Dirty Sanchez posted:I have one as do about 20 acquaintances and friends. It's fun to compete as it gets you up and moving when you might ordinariky sit around. It's also my alarm clock, and vibrates me awake at 5 without waking up the wife. Combined with myfitnesspal, it's helped me lose 40 lbs since june. I like the fitbit app, is myfitnesspal actually better?

Once I do my annual health screen for my insurance I'll have enough points to buy the super huge one from the points mall so I will get mine in about 4 weeks. Looking forward to it, thanks for asking opee!

I like my Fitbit, I think the heart rate stuff is at least interesting to look at. Since it was a gift, I'd say try it out, it's not like you really wasted your own money on it. But if it's not the HR one, maybe think about exchanging it and buying up to the HR. The weekly challenges are kinda cool, too, if you have friends. But I'm guessing you don't have very many friends, so can always just leave it on your wrist when you jerk off and then be impressed with your "step" count.

I got one for my birthday and liked the challenges against friends. But then I lost the little charger thing when I moved. So I need to go to the massive effort of buying a new one. Eh.

If you were fat I guess it'd be cool to challenge your fat friends to walk like 500 steps a day until a week later when no one has done it

No really the best thing is having your calorie counter linked to the pedometer so you're always sure you've got a calorie deficit, and can just go walk some if you have a bigass meal
