I have had my fitbit since Jan 2014. Faithful with it. I had the flex most of the time. Now my hubs has my flex I upgraded to the charge so I had the watch. Guess what, now he wants a charge. [will order it tonight for him]. That is what I have used with MFP combo to loose my 30 so far. That one 30 has been up and down all year and not more than 30. Hence why I am here, I need to add a new tool to my plan! Since I am deep in this and now hubs, and in my preop phases, I asked for the Aria scale for xmas for us to use. I think that it is a wonderful addition to our planning and can not wait to have it. Also you can check out mapmyfitness app that will sync your exercise session right into fitbit and MFP for you. SO FAR I have liked it also. If any of you want to find me on fitbit it is //www.fitbit.com/user/2C6XJC and MFP my name is the same on there also both of them

The Fitbit is great. I've been an avid user for years. Got my hubby involved and now we challenge each other.

I misplaced my Fitbit about 10 days ago and it's driving me INSANE. I will finally break down and order a new one if I don't find it by the weekend. It's still live and still syncing (empty) data to my phone, so I know it wasn't stolen or anything. I'm sure it's in the house somewhere but damned if I know where. I had no idea how addicted I was to it until now. :(

What can it do? I hear everyone say they like it but I am unsure what it actually does.

The following major things it's known to do are -

  • Counts your daily steps, and converts this info into calories burned and distance covered, among other things
  • Has a silent alarm you can set to wake you
  • Track your exercise
  • Links with MyFitnessPal to keep track of food intake and calories burned
  • Keeps track of sleeping patterns
  • Keeps track of weight goals

There are more features, but these are the most common ones.

Wish you the best!!

I use fitbit to track steps obviously. I have the alarms set every hour (which actually vibrates on my arm-hard to ignore). It reminds me to fill my water bottle at work. I will probably upgrade to the newer models that track hear rate in the upcoming year. I also have the Aria scale which syncs with fitbit and you can sync your myfitnesspal account with fitbit to have better calorie tracking. If you are looking for a daily workout app, I would try Bodybot. It will give you a daily workout based on your goals and if you workout at home or at a gym....it send an email daily and give you get exercises.

My new Fitbit Charge just shipped and I am so excited to start using it after researching its benefits. I have a little over two weeks left before I'm cleared to begin my exercise regime so nothing beats being prepared!!

If anyone is interested in getting a fitbit QVC will be selling it starting tomorrow night. It's not the newest one,the charge. It's the one before that. I just ordered mine today through an email they sent and can't wait to get it. Right now I just use a regular pedometer my job gave us for the Virgin Healthmiles program but have been wanting a fitbit.

@@MisforMimi, sounds like we have the same setup - fitbit flex (waiting on the charge HR too) for steps and reminders, aria scale, mfp for nutrition tracking.... but I not familiar with Bodybot. I just searched the app store and couldn't find it. Is it IOS or Android?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
