Fitbit One



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the Fitbit One? Do you like it and do you find it to be accurate? Is it worth $100? Also if anyone knows, how does it compare to others like Nike Fuelband?

I love mine. I do think it is pretty accurate. I like that you can sync it with My Fitness Pal. I looked at a lot of these types of monitors before buying the Fitbit, the Fitbit is the only one I found at the time that syncs via Bluetooth. The Nike Fuelband has to be connected to your PC to sync. The Fitbit also monitors your sleep, which I don't think any of the others do. It is great for increasing your incidental activity--at the end of the day I can see if I need to do more stairs or go for a walk to increase my steps for the day.

In April the Fitbit Flex is supposed to come out, which is similar to the Fuelband. I am getting one of those and giving my One to my husband. :rolleyes:

I also have the Fitbit Aria scale, kind of pricy but I really like it. I really don't work for them, I just like these two products. I swear! LOL.

I had not heard of the Fitbit Flex... I might wait for that one to come out. Going to look it up now :)

The flex only syncs with an iPhone 4S or 5... I have a 4... Might be a drawback.

I have a 4 as well...there is a tiny wireless bluetooth dongle that fits in a USB slot so I can sync it on my PC. I just don't have to take it off to do it. (I wear it in my bra.) Also it syncs on my iPad. Someday I'll get a newer iPhone, but not yet.

I am completely addicted to my fitbit - I have the fitbit zip and love it.... I may also upgrade to the flex and give the zip to my husband (mainly to get him moving now too) :-)!!! I have become so addicted to making sure I get over 10k steps that I actually get in 15k now - so I'm going to up my goals!! Love it!!

I just invested in the Fitbit One. I was going to wait for the Fitbit Flex to come out next month until I read that it doesn't count stairs. I bought my Fitbit One from HSN. They had the best deal... comes with an armband to keep your Fitbit in while you sleep. HSN also had free shipping and four month flex pay. The Fitbit itself, is teenie tiny. You can clip it to your waste band or for ladies, inside your bra and no one will notice that you are wearing it. The Fitbit Flex would be obvious because you would be wearing it on your wrist. This product really encourages you to add more steps & stairs to your day!

I also have the Aria scale, which is awesome. It tracks your weight automatically to their Fitbit web site, which is free. You can also track your food & Water intake and set your daily calories. Fitbit will keep track for you and let you know how many calories you have left for the day. The Aria scale paired with the Fitbit, work great together to encourage and keep you on track. I got my first 15 pound weight loss badge which I copied and put use as wallpaper on my Iphone :)

It's really nice to have extra encouragement!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
