Hey all!

Who all uses Fitbit? What do you think about it? Is it worth it?

My wife got me one for my birthday a month or so again. I'm trying to like it but honestly not sure it is worth the money. Simple free apps like myfitnesspal seem to be just as good. I'm not giving up on it yet but getting frustrated.

I've had mine since January, and love it. If there's enough on here that have one, we should start a group.

Just more junk. You got a mirror and a scale? Theres what you look like and that's how much you weigh. The numbers ballpark, useful only for measuring against itself.

I looked it up one day.Looked complicated to me,but I'm an idiot

My wife has one and it can me a good motivator. She is in a group and competes each week. She will not go to sleep without at least 10,000 steps each day.

anything that will motivate you to be more active is a good thing. Fwiw, I have no idea of the cost.

Up!

Thanks for the responses so far!

Love mine! It is very motivating to me seeing how many calories I am taking in vs. burning and I am too lazy to do all the calculations it does for you. I didn't have mine for about a month and I put back on the 6 lbs I had lost.

I've had one on every day for the past 2 months. I don't actually trust it to be accurate but it does motivate me to get up and moving. Down 21 pounds so far.

my job gave me the cheap one that does steps and miles. It is a good motivator to try to beat your wife in steps.

My company got them for us...it's pretty cool to track your activity and progress.

How does it work? Does it count steps while riding in a veh? Or is it body movement or.....

Kaitlin got one last week. I'm not quite sold on it, but it does motivate her (and me by association) because she is hell bent on getting 10k steps a day.....we've been waking every evening since she got it. She really only got it because she heard it will monitor your sleep, it does, sorta. I guess it's kinda cool.
