I have been wearing a regular pedometer daily since surgery, and I do 45 min daily on the treadmill... Are the extra things the Fitbit does worth $99? Apparently, it tracks sleep and does charts and stuff? If you have one, do you love it?

I'm loving it. I was actually shocked to see how much I don't move durning the work day. I now make sure I get up and walk around every hour. I set a daily goal' date=' so I try really hard to hit it everyday (not that I do, but I aim for it). I think it's the best investment I made in a long time.[/quote']

That is a great idea, especially with the studies that state sitting too much leads to a shorter life.

Check out the Striiv. I love it. The Striiv Play syncs to an iPhone. Very motivating.

I got myself one in December and I love it. I get updates on my phone via the fit bit app. If I have not reached my daily step goal it will say something like " you have 200 more steps to go!" I love getting the progress reports also via email. It gives you a snap shot of how you did that week. Ive tried the sleeping function and it works but I always forget to turn it on. Great Investment!

I just got the UP band by jawbone. I love it. It does it all and it's a nice stylish band. One friend thought it was a nice leather bracelet. It soon will link up with my fitness pal. I like how it buzzes every 15 minutes I'm idle. Research them all and see what fits your life style.

Good luck

I have a fitbit and love it! It is small and I can clip it on my bra and don't even notice it, but because it is so small I have to be careful not to loose it. I have almost thrown it in the wash a time or two because I forgot to unclip it from my bra.
