I just got one yesterday and I'm kind of obsessed. I'm at 7048 steps today!
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: I absolutely adored mine!!!
Then I laundered it and it stopped working.
-
@mrbee: Nooo! Get another one and I'll be your friend! Of course, you would probably put me to shame since you actually live in a walkable area.
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: Yes! I have a fitbit! We were all given them at work for a little fitness experiment. I love it - can't wait to really start using it when I'm not 9 months preggo - but I still get up to between 7,000 and 9,000 steps/day.
I was also really liking tracking my sleep, but now since I get up so much to go to the bathroom it seems pointless.
@mrbee: I washed mine too! I realized what I did about 10 minutes into the dryer cycle - pulled it out - and amazingly, it still works fine!
-
@hellobeeboston: Haha, yeah, it would be depressing to think about your sleep efficiency at 9 months. (And also over the next few months after!)
I am also syncing mine with MyFitnessPal, where I've started tracking my food. It has a huge database and I can literally just scan stuff in with a barcode and it knows exactly how many calories to log and what not.
Perhaps I should have known all along that it would be a gadget or two that would finally give me the kick in the pants I needed ...
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: oh that is awesome. when I start trying to get back in shape PP I may do something similar!
yeah - the device is a great motivator - there are lots of competitions going on at my office, I'm not really as involved right now (obviously) but I definitely will be!
-
I love my fitbit, although currently it refuses to sync with my computer.
-
@duckduckkristen: oh no! there is a definite lag, which is annoying.
What's also annoying is that they're coming out with a new one that can sync with your phone via bluetooth. That's the one thing I really find lacking right now. I dislike having to use my computer as the middle man.

Just wanted to see if anyone else got a Fitbit for Christmas
I got the fit zip - the one that is more round. I'm just playing around with it today and seeing how TERRIBLY sedentary I am at work. I guess that happens in a small office! I want to figure out how to sync it with My Fitness Pal.

Too funny - my boss was *just* showing me his! I want one now!!
