Best device for tracking calories burned? (bodybugg, fitbit, jawbone up, etc...)

[Sassafras 136]

I would like to start keeping an more accurate and personalized account of how many calories I am burning each day. I believe it will make me more aware and accountable for my exercise...the way that tracking calorie intake on my fitness pal keeps me on top of my food intake. There are several out there now and I would like to know which ones you guys like and why you like it. I really need your advice and input. Im excited to find one and get started with it

I have the fitbit and I can't comment on what is best because I haven't used any other device, but check out the link below for and article comparing several devices.

I like the fitbit, I wear it around my neck on a lanyard, otherwise I would not remember it attached to my clothing. I have the fitbit Ultra.

Thank you very much! My phone keeps messing up my responses :-s

I use the fitbit attached to my bra, and it has been working great for me! No one ever knows it's there, and it syncs with my phone, computer, or ipad automatically. It is a huge motivator to see how much I did or didn't move each day. It doesn't account for strength training, but you can add it in online. It also links with myfitnesspal and will deduct the calories from your intake (if you believe in net calories). It also sends a weekly report so you can see when you've been most active. The accountability has helped motivate me to keep moving. It was about $60 at bestbuy, so it depends on what is best for you.
