    Is it really making a difference in your weight loss? I'm deciding if I should get one or if it is just a waste of money

    I think it is a good tool but there are many activities that you have to manually add such as biking or weight training that Fitbit does not track. Mine does not track steps that great but it is nice to have

    I think it's a good tool. I have the HR. I am a very visual person. I like seeing where I am through the day, as far as steps, heart rate etc... I think it's a good investment!

    I have a flex, it only tracks my steps really. It gives me a calorie burn but I'm not 100% sure how it comes up with that. I'd love to upgrade to a charge HR but haven't yet.

    I have a flex and I really like it. I would love the hr but for now this has worked. Like others say the flex only does steps but that's OK because between the flex and mfp I can track pretty much anything.

    I have the charge Hr, got it for Christmas and I'm really enjoying using it, I like the way that I can see how my heart rate changed in my workout. I find that checking it every so often motivates me to make better decisions in my daily routine which will help my weightloss. I don't think the food tracking of fit bit is as user friendly as the Mfp one, so I am using Mfp for all my food tracking still.

    Question for you guys, does the Fitbit only work with a phone? I have an ancient computer and a Windows tablet, and I don't want to waste money on one if it won't work with any of my electronics. :neutral:

    No. It works for phones, android devices and a computer. You can download the Fitbit program to your comp.

    I got a Fitbit Charge HR as a present for myself in early November because of a really good checkup with the doctor. I started at 250 in early March and just hit 173.2 (healthy BMI) this weekend. The Charge HR is really motivating me to keep my step count up (over 20K steps a day this month so far). I'm going to incorporate resistance training as soon as I have recovered from an injury.

    It really depends on the user. Some people are motivated by more data, and for some it doesn't make any difference. I like it because I can see in black and white exactly what I'm doing.
