Hi I am looking into buying a FitBit but would like to get suggestions on which ones. What are the pros/cons for you owning a FitBit? I'm sort of new to working out and this sort of technology any advice will be more than greatly appreciated, thanks! :blush:

    I have a Fitbit flex and love it. It is a motivator for me. I can tell when I haven't moved enough and get up and do it! Also workweek challenges and weekend challenges are fun to see how much you can do against a group! It is fun.

    If you have 100lbs to lose, I think it's a great way to make sure you're meeting your goals. Personally, I don't find much use out of my fitbit, except for the nice buzzing alarm it has. I have the Charge HR.

    Haha, well hopefully if I get one I'll find much more use for it. It just seems like a great too for those looking to lose weight and keep track of their progress. Sorry your's hasn't been very useful for you I appreciate the honesty!

    Be aware that the FitBit can cause rashes/burned like skin. I have one and I have the burned like skin. I have to take it off when I go to bed, clean it and my wrist really well. Also, I have the Surge, and you cannot use it in water, for swimming. If you bike, it does not record your exercise. I still like mine. There is nothing like, at the end of the day, getting the 10,000 step buzz.
