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:

      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.
