Thinking of getting a fitbit. Wondered if anyone has one and if they have been happy with it. Also trying to decide between a fitbit one or zip. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Fitbit One, and wear it every day. I love it, as it helps keep me accountable for my level of activity every day, and also to help me see how many calories I have burned for the day.

It's a great motivation for me, as I make it a priority to get my 10,000 + steps in every day. I got tired of having to reset it with my computer, so I do not sync it, but rather use it to track activity and calories burned daily.

I am not familiar with the Fitbit Zip.

Where can I get a fitbit?

I bought a fitbit one online and love it. I'm actually sad if I forget it. I don't get 10,000 steps in but it does motivate me.

I love my Fitbit One.

Like Carole said, it's nice to see the raw data about how active/lazy I'm being. I push and get the goals done more often than not. I hooked it to my phone (via bluetooth) and hooked it to my MyFitnessPal as well. The tie in is great seeing the caloric intake from MFP versus the activity output of the Fitbit.

I tend to check on the Fitbit Dashboard online a time or two a day to see it all laid out for me.

As for obtaining one, I got mine for about $65/$70. I found it online, printed it out, and then brought it to BestBuy that price matched it. Great deal!

I just ordered my fitbit. Does anyone know if you can swim with it?

I have the Fitbit wristband and wear it everyday, all day. Swim, shower, whatever you want! Works like a charm, tracks my steps, Water intake, sleep patterns and more. Love it.

I think it depends on the model. The fitbit flex can go up to 10 meters deep for 30 minutes I believe. only had mine a few weeks and haven't gone swimming yet.

Thanks. I can't wait. Should be here Friday. Got the flex because will be easiest to use for me and won't worry so much about losing it.

I love my flex. I would always be forgetting it if it weren't attached to me. My wife liked it so much she had to go out the next day and get herself one.

Got my fitbit flex today and can't stop playing with it. I think it will be a very helpful tool. My Dr said she has one too and loves it. So glad I saw this thread otherwise would have never heard of it!

I think after reading this thread and looking at the website I am going to get a flex also.

I love it. I cant wait to check everything on my phone and computer. You will be making a good investment.

I have the fitbit one and love it. I got mine free from the hospital where I work after doing a health assessment and coaching. It syncs to MFP. If I'm close to 10,000 steps at the end of the day I walk around the house until I get there. It also syncs to my droid phone and I get messages telling me how I'm doing. All of that keeps me motivated.

I have a fitbit one. I went with it over the flex, as it is easy to wear discretely and I don't have something on my arm bugging me. BUT, I lost the charging cord...I can only get another off the fitbit website for 19$ plus shipping to Canada and Taxes and Duty at the border..boo
