I have hit the 6 week mark and now feel ready to start really exercising. I'm sure many started before this but with me I just wanted to wait and let things sort of become more normal first. Anyways I want to get an activity tracker. I'm leaning towards the fitbit flex but I want to make the right choice. Any feed back would help. Likes, dislikes, or even other kinds that you guys like better. Thank you so much!

I absolutely LOVE my fit bit flex.... Worth the 100.00. Keeps me accountable for my food intake and activity. I like being able to see the steps and active minutes increase throughout the day.

I have the Fitbit flex and I love it. I think it is pretty accurate and once you get used to the annoying rubber wrist band, it is awesome. I have seen that Garmin has a new product out (Vivofit, $129) that might be the next step in these trackers, but I'm sticking with the Fitbit for now. It's a great little tool for about $97 bucks.

I have a fitbit one which I clip to my bra - I find it easier than wearing a Bracelet type activity tracker - and it doesn't show. I have to dress up somewhat for work and a rubber looking bracelet just doesn't look right all the time. It has been quite accurate and also links up with My Fitness Pal and Sparkpeople. I find it motivating as I am always trying to improve the number of steps I take.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
