Nope - I am on the waitlist for the Amiigo though!

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.

@Mamaof2: What made you choose the Amiigo? It looks pretty cool!
-
@petunia354: It does heart rate monitoring!!

I asked DH to get me one for our anniversary!

@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.
@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...

I like it because I log my food on it as well. 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.)
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.
Clearly, I'm a fan.
We have a HB fitbit group too!
