Laurac727 92 Posted December 10, 2014 I have had my fitbit since Jan 2014. Faithful with it. I had the flex most of the time. Now my hubs has my flex I upgraded to the charge so I had the watch. Guess what, now he wants a charge. [will order it tonight for him]. That is what I have used with MFP combo to loose my 30 so far. That one 30 has been up and down all year and not more than 30. Hence why I am here, I need to add a new tool to my plan! Since I am deep in this and now hubs, and in my preop phases, I asked for the Aria scale for xmas for us to use. I think that it is a wonderful addition to our planning and can not wait to have it. Also you can check out mapmyfitness app that will sync your exercise session right into fitbit and MFP for you. SO FAR I have liked it also. If any of you want to find me on fitbit it is //www.fitbit.com/user/2C6XJC and MFP my name is the same on there also both of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DivaSue 23 Posted December 10, 2014 The Fitbit is great. I've been an avid user for years. Got my hubby involved and now we challenge each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anaxila 501 Posted December 10, 2014 I misplaced my Fitbit about 10 days ago and it's driving me INSANE. I will finally break down and order a new one if I don't find it by the weekend. It's still live and still syncing (empty) data to my phone, so I know it wasn't stolen or anything. I'm sure it's in the house somewhere but damned if I know where. I had no idea how addicted I was to it until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2013sleevegirl 126 Posted December 13, 2014 What can it do? I hear everyone say they like it but I am unsure what it actually does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryBro63 410 Posted December 15, 2014 The following major things it's known to do are - Counts your daily steps, and converts this info into calories burned and distance covered, among other things Has a silent alarm you can set to wake you Track your exercise Links with MyFitnessPal to keep track of food intake and calories burned Keeps track of sleeping patterns Keeps track of weight goals There are more features, but these are the most common ones. Wish you the best!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisforMimi 760 Posted December 18, 2014 I use fitbit to track steps obviously. I have the alarms set every hour (which actually vibrates on my arm-hard to ignore). It reminds me to fill my water bottle at work. I will probably upgrade to the newer models that track hear rate in the upcoming year. I also have the Aria scale which syncs with fitbit and you can sync your myfitnesspal account with fitbit to have better calorie tracking. If you are looking for a daily workout app, I would try Bodybot. It will give you a daily workout based on your goals and if you workout at home or at a gym....it send an email daily and give you get exercises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bkworm73 6 Posted January 1, 2015 If anyone is interested in getting a fitbit QVC will be selling it starting tomorrow night. It's not the newest one,the charge. It's the one before that. I just ordered mine today through an email they sent and can't wait to get it. Right now I just use a regular pedometer my job gave us for the Virgin Healthmiles program but have been wanting a fitbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anaxila 501 Posted January 1, 2015 @@MisforMimi, sounds like we have the same setup - fitbit flex (waiting on the charge HR too) for steps and reminders, aria scale, mfp for nutrition tracking.... but I not familiar with Bodybot.
