  • I continually say that I appreciate the advise given. I completely understand the way a calorie deficit works. 3500 calories = 1 pound. Of course I didn't lose 2.8 of fat but it jump started me.

  • I have a Jawbone and Fitbit One. The Fitbit is definitely a better product. There is a larger community base and the app with is better than the Jawbone. I would give Fitbit two thumbs up!
