I use a fitbit and have it synced to MFP.0

Which Fitbit and how long have you used it?0

I've got a fitbit zip. The only exercise I do is walking, so I don't need the fancy Heart Rate Monitor devices. I've had it since March 2015, I wear it every second of the day, except for the shower and bed.
I rely on it so much, I would never ever be without it now.0 -
I use Jawbone Up. The app syncs to MFP and I wear it all the time even when I am sleeping.0

I started out using MFP's activities. I know have a Garmin 920xt which also counts steps to add to my daily activity.
I've been successful using both.
I originally lost my weight with MFP's numbers (then got pregnant).
Here is a good blog to help decide
