This has probably been asked a few times, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on apps or better yet, devices to wear around all day. I've been looking into the FitBit's recently. I really like the sleek, cute design of them.
Thanks a bunch! :#

    I have several different models of the FitBit & I LOVE them! It's a great tool to keep you motivated to move more :)

    I bought a Garmin Vivoactive a few months ago. Love it! My second fitness tracker. Here's a website with lots of reviews so you can get a good feel for what's out there and figure out what features you want.

    I love my Fitbit activity tracker. It calculates my TDEE, and syncs with MFP. Fitbit challenges are great motivation—and fun.

    Love my FitBit HR and the challenges you can enter in, to ensure you get your steps all in daily, and it logs my sleep too. Love the breakdowns of my day/weeks/month etc

    Thank you! Do you have a specific model that you love more than the others!?

    Perfect, thank you!
    I will have to check out the group. I still haven't figured out how to work my way around 'the community' yet, haha.

    I forgot about the sleep tracking! I have a hard time getting real sleep, so maybe the FitBit would help me figure it out! I like how some of the devices can sync with MFP. Makes things so easy, haha. Thank you so much!

    Which Fitbit you choose is entirely a matter of personal preference. They all calculate your TDEE & sync with MFP: https://www.fitbit.com/compare

    Zip doesn't track sleep. Only Charge HR and Surge are heart rate monitors. And Charge is only US$20 less than Charge HR, but has a clasp rather than a secure buckle. Not worth it!
