What is the best fitbit?



Recommended Posts

I ordered the flex, and like it for all the same reasons that others have posted. I like the fact that it is in a wristband, versus clipping it on or putting it in pocket. I figured that the clip on was a sure fire way to end up in the washing machine, or lost somewhere. I've been wearing the flex for 2 months now and have zero issues, be it work, play, rest, etc...

What about the garmin vivofit....the interesting thing i find about it is that you dont need to charge it for a whole year! and its the only one truely waterproof(with which you can swim)

I have the vivofit and love it!! Yes it is Water proof up to like 50 meters (it doesn't track laps very well though). It comes with a heart rate monitor which is awesome for workouts! There's a cue (red bar) to tell you if you've been sitting for too long and the longer you sit, the longer you have you walk to get rid of it. Never has to charge. I actually never take it off.

Absolutely love it!!

I'm looking for a way to track my activity and motivate me throughout the day. Which fit bit would talk recommend? The Flex? The One? Is there another one I should look at?

I had a flex and gave it to my daughter. Got tired of it being on my arm ALL the time. Got a one and love it. Hooks on my bra or in a pocket. Keeps track of stairs.

I like the flex because I can shower with it on but hate the short battery life. Charge only last 24 hours and after having Fitbit send me a new one that had the exact same problem, I gave up. I have heard that Apple is coming out with something. I will be first in line for that when it comes out.

      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.
