To FitBit or not?

Question

Starting my weight loss journey! Been working out 3-4 times a week. I see everyone with fit bits my question is do you guys like them? Reccomend them? Which one? so many different styles? Is it worth the money?

Answer

People have been losing weight for a lot longer than fitbits have been around and they did just fine.

I don't think they are worth the money to be honest but if you can afford it and really want one then go for it.

Answer

I have the first generation fit bit and love using it. It definitely motivates me to walk more everyday! I'm sure you could get a used one for cheap. I would totally recommend it. Side note: I worked out yesterday without it and felt cheated because my steps weren't tracked! It kinda gets addictive.

Answer

I have the Alta! Love it... keeps me accountable

Answer

I am cheap so I've always tracked excercise, weight, & eating manually with Lose It! (Free app) and counted steps with my phone's S health. Both to lose & to maintain. However, a friend says she loves Fit Bit's sleep tracking feature. She's noticed she is less restless the more excercise she gets in a week. If there is a dirt cheap in your area they often sell Fit Bits for $60. But my friends who use it aren't concerned about weight loss and have no notes regarding it, but more about just being less stagnant in general.

Answer

Fitbit to me is not worth it. Unless you get one that's water proof. I think I would wear mine if I didn't have to take it off before I shower cause then I just forget to put it back on.

Answer

Love the charge hr2. It lets you see your message or calls as the come in. This is so great that I can be outside with my son and still not miss a message or call. You can also see your stats on the screen. It's great for getting in the fat burning zone or the cardio zone.

Answer

I was looking at getting the second generation! Would love to know mothers opinions 😊

Answer

I LOVE MINE!!! I had the clip but lost it so I got an Alta HR... I am absolutely obsessed! It has really motivated me to walk and run. Its been great.

Answer

If the money isn't an issue, I found that the tracking was informative and motivational.

I have had three different models. I prefer the Blaze. Although I really wish it was waterproof. It's just that I can't go backwards from a full color touchscreen now.

I would say, generally speaking, that if you aren't going to use the app, then it's probably not worth it for a fitness tracker. My husband rarely ever opened his app when he wore his Fitbit, and he found out that he didn't really care about the tracking. He bought an Apple Watch, which is more of a phone accessory, and likes it better. But he's mainly using it to get and send a text, and to answer phone calls.

Answer

I use and love The Withings watch. There is also a scale that connects to the app and keeps track of everything.
