I just got the flex. I have had the Ultra and the fitbit one. I really love the functionality of the the ONE but the flex is easier to remember to put on and it gets all the steps I miss when I forget or put the one on too late in the day.

The flex you can leave on all the time, and it tracks your sleep as well. The ONE tracks your elevation levels for step climbing and I think that is the only thing the flex does not do.

Well here we are Fitbit pals! Getting our steps in!

If you like the ease of wearing of the Flex and the missing function of the flights of steps on the One, Fitbit just started putting out press slides of their new product (called the Force).

There's not much information yet, but knowing corporate America, I'm betting it'll be out right before Christmas. You can see the info about it by just Googling "Fitbit Force".

It supposedly has all of the functionality of the One, in the wearable fashion of the Flex for around $130.

Just posting that in case anyone is interested in waiting.

Can you use the one and flex interchangeably? I just don't think I'd want the flex on my wrist all the time. Can you switch between wearing them and get accurate information? I'm a woman - I like fashion options. Lol.

I don't know. I only have the ONE. And it's fine. I hook it on my bra and forget about it. And I really do forget it's there. At night they give you a Bracelet thing to insert it while sleeping. I guess so you don't loose it. For me personally, I don't think I want everyone seeing it. That's me though. With the ONE I don't need anything else.

My understanding is that you can swim/get wet with the flex. Is that true? Anyone?

It is Water resistant up to 30 feet. I love my flex.

I know with the ONE it's sweat and rain resistant. But can't be submerged.

** I guess Nike has something like it too, I think it's called the Fuel Band. I don't know anything about it except it is more than my FitBit ONE.

The Nike Fuelband is a nice device, sadly, it only works with an iOS device (iPhone, iPad and such). That ruled it out for me. They said for about a year and a half they were going to put out an Android app for it, and then, recanted that and said they were no longer working on it.

Also, I wanted to point out that Fitbit officially released their new device today, the Froce (http://www.fitbit.com/force). I'm really interested in seeing what people are going to say about it. The wristband form factor that the Flex provided was very appealing to me, but I had heard that people that talk with their hands a lot, or who don't move their arms when they walk (ie, pushing a stroller or something), were not getting accurate reading from the device.

Time will tell. And I still love my One.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
