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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
