Hi myfitness family!! I'm overwhelmed with the different types of fitness monitoring systems out there. I'm just beginning my fitness journey and would like the help of a fitness monitor to help me keep track of calories out since I monitor my calories in with myfitnesspal. The bodybugg, fitbit, body media, polar watches...etc. I work in a warehouse and move around alot and alot of lifting so I want something that can track my activity and calories burned at work. I walk/jog/run after work so I need something that can track distance and calories burned and hopefully speed as well. I would like something that works all day and I can leave on. Which would suit me best? I know alot of people on myfitnesspal have different monitors so I know you are all the right ones to ask.
Thank you for any advice you have.

    I have an old Polar F4 from a while back and it still works like a charm!!!

    As far as tracking distance/time etc though. I use dailymile.com. It gives you a little map where can click your start and end points and it totals up your mileage, and then when you enter the total time you ran (which I get off my polar) it calculates your pace. It also tracks all your runs so you can go back and see what your longest ones were, or fastest, etc.

    I have a Bodymedia FIT and I love it. The longer you wear it the more accustomed it becomes to your body. It's roughly 93% accurate.
