For those of you that have one of these things... Do you like it? Does it work acutely? Does the PC download logging info cost anything monthly or yearly?  Would you buy another one if yours broke?  Just wondering was thinking of getting one.

Is it easy to use and record on line??

Thanks Jennifer

 I got one one month after surgery and used it for about a month and then stopped. It seemed to be somewhat accurate, but I just wasnt into it. It didnt cost anything to download online, but I dont think I would buy another one either.

 I would strongly encourage you to pick it back up.  It really is a great tool to help you tarck your steps and meet your fitness goals.  Recent studies have shown that the use of s pedometer or fitness tracker can help you lose weight faster and keep it off.  Its really an effortless way of measuring your activity and increasing your accountability.

  I love my FitBit.  Their online tool is a bit wonky and its calorie estimates are a bit on the high side, so I sync it to MyFitnessPal and use MFP's calorie estimates - which are much more conservative and closer to the results from my HRM.  They have a portal that is free - thats all I use.  You can pay a monthly subscription for FitBit Personal Trainer.  I don't do that.

As far as tracking steps, stairs, etc - nothing could be easier.  I love the wireless syncing with my computer, it makes tracking and measuring effortless.  The battery lasts for weeks on a single charge,

Definitely invest in a fitbit!  Easily worth the $100.

 Theres a link on either MFP or FitBit (under Apps, I think) to link the two accounts.

 I have both the pedometer and the scale. I love the convenience. There is no cost for the uploaded data. I would definately buy both again. It is very easy to record online, because it just does it by itself wirelessly. You don't even have to think about it.


I never take the pedometer off, and I use the scale every day, but I try not to look at the number every time.
