What is the buzz about the "Fitbit Tracker"? Does anyone find this device to work as it is claiming to? How accurate do you feel it is? What is your experience with it? Is it worth the money? ...thanks:happy:

I posted something similar earlier today. I haven't gotten any response yet but I'm hoping to get info on any of the fitness gadgets out there. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.0

I love my Fitbit! I use it as a motivator to keep moving throughout the day. When I look at the graph of my stats, I don't want a big chunk of time classified as sedentary. It makes me push myself. Plus I like the calorie burn estimation so I know where I stand each day between calories burned and calories eaten. I log my food and my extra exercises on MFP and it transfers to the Fitbit site. Likewise, Fitbit sends an "adjustment" amount to MFP if you have kept active enough to have a calorie amount to transfer over to MFP, which in turns shows as more calories available to eat. So great that they are integrated to work together now. Just for a comparison, over 5 months before getting my Fibit, I lost 12 pounds. That's only about 2.5 pounds a month. I got the Fitbit in mid-November, and have lost 14 pounds since then, equaling 7 pounds a month. It made a big difference in my motivation, thus increasing my physical activity. I also love that it counts floors so I can challenge myself to adding extra stairs when I can. The step count is very accurate for me. As far as calories burned estimate, who really knows, but I think it's in the ballpark. Seems to be working fine for me since I'm having results. I love MFP and Fitbit together. Just ask if you think of specific questions I might be able to answer.0

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it! Have you had any problems syncing your computer and the Fitbit? I'm guessing that you are pleased with the $100 investment? Good job with the weight loss!!0

I haven't had any problems with it yet. Yes, very pleased with the investment. I know that because I've said all along that if I lost it, I'd buy another one immediately. That's how much I like it. Very motivating.0
