Fitbit?

[Libby Pritchett]

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 a bodybug. it's okay. I am not in 'love' with it. My mom has the Nike + fuelband and raves about it

[Joana1n]

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 want a fitbit for the times that Im NOT working out on a machine at the gym so I can know how many calories im burning. There is this adorable pink one that is about $60 that Im wanting! :)

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!

you get it with the zip too just not the sleep it doesn't track that

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.

[Libby Pritchett]

Oh I didn't know Target carried them! I might check them out when I'm out running errands today!

Thanks guys!

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.

[Jennilyn]

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

[SmallMoments]

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...

[kim21673]

I've been thinking about getting one!! I will definitely be reading replies!!!

[Shawna]

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!

[Libby Pritchett]

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!
