit concerned that it might be overestimating. The sleep feature is interesting to see how restless you were, and the vibrating alarm is good for waking you up in the morning- if you are in a restless part of your sleep cyclle where it's easiest to wake up shortly before your alarm is due to go off then it'll go off a bit earlier which is quite useful in theory- hasn't happened to me yet though!

I have the Fitbit Flex. I won it from a random drawing after participating in a health fair at work. I like the battery life on mine (I don't have it sync to my phone all the time, I do it manually about every 3 days). I normally only have to recharge about every 7 - 10 days and it only takes about 2 hours to recharge from my computer (less if I hook to the wall adapter I have). I like the visual of steps (illustrated by LEDs) but an actual counter would be nice without having to sync to see them. I like that I can put it on and leave it on. I normally take it off to shower, but you don't have to. The bands look a little dingy even if you clean them so I suggest buying a darker color. Mine is a slate blue/gray and I'd like a black one. It is comfortable to wear once you get used to the clasp. If you are carrying something and don't swing your arms much as you walk or if you are pushing a buggy,etc. I think it affects the accuracy of the step count. However, this is remedied by putting it in your pocket. That is the only really annoying thing I've had to learn to deal with is if I am pushing a buggy at Walmart and it is too far down on my wrist it picks up on the buggy vibration and sends itself into and out of sleep mode. It is nice to go through your day and then tap it and be greeted by 4 or 5 solid lights to show 8 - 10k steps. But it is disappointing to do that and only see 2 or 3 lights indicating 4 - 6k steps. I like it and may have bought one even if I didn't win one. Also - I don't link to MFP - I don't want it to add calories that I could eat - that doesn't work for me! Hope this helps!

I have one and love it! I've had it for a long time. Very addicted to it and getting my steps in. It keeps me accountable.

I have the Fitbit Flex and loved it until it died after 6 weeks...replacement is on its way.

I linked it to MFP and I make updates using my iPhone. I like how my activity is synced to MFP. I also track my calories on MFP. When I am over my calorie allotment, I force myself to work it off by walking/jogging off the extra calories.

My sister and mother also have Fitbit and we have "friend-ed" each other so we can see each other's progress. It's become a daily competition especially for my mom. So far, this has been the most motivation I've seen from her when it comes to her required daily activity. They've had their Fit bit since Christmas and wear it all the time.

I have co-workers who have it too, and lost interest after a month, while others continue to use it like myself. i suppose it depends if you're motivated by the information it tracks. We walk during lunch and it keeps us from "cheating" because we know exactly how many steps we've walked versus guessing the distance of our 30 minutes of walking. It also motivates us to challenge ourselves to increase the number of steps we cover in 30 minutes.

I have a One and love it. I feel naked without it.
