Nikefuel, anyone?

Hey guys - I got a Nike Fuelband for Christmas. For the uninitiated, it tracks movement throughout my day. Does anyone out have one of these or any other Nike+ product? My Bracelet uplaods to my phone and web, and I was hoping to find some friends to challenge. Happy New Year, and best of luck everyone!

I gotone for Christmas and I LOVE it! It will be interesting to see how many steps I take in a day once go back to work on Monday. My fuel goal is 3000. What is yours?

Sorry.. I use FitBit... similar but different.

I love, love, love mine, too! I've been really putting my mind to it. My daily goal is 4500, but I've been busting 6k most days. Yesterday I had 20,000 steps. I find it so motivating. Are you on Facebook? I think we can be Nike+ friends then, too. I used to use the little thingamabob that you put in your shoe, and it talked to your Nano or ipod. That was strictly for tracking running, though. I got my lapband August 30, and I'm down about 20 pounds. I've used this time to just heal and learn how to eat with the band. Now I need to get goal oriented. I want to be at my goal of 140 by my one year surgery anniversary date.

Some people use the Body Buddy, but you have to pay a monthly fee to download your info, which turned me off. Plus, I don't think it is designed to be worn around the clock like the Fuelband. I haven't heard of a FitBit. The Fuelband is Water resistant, so I can take a shower with it on, or dance in the rain.

I find the fuel band very motivating. I find myself walking more or climbing stairs just so I can get to my goal for the day. You have an excellent start to your weight loss! It also sounds like you move a lot with a goal of 6000! nice work!
