Anyone use UP by Jawbone?



Recommended Posts

I've been using this wristband for about 3 weeks now and I love it. Tracks activity and sleep patterns. I would love more people on my team, so let me know if you have one too. I'm not sure how to add a teammate, but I think I can search for user names?

It also syncs with My Fitness Pal and transfers activity and calories burned to it.

I have a bodybug got if for a great sale price at 24 hour fitness a few months back. It has a website that downloads all your information too. Also has blue tooth ability with an app for your I phone. It knows when you are sleeping and tells you when you haven't worked out enough, it can be a bit of a pain!! :) It's the same one they use on the Biggest Loser.

It is a wrist band that you wear that monitors your steps, activities and sleeping patterns. You download the info to an app on your phone. You can also use the app to track you food. It allows you to team up with other people who have the band to encourage and cheer each other on. Attached is the link to their website. They can be purchased online or at Bestbuy.

Hey guys I'm a manager at an AT&T store where we sell this product everyday. So I get to see all the differences of multiple exercise band tracking devices. By FAR the jawbone UP is my absolute favorite. I told everyone in my bariatric center to invest in one because it works VERY well. I've noticed other trackers are not quite as accurate or convenient, but UP is not only easy to use but it's comfortable and waterproof. I hope this helps and if you have any questions about it let me know !

I use the fit bit flex, it is like the jawbone up but it has several things I like better than jawbone.

The flex clasps around your wrist and is secure with a closure, the jawbone overlaps a little on your wrist, so it can get caught on things. * The fitbit is Bluetooth connected, whereas the jawbone has to be plugged into your phones headset jack to upload all info. I like going into the fitbit app on my iPhone and it syncing right away, makes it a lot easier for me. * the fitbit will work in the shower, baths, doing dishes and giving dogs baths, I don't have a pool so I don't know for sure about swimming, however that's not really what they count. * the fitbit comes with a large and small wristband, you choose which size fits you best, the jawbone, you have to find which size fits you and then buy that size wristband. If you need a large wristband now and lose weight around your hands and arms then need a smaller size, you will have to buy a new jawbone. * the fitbit is $99.99. Vs. $129.99...... I am just giving you a few things I really like better, I did a lot of research between the 2 devices before I bought. I really like using the combo fitbit flex and my fitness pal apps together, as well. Hope that helps.

      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.
