Fitbit - Yipee

Jan 21, 2010

So in September of 2008 I found this neat little gadget on a Hungry Girl email - the Fitbit. Sounded like a mini Bodybugg with the features I wanted. It was small, discreet and tracked sleep habits as well as activity. Hubby pre-ordered for my Christmas 2008 gift.  Turns out that development, debugging and manufacturing took a bit longer than expected to produce a perfect product.

I got my Fitbit last week and I can tell you the wait was worth it. This thing is fun, easy and very motivational. It is worn clipped to your clothing and in a wrist band at night. I clip it to the center of my bra, you can't see it and I can't tell its there. It uses a bunch of fancy technology to keep an accurate record of - steps, distance traveled and exertion. During sleep mode it records when you were restless and when you slept peacefully.

There web site (which is free) allows you to customize your goals for steps, calories, etc and also provides a very user friendly food log (I've used them all and this one is the easiest IMO). Now I have a real time evaluation of calories burned vs. calories eaten. I love my Fitbit.
