 Loved it at first.  Been sitting on a shelf all summer.  Plan on using it again when work resumes and it is easier for me to not feel like getting my exercise in.  Not feeling like it was worth the money once the novelty wore off.

I really like mine.  I have used a body bugg in the past but you have to pay for a subscription eventually.  I bought mine on sale at 24 hour fitness, with tax it was only $2 cheaper than online.  I love that it synchs with My Fitness Pal.  It was interesting to see the sleep cycle last night as well.  I am only 4 weeks out so I have not have a chance to see how it handles hard workouts yet.  It does seem fairly accurate on steps taken.  It does encourage me to try and get the rest of my steps in when I am short for the day.
I love MFP because you can scan your bar codes on your food and even most store brand stuff is in the database.
I just started using mine on Friday.  I was also impressed with their customer service, apparently my keyboard jumped around when I was registering it and they reset it quickly for me.  They do not have "live" service, but they answered me and reset it over the weekend so that was nice.

I've had mine since April and still wear it daily. If it needs charging then I do it at night but otherwise I wear it on my underwear so that it even counts the steps I take in the night to and from the loo I am pre op and about 300 lbs so my daily steps are usually between 3000-4000 daily during the week, weekends are far less. I find it works to keep me motivated. Some days I even check my steps each time I use the washroom just as a motivator

I love it and it's the only pedometer I haven't lost because I can attach it to my bra.  When I first got it my average was about 4000 steps a day (no exercise).  I'm currently making an effort to make sure I hit 6,000 (no exercise) every day even on the weekends.  Sundays are the hardest.

 Love it, I have not found one bad thing with it! Mine original one got messed up (I was wearing it INSIDE my workout cloths and it got wet) and they sent me a replacement free of charge, even though I am SURE that it was my fault! Customer service is good, and it keeps me moving most days as I try to "out Fitbit" myself every day, going for new goals and badges all the time!
