    Here is a repost of a comment I made on another thread:

    My journey back into MFP started when my wife bought me a Jawbone UP24 for Father's Day. No matter what you get, having a fitness band is a great way to track your activity! I highly recommend getting one. The great thing about them is they interact directly with MFP and other apps: I record a workout in MapMyFitness, it syncs to MFP and my UP app, and done! My neighbor has a Fitbit and was jealous when I was showing him the app for it.

    A comment about my experience: My UP24 suddenly failed after a couple of months. They sent me a new one, and I hope it lasts. If you buy this one (which has a great app and what has been described as top-of-the-line sleep tracking) then I suggest you get a service plan. No fitness band is waterproof so this is very important for what you pay for. I am not a service plan kind of guy, but if I could do it over again I wouldn't hesitate; it's an expensive piece of hardware to have on your wrist.

    Personally, this thing changed my life and my thinking. I showed it to 2 other people over Labor Day and they have them now, too. I highly recommend you get a fitness band!

    I think I'm going to buy one! Isn't the Fitbit the one that gave everyone a rash?

    I've got a jawbone up 24 also, but I know many with Fitbit as well. Whatever your preference, I think you will enjoy it. I like the sleep tracker on jawbone. I love mine!

    Hi, what works best for syncing exercise? Do you log non-running exercise (eg. cycling) into MFP or the Jawbone app? Do they sync properly?

    Thanks

    I'd hold off for a bit, if I were you. Right now, the Jawbone UP24 isn't playing nicely with MFP. There are posts all over the support boards at Jawbone and here discussing it.

    Jawbone still seems to play well with Runkeeper, which plays well with MFP. I use Runkeeper for my outdoor exercise (running or walking) and Wahoo Fitness for my indoor exercise (strength training, elliptical, classes, etc.) because they synch with my heart rate monitor.

    Log food & drink in MFP. Do not log any step-based activity—UP tracks that for you. Log non-step exercise (like biking or swimming) in UP.

    Your UP total burn is your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)—way more accurate than any online calculator. If you eat less than your UP burn, you will lose weight.

    MFP has a Jawbone UP Bracelet group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/13420-jawbone-up-bracelet

    I got a Jawbone Up in August and had nothing but trouble with it for 3 months. It worked sporatically and I talked to tech support over and over with them giving me diagnostics and telling me I was doing something wrong.

    I tossed it aside for 2 months and then tried again, with no luck. Finally talked to tech support for about the 12th time and they decided the problem was a defective unit.

    So, now I'm waiting for a replacement. I'll let you know. I just want to use something until the Apple watch comes out.
