Fitness tracker?

Lindzoid

Has anyone used a fitness tracker similar to fitbit? I am considering getting ones for DH and I to motivate each other. I'm looking for any feedback/advice. What have you used, did you like it, dislike it and anything else my sleep deprived mommy brain can't think of!! Thanks ladies!!

DH and I both have Polar monitors. We just have the basic one that tracks heart rate and calories burned but I know you can get ones that have more detail and options.

This one.

One of my favorite things about it is that it will sync with most gym equipment that has a heart rate display so you don't have to stop to get a reading .

My mom has the fitbit and loves it! She has lost 15 lbs

I have the jawboneUP and it's cool because it tracks sleep too. For accurate calorie burn, you need something with a chest strap. I have a polar. But just for the novelty, I like the jawboneUP. I got it on Groupon.

I love my fitbit. Before I got pregnant I lost a bunch of weight using it. Having both the calories I'm eating and burning in the same place really helps me. If I indulge in something, it gets me up and moving to burn it off... Rather than me just getting discouraged I messed up my diet and then saying screw it and giving up.

@AmandaJean12‌ which fitbit do you have?

The flex because it's skinnier and I can change the band.

I have the fitbit One and love it. I've been using fitbit for about 2 years. I like that it syncs up to an app and I can see how I am doing against my friends. The model that have tracks steps and flights of stairs. My scale recently broke so I bought the aria scale from fitbit that also syncs with the app and graphs my weight (this info is private so no one sees it). I highly recommend Fitbit

I love my FitBit One!

I have the fitbit flex but I have found that I have some major inaccuracies with the number of steps I take because it counts when I am rocking LO in the rocking chair. Oh well. I still like it

Ditto to all of the above! I've started taking mine off when I rock DS so I can see how many steps I really have.

I love my Fitbit though. I lost about 20 pounds before pregnancy with it. Now I've got about 25 to lose.
