Fitbit

Does anyone have one? Which style? Do you find it useful and helpful? Looking into getting one. 

I have the the flex and like it a lot. It wirelessly syncs to my desktop and iPhone. Other like the Jawbone up but it doesn't sync wirelessly.

I use it mostly for steps and miles but also for silent alarms. It will track sleep but either the jawbone does a better job there are reports it better. Not sure which.

I also have the fit bit scale which I love. Got both at same time at Best Buy. Did all the comparisons and decided I would like using the combo. The scale wirelessly syncs also. I get on in the morning and it records for me automatically.

The best thing about fitbit is their dashboard. It puts everything into a nice snapshot online that's super easy.

Also, if you care, it links to MFP but so do the others.

I have the Fitbit Flex and the Fitbit scale.  I like both of them a lot and use them every day.  I also use the food log on the fitbit site.  My sisters and I created a group, on the fitbit site, where we compare step and activity totals for a little healthy competition.  It's a cool little gadget. 

I have the Fitbit One and the Aria scale, I got them for Christmas which is one of the few things I had on my 'list.' I like that it can clip to pretty much anything. I have it clipped to my shirt 90% of the time, although occasionally I will clip it through my shoelaces. Then there's always a bra if I don't want it showing. I also like that it tracks flights of stairs, some days I am amazed at how high that number gets, especially days when I am just at home. There is the option to use it to track sleep, but I rarely use it. What it does is recognize every time you move your wrist (which is where you are supposed to wear it at night) so it isn't necessarily super accurate. I toss and turn in my sleep a lot, so my results aren't really helpful. I forgot there was even a tool of a stopwatch on this thing until recently. I have been working out at home since my former gym closed. I have a treadmill and elliptical which have the time of course but I prefer using my spin bike most often, which has no timer. The thought came to my mind... why am I trying to remember what time I started when this thing is supposed to have a stopwatch? D'oh! It also doubles as a watch... pressing a button to check the time is quicker than pulling out my phone and putting it back. The cons to this of course are that occasionally you will forget to unclip it to whatever it's clipped on to. Fortunately I have always realized where it was before it was laundry time. :)

I like my Fitbit Flex.  It lets me know how much exercise I'm getting just in a normal day at work.  I get a lot more than I thought considering I have a desk job.  All those trips to the printer add up!  Also, it keeps me wanting to add more steps to my day, and it showed my trend of not doing much on weekends, which was crazy because that's when I actually have the time and energy to go walking (at the mall where it's air conditioned!).

I have the Fitbit Flex. I love it because I can wear it in the pool. It also syncs with MyFitnessPal.

I have the Flex and I love love love it!  It helps keep me accountable.
