Fitbit is going to replace my tracker. I'm looking forward to receiving the replacement, I was amazed how much I was depending on it to track my activities in such a short time of ownership. I am hoping that my problem is not wide spread. I will continue to post my experiences here in the event anyone is interested.

It was expensive but I can totally see me using it for life or until it needs replacing :-) It is on the spot motivation to move regardless of how I choose to move. I see a definate pattern to my daily activities and am able to make the adjustments I need in order to stay within my daily caloric goals. I noticed that when I played golf that only my steps and elevation changes were recorded and I had to manually enter that I rode in a cart and how long I played in order for MFP to reflect calories earned. But that's not a deal breaker Now that I know, I'll be more aware of what is just steps and what is activity that includes walking as a part of the whole. Also, strenght training is not reported by the fitbit. I'm still not sure how it or if it is reflected on MFP. I enter it manually on fitbit.com and can see progress in the reports area. I even smile when the message says "get moving Deb-Deb", because I know for the time of day I am not on target for my daily goal. But the best message is "High-five" when I have had a great workout.
