So I have recently been looking into pedometers to help with my excercise tracking. For a while I was looking at the Fitbit and just saw today that they are coming out with a new model that is Water resistant. I am contemplating buying it but have yet to use one.

The main concern I have is the accuracy. I don't always wear pants that have pockets or loops and saw that it can be worn at the center of the bra; which I think would be more comfortable since I put stuff in my bra all the time.

Has anyone used one clipped on the bra and how well does it work?

That is where mine lives most of the time. I love my fitbit, it got me walking the stairs at work. Before I never thought about stairs, then I gor this little device that gave me a badge at 10 flights, then 25, then 50. It's funny how a little thing like that gets you going. Lol

So it doesn't seem to not give you steps or add too many being clipped there?

I am large chested and I don't want my girls to give me more than I should; I want my steps to be honest. LoL.

No problems with accuracy. It's the same as in the pocket. Sometimes i clip it to my bra strap and it sits by my arm pit. It depends on what I'm wearing. I've never had any problems and I've had it about 4 months now.

Thanks! I cannot wait to get one. I am going to order the new model though because its water-resistant. It comes out in a few weeks. :)

I have one and I love it...the only thing to remember is that to not take it with you when you might need a xray....the runs the battery down and then does not keep as good of a charge. But I do love mine.... paintwithbarb is my id on fitbit.

Great thread! I was also looking into getting the fitbit one that cones out soon. It sounds like a great tool to have especially since it works with myfitnesspal and those apps that im already familiar with.

Mine also lives on my bra. When I go walking I use runkeeper app to track miles using GPS. Fitbit is spot on with the GPS.

I rarely use the armband to track my sleep because I clip it to my jammies. It also is accurate.

Crazy how it works but it is amazing!!

Listen to this Fitbit story: I purchased my ultra online from fitbit.com in April 2011. Used a few months then I put it in my desk drawer at work. I then pulled it out after surgery. It's been acting all weird. I logged on to their website for tech support and did all their troubleshooting until I finally wrote them for help. Guess what? They are sending me a new one for free!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
