I Love My Fitbit!! (Review)

Have you heard of fitbit? Well, let me tell you a bit about it. It's an electronic wireless tracker that does a whole lot of stuff. It tracks your steps, distance traveled, tracks how well you sleep, calories burned, tracks floor climbed, it also has a clock so if you don't like to wear a watch you always have a clock on you.  It's very small, easy to clip on to the waste of your pants, in your pocket or even on your bra. :) I really Love it!! Before I got mine I was wondering what's better, The body bugg or the fit bit. This is some research I found to compare them.


I love knowing how many calories I burned during the day.  Knowing how many steps I take has really motivated me to make sure I take at least 10,000 each day.  This last week I got up to over 16,000. WooHoo!! I love this little device.  It's motivating, I feel more in control of what I'm doing.  I've never been very good at tracking what I eat, writing it down, etc.  But, I love doing it with Fitbit and I now realize how keeping track is a really important thing to do to help me reach my fitness goals. I put in what I eat and it lets me know if I'm over my calories or if I can eat more based on my goals and based on the activity and calories burned that day.  It's pretty awesome!  You can also connect it to other popular apps like My Fitness Pal , Map my Run, and many more.  It's also pretty cool that it tracks my sleep, it will tell me how many times I woke up, how long it took me to fall asleep, my sleep efficiency, how many hours of sleep I actually got.  It's a pretty nifty little device.  My husband wants one now too. :)
Go to www.fitbit.com to learn more about it and everything that it does.
Let me know if you try it out.  In my opinion you will not be disappointed with Fitbit!

  3. I have been hearing about this little thing for awhile now. I need something besides my phone to track my distance when I run, and I like how it tracks steps during the day. I think that would make me move more outside of my scheduled running!

    But probably the most interesting part of it is the sleep tracker!! How neat!

    This is going on my "when I have money left over from paying for my daughter's stuff" list! :)
