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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
