Default Fitbit?

Does anyone have one? What can you tell me about them? I *think* I want one, but I want to make sure it's something I really "need". LOL

I have one. It's in pieces and I'm waiting on a replacement. But when it worked, I LOVED it. It made me really aware of how much I walked, how often I climbed the stairs, motivated me to walk more, and was nice to keep track of how much I {wasn't} sleeping. I had it for about 10 months before it broke but their customer service is awesome and they're replacing it.

I have one and I'm not trying to lose weight. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone - trying to lose weight or not. It helps me keep track of how much I'm moving every day and there is a dashboard that is free (with the Fitbit One, at least) where I keep my food log, track my weight, and track my sleep. It definitely keeps me motivated to increase the number of steps I take daily.

I have an Up band which I think is about the same thing. Honestly, I didn't find it all that motivational. I have a pretty good sense for how much I move and sit and sleep every day without it!

I have a BodyMedia arm band and love it. It totally motivates me to workout, and workout longer than I usually would.

I have one and love it I don't use it as much as I used to when I was working out a lot but I do like it THey aren't too expensive (50ish bucks at Brookstone and our Target has them too the ones that track while you sleep are a tad more $$) plus the data collection graph is pretty cool!

I'm so out of the loop, I haven't even heard of these things! I have a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, but they are just the plain ol plain versions.

I've had mine since August and love it!! Their customer service is top notch too! I owe all of my -31lbs to my FitBit and MyFitnessPal.

I just got a Fitbit One with Christmas money. I LOVE it. Joel got one after me, and his stopped working. He's pretty rough on his stuff, though.

I want the Aria scale that syncs with the fitbit now.

Kristin, e-mail them and they'll send him a new one. Even if it's his fault it broke, they'll send him a new one!

He emailed them three days ago and is still waiting to hear back. He's pretty frustrated.

Usually they are pretty good about stuff like that. Maybe because they are getting more popular they are more busy?

That could be. He lost his clip a week or so ago so it's just been in his pocket. I'm sure that's the reason- change, keys, etc. kept hitting it. He's probably dropped it a few times, too. LOL Thanks, though! We'll keep waiting...

I was looking at these last week in Best Buy and they looked pretty cool! I told my DH I wouldn't mind having one but since we had just dropped $$$ on a new washer & dryer I decided to wait a bit to get one. I'll have to research them a bit more though!

Yay! I got one today. Haven't set it up yet. I really hate spending money on myself, but I figured between this contest starting up and my 35th birthday on Saturday, I deserve a little spoiling.

Can't wait to use it!
