Fit Bit

My results come from how well I comply with staying under my calorie goal. The Fitbit provides lots of numbers and charts for me to geek out over. I only wanted a Bluetooth HRM, but I was sold on the Fitbit's Charge HR. I do like the data, but it pretty much just confirms what I already knew. Maybe there's been a little more accuracy, but not really enough to justify the purchase unless you also enjoy geeking out on the data. I guess it's also possible that the social aspects of the app will help motivate you, and that can't be a bad thing.

It is a glorified pedometer with social functions - some models also function as a HRM. You're ultimately going to have to decide for yourself whether you think it's worthwhile.

I have a fitbit surge and really like it. It gets me moving to achieve my minimum of 10,000 steps/day. And it syncs really nicely with MFP. Because of it, I've jumped on the treadmill or taken my dogs for really long walks where before I would of been content to curl up on the couch just. Definitely has gotten me more active than before.

But regardless, you have to be committed. I originally bought it Feb, wore it for a week, and then it sat for months before picking it up again and committing to be being more active.

It's a fun way to move- I have one, my family members all have one, my coworkers have one. So we compete with each other- the fit bit is what makes me get up and walk around, take the stairs, get on the treadmill, because I like to win- otherwise I don't hear the end of it. Lol.

Love mine so much. Definitely makes me move more and stops me from kidding myself about how many calories I've expended (and thus prevents me over eating!).

I have the Zip. Cheep end of the scale, but I like the extra data. I could do this without it, but I like the conformation that I'm doing it right. Of course, the scale is also telling me this!
