Anyone have a Fitbit?

I thought about it because I've heard before about how great they are about stuff like this. I don't expect they'll help me out because I've owned it over a year, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try. I think I'll go for it! :)

Hi Linda

I purchased a Fitbit 18 months ago....I think its called a ONE....its the type I clip on my bra every morning

What I truly find amazing....is how it has changed my behavior.....

I have not registered for "friends" .....this is all about me and my habits....but if you like that motivation you can see what other people - "friends"- are completing daily

I put it on every day....and check it every night....and love to see the steps I am completing....especially when I walk the golf course....

Its a real motivator for me....I would purchase another if I lost this one.....( and I put mine thru the washer the first week....took a licking and came out ticking!)

I have the fitbit one. I love it!

I love my Fitbit flex! Looking forward to using it in the pool a****er aerobics classes.

I hate the fitbit flex, but LOVE my fitbit one.  I also sync it with myfitness pal and track what I eat there.  I am looking into the fitbit force which is basically the one and the flex all meshed together and you can wear it on your wrist like the flex.  I did not like the flex because after having the one..I wanted to see my numbers not just lights flashing. Have fun with yours.

 

Your numbers are just a touch away on your computer or smartphone!  Since I have my smartphone with me almost all the time, I only have a few taps and have more info than I could ever see on my wrist.  Still, whatever floats your boat.  The Force does look interesting, but the Flex provides me with all I need.  ;D

Unfortunately my numbers are not just a touch away, I can not have the information on my work computer as our firewall will block it all the time and to rely on my phone it drains the battery too quickly as I have to have the blue tooth turned on, so it just does not work.  The force is basically like the ones you clip to your clothes but you wear it on the wrist.  

Hmm.  Do you have a very old phone?  So far, the bluetooth connection with my phone has had no effect on the life of my battery.  I'm retired now, so just have it linked to my home computer and my phone.  Works great!

Nope I have and IPhone 5 and having the Bluetooth on drains the battery. I have heard that from other iPhone users also while others have no issues at all so who knows

 

I have had a Fitbit for close to 2 years and it is a great motivator to get the steps and flights of stairs in daily. It will also calculate any hill you climb for a flight of stairs, the device measures barimetric pressure. My husband decided he wanted one also and we bought the Fitbit One which ended up being too little for his big man fingers so I took the new one and he has my hand me down, the Fitbit Ultra (which they do not sell anymore). We both challenge each other with our steps and stair climbing. He is retired and walks a lot during the day and my work entails walking in the building and stairwells also. We ended up calculating our strides because it seemed like we were getting too many steps for our height/age/sex. Fitbit tells you how to do this. We now have more accurate steps for ourselves. The Fitbit One sincs to my Smartphone also.

We do not get into the food diary part of the tool. That is just us.

 

Keep up the good work everyone that uses the Fitbit or whichever like took that you have to motivate your journey.
