Just wanted to see who uses fitbit and find out what you think about it??

I have the FItbit Zip and find it to be a glorified pedometer. The more expensive one will monitor your sleep but I don't know if you have to wear it to bed or not. I won it in a drawing so I didn't spend anything for it. I accidentally washed it but it survived to my surprise. I use My Fitness Pal and it does sync up with that but I never get any kind of adjustment with it because my exercise overrules any of the Zip's measurements. I never meet the goal of 10,000 steps because I sit at a desk most of the day. I wear it to the gym but still don't get to 10,000. I finally figured out I could reset that goal to something more attainable. Keeping up with it and keeping it away from the cat when not wearing it are the biggest challenges in using it. Would I pay for it? I don't think so but others may be bigger fans of it than me.I think there are some iPhone apps that will do pretty much the same thing for a whole lot less.

I have the Fitbit and I love it! There's a new one out, the Flex that you wear as a Bracelet and I want that one now.

I recieved the fitbit one as a pre surgery gift ftom the family. I don't do anything without it. My husband and mother in law both got the zip once they saw mine. Now we have competitions to see who does the best each week. I like my fitbit one and would not trade it for the world

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
