Oh I love my zip, had the one and loved it too butl it was old and stopped working. Now I want an excuse to get the flex but my zip is in perfect shape still. I like that it links up to fitness pal and other apps to show your progress or you can track food on the fitbit app and website. Anyway I bought my dad one as a gift and he wears his every day. It's a great product!!! All of the models are great!

Just received one today as a gift. It seems pretty cool. My sis purchased it through Amazon.com and you can download the app for free. I haven't seen everything as to how it does it all but. It seems pretty useful.

A friend at work was considering of getting one because Weight Watches has their own for approx 40 dollars. But you have to pay 5 bucks on using the website. With the fitnit, it's free.

Good luck

Yes, I love the Water tracking too. Also, seeing my activity and how far I've walked kinda makes me want to increase it for the next time. And I forget it's even there! I'm lovin it

I saw this post and starting to consider a Fitbit myself. My birthday is coming up and my husband has been asking me what I want. I went to their website and watched the videos and stuff, but still don't understand how it makes you sleep better or exercise more. Is this thing actually worth $100 or is it just a fancy pedometer and I should I ask for jewelry instead?

Jewelry vs fitbit? That's a hard decision. I like my fitbit over a pedometer because it's more accurate and user friendly. It motivates me to exercise because I want to go over 10,000 steps. If, at the end of the day, I'm close I walk around until I hit my goal. Don't really use the sleep feature (I did a couple of times) and don't see how it could actually improve my sleep. Wt loss has improved my sleep!

I have the fitbit flex and I love it!!!! It is just a expensive pedometer unless you use it to push you to walk more and become friends with others and compete with them and let them push you as well. I have had mine since July as a birthday present....best present ever and it syncs with my fitnesspal!!!

I have the fitbit ultra. If I were to get another I would get the Bracelet one. My niece just bought the bracelet and loves it. I live in the Boston area and got mine at the AT&T store and they were discounted. I have had it since December.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
