Re: Fitbit

I really like my Fitbit charge. It's more of a toy than anything. It also synchs with the WW app for activity points. I love how it tracks my heart rate during my spin or other gym classes.
Some people don't think it's worth the money but I really like mine.

I love my Charge HR, I actually have one for sale.

Re: Fitbit

Pros:
education and awareness of physical activity level
Motivation
Goal setting

Cons:
Have to remember to wear and charge it
Can get obsessed
Can still be overweight even if you get lots of steps in (for example someone who works a 12 hour shift and doesnt sit down a lot during that time can still have a poor diet)
Charge is bulky and ugly i would get an Alta and get the jewelry bands to go

I dont wear one anymore but because I was wearing it for a long time I certainly know when i have a good or bad day without wearing it.
