Fitbit

Does anyone here have a fitbit to track your activity? Do you like it? Is it worth the money?

OK so I loved my fitbit until it just quit working. I tried all of their suggestions and I am currently waiting to see if they will be sending me a new one. I hope this is not a common occurrence! I will let you know how it turns out.

I bought mine at best buy and just love it loged 12,104 steps today :) . It will log it into my fitness pal as well . Best buy has them in store for the same price but if in 30 days I hate it or it stops working I can drive over and return it ;) but right now it's my best friend.

I got an email today that says my new fitbit is on its way!

So with the FitBit, does it record the calories burned during normal exercise (i.e. not walking or running)? Or will I need to keep using my heart rate monitor and chest strap?

God is Great! I was browsing on the web looking at the info on fitbit and a nosey coworker was asking me questions about the product. I replied that I did not know much about it and I belong to VSG forum and is one of the hot topics. So of course that opened up more dialog and questions. To make a short story shorter. The nosey coworker brought me a Fitbit to work today!! :) . Thank you nosey coworker and better yet thank you GOD!! (One less expense for me)

Wow, that is a GENEROUS nosey co-worker! :)

I went the body media fit route instead. Got mine on eBay for $50 and the annual subscription for $28. So mine was cheaper upfront.
