Fitness tracker which one is better for us?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I have an iphone ans ipad, and i was wondering which fitness tracker does anyone recommand for our special needs

Nike fuelband, fitbit, up24 jawbone or the garmin vivofit? Or anything else

I do have sleep apnea( hopefûly with the weight lost that will go away), and i work at a desk all day ( and my company is too cheap to allow me to have a working station where i can stand and sit)

I want to make sure i get enough Proteins, enough Water (which i struggle with) and as less calories as possible and a reminder to tell me to move.

Let me know you're feeling about these guizmo

Thanks

I want to know too...I hear a lot of people on here are fans of Fitbit, so I will probably go with that.

I have the Fitbit Flex, but I wish I had one of the other models. It doesn't give you any actual info until you log in online. Other models will display your stats.

I LOVE MY FITBIT. I have the Flex. It is great for me (I'm online most of the day with work, so it's easy to find stuff ... plus I love the report graphs.

Truly, the Fitbit has helped me double my daily steps.

And I haven't even been sleeved yet.

I was interested by fitbit felx, but then I read a review pn the net that Fitbit overestimated the steps count and also the calorie lost....like by a lot. For the same workout...the nike and jawbone were almost the same and but there was about a 5 times difference with fitbit flex.. The garmin seems intresting for the reason that you dont need to charge it and it's truely waterproof, but doesnt kick your butt hard enough to go out and move. I dunno

I use a free phone app called Accupedo for a pedometer, and then log it in MyFitnessPal. Free and works great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
