Fitbit

So I have recently been looking into pedometers to help with my excercise tracking. For a while I was looking at the Fitbit and just saw today that they are coming out with a new model that is Water resistant. I am contemplating buying it but have yet to use one.

The main concern I have is the accuracy. I don't always wear pants that have pockets or loops and saw that it can be worn at the center of the bra; which I think would be more comfortable since I put stuff in my bra all the time.

Has anyone used one clipped on the bra and how well does it work?

That is where mine lives most of the time. I love my fitbit, it got me walking the stairs at work. Before I never thought about stairs, then I gor this little device that gave me a badge at 10 flights, then 25, then 50. It's funny how a little thing like that gets you going. Lol

So it doesn't seem to not give you steps or add too many being clipped there?

I am large chested and I don't want my girls to give me more than I should; I want my steps to be honest. LoL.

No problems with accuracy. It's the same as in the pocket. Sometimes i clip it to my bra strap and it sits by my arm pit. It depends on what I'm wearing. I've never had any problems and I've had it about 4 months now.

Thanks! I cannot wait to get one. I am going to order the new model though because its water-resistant. It comes out in a few weeks. :)

I have one and I love it...the only thing to remember is that to not take it with you when you might need a xray....the runs the battery down and then does not keep as good of a charge. But I do love mine.... paintwithbarb is my id on fitbit.

I'm ajtexas0. I'm on my phone so I can't friend you from the app.

Great thread! I was also looking into getting the fitbit one that cones out soon. It sounds like a great tool to have especially since it works with myfitnesspal and those apps that im already familiar with.

Mine also lives on my bra. When I go walking I use runkeeper app to track miles using GPS. Fitbit is spot on with the GPS.

I rarely use the armband to track my sleep because I clip it to my jammies. It also is accurate.

Crazy how it works but it is amazing!!

I LOVE my Fitbit. It lives on my bra and is very accurate. It's amazing how motivated you become to earn those badges!!

I have asked Santa for one.....gosh trying to be good now....laughs....

Do you have a back up plan?

Listen to this Fitbit story: I purchased my ultra online from fitbit.com in April 2011. Used a few months then I put it in my desk drawer at work. I then pulled it out after surgery. It's been acting all weird. I logged on to their website for tech support and did all their troubleshooting until I finally wrote them for help. Guess what? They are sending me a new one for free!
