Activity tracker



Recommended Posts

Thinking of buying something that tracks my steps and activity like a Fitbit..... But there's so many different devices out there, wondering what everyone is using?

I have a Fitbit Flex that my sister gave me for Christmas. My NP wants me to walk 10,000 steps a day and now I do! It also will sync with MyFitnessPal. I love it!

I started with a jawbone up24. The app is gorgeous and completely functional and the sleep tracking is near perfect, but it was physically too bulky at the inside of my wrist, so it went back.

Next was a misfit shine, which is a beautiful piece of tech, tells time while you're at it, and claims to be able to track in the Water too. But the interface is absolutely terrible and the app is completely unusable, so that went back too.

My third choice was a Fitbit flex and I love it. The band is unobtrusive and it's easy to forget I'm wearing it. The app is great. The lack of automated sleep tracking is annoying and one of the reasons I'm upgrading to a Fitbit charge hr later this month. But overall I love my Fitbit and would never want to go without it again.

Hope this helps!

oh my goodness you are on fitbit too!!!!!!!!!!! we need to connect on there too. I have had fitbit now for over a year and I love it like crazy. I did upgrade to the Charge non HR and it is ok, I do miss my flex in many ways but my charge is nice. Highly recommend it.

I have the fitbit flex as well and love it. I constantly forget to put it to sleep or wake it up. Even so, it tracks everything else i need. I have a bunch of colors of the bands and they were all ugly, in my opinion. i found a necklace that has a little pouch for it on the back side and no one can see it. The necklace looks great and works better for me than the band. love the flex.

I've got the FitBit flex too & it's been one of the best motivators for me- I find myself getting upset if all my trackers aren't green by evening time :P

I've been known to go and get back on the treadmill if all my trackers aren't green! Plus I have an on going competition with my sister. Sad thing is.. she doesn't know it! She's had her fitbit almost a year longer than me and I'm out to beat her on total lifetime distance!

I also constantly forget to put mine to sleep / wake up. This is a big reason why I am upgrading to the Charge HR, which tracks sleep automatically.

And I also have many different colors of bands for my Flex, but agree they are all ugly and basically never wear them. Basic black goes with everything, they say. :) I hadn't heard of the necklace/pouch option and would totally have researched and bought one if I wasn't about to replace mine. Cheers!

I really fell in love with my Fitbit Charge after I linked it to Myfitnesspal. I've owned my treadmill for about 6 years and I've gotten more use out of it in the past month than ever before. Fitbit keeps me motivated. Even when I don't want to exercise, I have to get in my daily step goal or I just can't rest!

I got a Fitbit One for Christmas, and I love it. I also have the Aria scale which is the best thing ever... I love that it tracks my weight for me each day!

      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.

      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!!
