Sarah, I am going to join the chorus and wail "GET A FITBIT!" You won't be sorry. I did start with the Body Bugg and am on my second Fitbit and I LOVE it. There is no comparison. Most importantly - think about this. You continue to pay a monthly fee. Buy a Fitbit and you are done. NO fees at all. The money you save will pay for the Fitbit over time.

When I was "shopping" there were two things I remember being of most importance. That fee was one of them. The second is that Fitbit does not have a replaceable battery. When it dies, she's dead and needs to be replaced. My first Fitbit was more than 2 years old when I unfortunately washed and dried it on my pants. I killed her. My first Fitbit was the "ONE" and I loved it. I think it was $100. If she'd have lived a normal lifespan it was worth more than $33 a year (and I would have spent more than that just maintaining Body Bugg.) My second Fitbit is the "FLEX." This one is worn on the wrist. It's a very small writstband. What I do like about it is the fact that it measures ALL activity. The "One" did not accurately capture my dragon boat paddling. It's VERY strenuous and I wanted credit for it! What I do no like about it is that you do not see "numbers." There are 5 little lights and when you check your progress it is broken down in quarters. My daily goal is 10,000 steps so each quarter for me is 2500. When I reach the first 2500 the first of the 5 lights comes on. When I reach 5000 the second light comes on and so forth. Dale has the "FORCE" (which has been replaced by Sheesh's "CHARGE." His is also a wrist band, but he does have the numbers for everything. I think if I was going to replace I would spend the extra money and get his.

If you'd like to send your cell phone number or email, I'd be happy to show you what the reports look like. Also - you would LOVE the ability to chat back and forth continually and ADORE the challenges. I did not properly register myself for Kelly's challenge this weekend and almost cried yesterday when I realized it. Just trying to beat those fools, I walked 16,000+ steps yesterday. My Fitbit kept sending me the messages saying how good Cheryl was doing in the challenge!! Last time we did a challenge I was laughing out loud!! At one point in time I was out in front and came in. I had one shoe off when I got a message that Lois had passed me. I put that dang shoe right back on and went out again telling Dale "She passed me! She can't pass me without a fight!!!"

I also like how Fitbit sinc's with MyFitnessPal. I get to interact with Lois and Kelly there as well. Their support really helps me so much. It does make a difference to have that constant reinforcement.

I hope it works out for you!!
