Fitbit Flex vs. Zip
I'm investing in one of these this weekend. I'm looking for "real people" reviews, pros cons on each device, etc. I'm not sure which would be better for me too. I'm not extremely active, but I do walk often. I have a desk job in healthcare. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Got a gym membership...
Now I have to get out of my own mental way to get there. :( I know I'll be happier if I go. I know I'll have more energy if I go. I know I'll be proud of myself if I go. I've set my alarm two mornings now for 5:30 AM and totally talked myself out of it. Anyone else ever been where I am? How'd you "get over it"? TIA
