Is anyone using the fitbit or another device to track progress throughout the day and sleep?

    I have a fitbit. I have the zip which doesn't track sleep. I use it pretty much everyday, but I don't hit my goals everyday. Working on that. Sometimes though, I'd rather swim.

    Depends what you want to use it for.

    I love my FitBit. I love that it tracks my sleep, calories burned, active minutes, etc. I have heard that for best accuracy you need a HRM (heart rate monitor). MFP and FitBit seems a bit subjective on calories burned and won't work if you swim laps. HRM will be more accurate. But I love the ease of the FitBit (I have the Flex/bracelet), love trying to work towards the goal of 10,000 steps per day (it vibrates when you reach your goal), and the little Happy Faces you get when you log in to see what all you've accomplished on an active day! It's water resistant, but I still choose not to wear mine in the shower. I have heard good things about their customer service. Someone lost theirs, and they tried to track via GPS. When it wasn't found, FitBit replaced it at no cost. There's a few models to choose from, so you can decide how much you want to spend and how you want to wear it.
