    I don't have an answer, but I'm kind of wondering this too! I just got a heart rate monitor and I really love it (turns out I was way underestimating calories burned...). But I still want a fitbit, but it seems a little indulgent. Maybe for my next big weightloss number I hit :)

    Bumping myself....I really would like some thoughts on this. I know it's probably been debated and talked about before so I am sorry if it's annoying.:flowerforyou: :blushing:

    Bump bump bump!

    I have a fitbit and I want a HRM. Mainly because its more thorough and i'm a tech geek. I'm debating whether or not to just stick with the fitbit or get both. I don't want to turn into a robot but how fantastic would it be to have both~

    I love the FB because it syncs with MFP. Love it. But i'm sure its missing lots o calories burned.

    Decisions decisions.

    I have both. I like the HRM for my workouts (I did the 30DS and now am almost done with the Ripped in 30). Those activities are not accurate on the fitbit. I love the fitbit because I don't have to wear my HRM while out for a walk. It also adds in calories when I am more active on a certain day! Love that!

    I wear my Bodymedia FIT all day, and my HRM during exercise and working out. Personally, I love having the data so don't see it as overkill. I also believe that both have been a BIG part of my success.
