And what do you like or don't like about it?
Has it helped you to lose weight?
I want to get one but not sure which one to go for.

I have the Charge HR. It DOES make me get up and move around a lot more than I would otherwise, so I think it's helping me lose weight, but I wouldn't give it all the credit. I like how it can be tied to MyFitnessPal so that your exercise is automatically added. I don't like how frequently it has to be charged (every 3 days or so.)

Charge HR. I've been pregnant 12 of the 16 months I've worn it so not sure about weight loss. I also enjoy the syncing with My Fitness Pal although I think all fitbit have that? It does motivate me to keep moving on lazy days for sure!

I have the flex. The Fitbit itself doesn't motivate me but being in challenges with my friends does. It makes me much more accountable for my steps and wanting to be active. I find it doesn't do well with counting my steps fully while pushing a stroller but I have put the in my pocket of I'm going to walk a lot with the stroller. I also wish it was waterproof!

Flex. I don't like that it does not have a stair count or a watch. I have not lost weight but I walk 2-4x a day more than I did before. I like stats and it keeps me motivated. Love it!

Flex. It helps me when I remember to charge it!

charge hr
no, not yet. but I haven't used it like I'm supposed to I guess. I got it for Christmas when I was 8 months pregnant and didn't even take it out of the box until LO2 was about a month old. And the only reason I did was because I was curious on how much sleep I was getting (about 5 hours total). So...now LO2 is about 4 months...I guess I have to actually use it for losing weight!
FYI: one feature I really love is...the Charge HR has caller ID on it so when someone calls you, their name appears. It's awesome bc when my phone is at the bottom of the diaper bag and when I'm holding LO, I can see really quick who is calling me and if I can wait to pick up the call

I have the charge HR and I really like it. I find it pretty accurate and I like that it tracks my (lack of) sleep too. Sometimes it motivates me but other times it doesn't haha. I like seeing how I compare with my friends though. I find it has to be charged frequently. That's my biggest complaint.

Flex. I got it free from my last job. I bought a cute wristband from Etsy for it. It did help me lose weight, and also gain it healthily when I was pregnant with DD.
-
Charge HR. I was hesitant at first, fortunately my husband convinced me to get one. I have to admit it's quite encouraging, helped me lose 25lbs post pregnancy (well it's a year later still holding 15lbs. Love it more and makes me more determined if my friends and I join challenges.

I have a Flex. It didn't do anything for me. I already walk to work both ways (about 30 min each way) and I don't have time to add more walking, so it didn't motivate me to do anything more. I did like that it tracked my sleep.
If I were to get another one, I'd probably need one with a heart rate monitor so it could track my non-walking workouts better. That might be a better motivator than the steps, for my lifestyle.

I have a flex and I'm obsessed with it. I run a lot so I like to see how many steps I can get in a day.... I'm not really looking to lose much weight but I do track that in the app. I really like the sleep tracking too! I would like to get the nicer one with heart rate at some point.
