It will calculate your basal metabolic rate, and in combination with your steps/activity, it will tell you approximately how many calories you burn per day. (Within the limitations of the device. I wish it gave me credit for lugging E up and down the stairs, but it only counts the number of flights I climb.)</p> <p>You can set a plan to target a specific calorie deficit each day. (I'm on the "kinda hard" plan of a 750 calorie deficit per day, which is totally achievable eating 1200 to 1300+ calories per day as long as I don't sit on my butt all day.) In fact, the best part is that you *don't* want to sit on your butt, because you gotta get those steps, man! And I'm not going to the gym either...but I'm down from 147 to 144 since I started more faithfully using it after the holidays on December 30th. </p> <p>Clearly, I'm a fan. :) We have a HB fitbit group too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324860 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:10:35 +0000 Marfi 1324860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I have the FitBit One. I like it for the most part though I have found you pretty much always need to be wearing clothing with pockets. I am probably going to be buying the flex in the next few days.</p> <p>@petunia354: It's mainly for counting a steps, so super useful when using a treadmill, walking/running outdoors. I have been able to use it on an elliptical but other than that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324849 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:08:42 +0000 Ra 1324849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked DH to get me one for our anniversary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324830 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:06:52 +0000 Mamaof2 1324830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: It does heart rate monitoring!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324821 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:04:21 +0000 petunia354 1324821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: What made you choose the Amiigo? It looks pretty cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324806 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:00:26 +0000 petunia354 1324806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking at them online last night. I think I like the force the best because it has a screen, but I wish it had a heart rate monitor built in. I'm not sure I understand how it tracks your activity accurately without measuring your heart rate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324801 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:58:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1324801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - I am on the waitlist for the Amiigo though!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amiigo.co/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amiigo.co/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fitbit#post-1324716 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:34:49 +0000 Boheme 1324716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considering getting one.
