I don't have one yet. But my surgery is still several months away, so hopefully I will get one before then! ☺️

I'm on my way to Best Buy to pick up my Jawbone UP2! I'm a tech geek and now have a reason to justify the purchase! ???? I'm also very curious about my sleep because my doctor keeps asking if I snore...she suspects sleep apnea due to my neck size...I'm hoping the UP2 will give me a little insight...and I'm the kind of person that likes to see numbers (i.e.: steps, calories, etc)

So here's the 5 main reasons I chose the Jawbone UP line over Fitbit:

1) it's slimmer

2) I don't need text/call alerts

3) the UP app is superior to The Fitbit app, especially when adding food

4) it has an adjustable strap which shrinks with you (you know, for when you're all skinny and stuff ????) Fitbit makes you choose either a small, medium or XL and the XL is only available with certain models

5) the UP2 now automatically knows when you are asleep (same as Fitbit)

Here's a good article by PC Mag on fitness trackers http://mobile.pcmag.com/reviews/55853-best-fitness-trackers-for-2015?origref=

I also watched YouTube videos that helped me narrow it down to exactly what I was looking for.

Happy Tracking!

I had one but noticed it wasn't very accurate. I had the Charge. If I waved my hand back and forth it counted that as steps took. Other than that I liked it. I took it back and am researching more or just going to use my iPhone. I wanted the HR but no one in our area had it. I think it would be better than the regular one.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
