My daughter has one and LOVES it. She says it is worth every dime. I will get one as I get more active

Yes, I bought one about 6 weeks ago just to track my steps. It keeps me focused on number of steps and keeps me parking far away from buildings to get more steps in.

Good luck!

I love it because it keeps me honest...I link it to my fitness pal and track calories, Protein, carbs and water-fitbit syncs with it to get calories burned from exercise.

LOVE mine!!!! I have a Zip, and have been using it for just over a year. Several family members also have them & as a way to help me stay motivated we have "competitions" each week/weekend. It makes me look at my steps often throughout the day and always try to push that little bit more. Last night I was 28 steps shy of my 10,000 for the day, so I did laps around our bedroom until I hit my goal! It really is worth it, especially considering I have the "cheap" one that doesn't have any of the bells and whistles on it.

I have the Charge HR model and love it!

I have the Charge HR, as well. I upgraded from the Flex, because I was tired of wearing the Flex + a watch! I love that it shows the time, my steps, I can see who is calling by looking at my wrist (LOL), shows stairs climbed, my heart rate, and more. It even automatically monitors my sleep.

What's cool about apps like this, is there are so many entities out there that WANT you to get healthy. I auto-sync with LoseIt! of course, but I also have it sync'd with Walgreens. It works with their rewards program - the more steps I take, the more rewards points I get back, which yes, turns into cash! So love it!

I also have the fitbit hr, and have had it for over a year(I was one of those that HAD to have it when it came out). I never knew about the walgreens thing! Thank you for posting!!!!

I love mine! Its a great motivator to get active! Especially if you have friends and you work to out do them in steps! I also love seeing how my walking burns so many calories. In short, its great if you really want to get moving.

I have the charge HR as well. I love challenging friends and family each week to see who has the most steps, it keeps me motivated! I can't tell you how many times I've taken laps around my house just to get those last few hundred steps to 10,000 lol!

I like mine too. Simple way to see where I am during the day. And I agree, challenging friends keeps me motivated.

Has anyone else noticed though, that it's not very accurate if you're walking on a treadmill? I'm guessing maybe since my arms don't move like they would if I was just walking (I'm clumsy so I hold on). That would be my only complaint.

Another advocate of the Fitbit, I've got the charge HR too, I'm still quite early on my journey but using it and the app really focus me on what I'm doing. The sleep function is quite interesting too

I have the Fitbit One and love it just to keep track of how many steps I take daily. I've had it 8 months now and still clip it on every day.

I have a fit bit one and I love it. I only take it off to shower and charge it. I have it synched to Myfitnesspal. It keeps me active and in touch with my friends and family that are also Fitbit users. I also have their scale which I like as well!!

      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.
