I have a fit bit charger and like it. That being said it does have draw backs. When I do the rowing machine at the gym it doesn't pick up my distances accurately at all. Also if I hold on the handles on the treadmill it's not very accurate. It under counts which is a good thing.

I used two FitBit's over the last 3-4 years. Lost one and my dog ate the other! :D Waiting on my Apple watch to be delivered over the next two or three days. I believe it's going to be my new and permanent activity tracker.

We're also working on our own food and activity tracker apps and I'll announce further info once we're closer to launch.

I'm debating on the apple watch.

Please let me know how you like/dislike it once you receive it.

A few years ago, I used the Bodymedia fit, which I liked, but got to many questions of what's that on your arm? It got annoying. Then last year I got the Jawbone Up24. Which I liked, but after having to send it back 3 times in 5 months, I gave up. I now got the Fitbit Charge HR, which I really like. I've only had it 1.5 months but I enjoy it. I do notice the step count has been higher than the jawbone. Not sure which is more accurate. I may be exercising more, but even at work it says I walk more. I am on my feet my 10 hour shift.

I love Apple, so I thought about the watch, but I think I would break it. One of my exercises is kickboxing and hitting it on the bag may break it. Otherwise I would totally get it.

I was worried about the same thing. That's why I purchased Apple care. I've broken multiple devices and Apple was always more than happy to replace them free of charge, as long as I had AppleCare.

There's a bumper that you might be interested if you do get the Apple watch:

I love my Fitbit because you can compete with friends and I'll use my apple watch when it arrives in June.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
