I've got a few friends with the app, but I noticed they don't use it much anymore. I have nobody to challenge and no motivation to get steps in. Anyone out there interested in friending me on Fitbit for some motivation?

    I will hijack (and bump) your thread to ask if anyone has opinions about which one is the best value for money. There are a lot of different kinds of Fitbits!

    Add me: //www.fitbit.com/user/4GVHFV ! I have the fitbit Charge HR, I really like it. I don't need all the things the newer ones can do and it's pretty tough. The Fitbit website quizzes you on your needs and goals to find which one you'd like most.

    I only have the Fitbit One, so I can't speak for the other models, but I really love it. I've found it to be completely accurate for me.

    I have the flex. I really like it. I completely abuse mine (shower, taken into the ocean several times, etc.) and its still running perfectly after 2 years. I've worn through some bands and chargers over the year, but the expensive part works great. I love being able to change the bands! I am a pretty low tech person, so the basic one works for me.

    I have both the Charge HR and the Flex.

    The Charge HR is my daily band and it has everything I need. I have the Flex only because that the first tracker I purchased, but like Aliem, I use it occasionally when I am going on vacations or festivals where there is a high likelihood that I will be covered in dirt or just running into the ocean or swimming pool (then I don't have to think about it).

    If you want to count more than just steps and sleep, go with a Charge or higher version (and wait a few weeks because the new version of Fitbit are coming out and they will include features not available to the previous generation of their wearables.

    I have the Charge HR and I love it. Price should be coming down because they just released the Charge 2. I've seen the HR on OfferUp for $50 recently. I needed a heart rate tracker because I play hockey and wanted a more accurate estimate of my calorie burn for that. I'm also looking for Fitbit friends!

    Thanks for the advice. I'm considering it as something for my husband to get me for Christmas, so won't be shopping right away - but it's good to know to wait.

    I have the Fitbit One as well and love it. I do not like "wearing" things on my wrist or ankle - I don't wear jewelry of any sort. The One is perfect as I can clip it to my bra or my pants pocket and not even notice it is there.

    I have a daily goal of 12,500 steps, 30 floors, 5.5 miles, and 45 mins of exercise minimum per day. I was out of commission for a while due to losing my fitbit in the laundry (oops) and forgetting it from time to time but I try to get my daily goals met on a regular basis.

    If anyone wants to friend me on Fitbit and do challenges, my user name is Karen R and here is my URL: https://www.fitbit.com/user/4DCYCZ (my middle name is Elizabeth which is where my MFP user name of wizzybeth comes from ha ha). Just tell me you're from MFP so I know why you want to be my friend. :smiley:

    If you're starting new, the new Charge 2 is really a terrific model. It has all the best features at a pretty decent price point.

    I only have the Fitbit One, so I can't speak for the other models, but I really love it. I've found it to be completely accurate for me.

    When I was researching wrist models on Amazon last year a lot of the reviews complained that whatever model was not as accurate as the One the reviewer used to have. That or it was irritating their wrist. So I got the One, and love it. I've temporarily lost it a few times, but have always found it.
