Anyone using a Fitbit?

[Strangefruit 179]

I have been wearing a regular pedometer daily since surgery, and I do 45 min daily on the treadmill... Are the extra things the Fitbit does worth $99? Apparently, it tracks sleep and does charts and stuff? If you have one, do you love it?

I too have been looking into either getting the Fitbit or the Nike+ FuelBand.

I love my Fitbit! Def worth the money. All I have to do is slip it into my pocket, and it tracks my steps, # flights of stairs per day, calories burned, etc. Really accurate too. But I like that it's small, and not a bulky thing I have to clip on to the waist of my pants, digging into me and falling off. It still has a clip though, if you want to do it that way and it holds on tight. What I really like though is that it automatically shoots the daily exercise info over to an online account so you can keep logging in and see your progress throughout the day. (it gets addictive!)

Anooother cool thing is you can connect your Fitbit account to your MyFitness Pal acct...So if you use MFP, it shoots all that info over to Fitbit and you can see the whole picture of your exercise & food it one place.

P.S. Oh and the sleep tracker does work! The first night I wore it I found out I woke up 17 times!!! No wonder I was groggy

Wow - I never heard of the FitBit. It sounds very intriguing.

I love my fitbit, I am a huge cheapie and paid 37 for mine ( new) and I think it's great. I plan to fully take advantage of it in the next few weeks. I also have it linked to my food tracking program. ( lose it)

It links to "lose it"? That's a plus... I use lose it already, but thought I would have to switch to my fitness pal... I like lose it...

I love my Fitbit but I was wearing it on my belt with clip and lost it either on my flight to Seattle or in SaeTac Airport last week! I ordered a new Fitbit One on line. As soon as it gets here and is charged its going in my pocket!

Also a huge fan of the fitbit. It is worth $99. I like their new model, the One. Uses bluetooth to sync. I have the old style where I have to dock the fitbit to sync. It also syncs with My Fitness Pal and other applications.

Can you see the info on a phone app or do you have to use an actual computer?

It syncs wirelessly?

Doesn't work for cycling?

Only measures full flights of stairs?

Is it accurate in measuring steps verses actual counted steps?

How does it measure calorie burn?

Thanks

I just ordered my Nike Fuelband...can't wait to get it. I think it will keep me motivated to MOVE.

Oh my goodness, I have had my Fitbit for a year now and absolutely love it! You would be surprised at how that little devise can motivate you to move more.

I'm on the fence about buying one. Which one do you have? I can't decide if i want the regular pedometer or the one that tracks your sleep too.

[LifetimeLoser 208]

yep. I love mine! I got it for christmas and just recently started using it. I have just the basic model, but it gets me moving more knowing what I have or haven't done. And it pairs with my fitness pal along with other applications.

I have the fitbit ultra (last year's model) and I love it! It syncs wirelessly, but you have to be near the computer, and it has to be turned on. It does not sync directly to my phone, which is a draw back. Still, I love it. I am not so sure about the sleep module...it tracks "how many times you wake up" but really, I think it detects a lot of movement. You may or may not be awake. Having said that, it tracks how many hours you were in bed and how much of that time you were not moving, so probably sleeping.

My daughter just got the fitbit one, and it will sync to her phone throughout the day - big bonus! I'm thinking about getting that one!

In my opinion, worth the money.
